Float to texture?

Fair enough. TBH most of the functionality I’d get out of this could be achieved with UV map manipulation.

I am curious as to whether there’s a hard technical limitation why this can’t be done, though. For instance, if you gave me a short list of float3s (of square length), I myself could open up paint or whatever and make you an image with those color values, so algorithm-wise it’s not exactly complex. Is it to do with how bitmap files are represented?

It’s just matter where you want to create texture. Material logic is run per pixel and that is not the place where you could do anykind of memory allocations.
