I\'m in a scenario where I\'m manipulating bitmaps using AForge.net in Unity. However, a Bitmap can\'t be applied to a texture in Unity, so I visibly can see my output, so how i
I managed to achieve this by using a memorystream, i.e.:
MemoryStream msFinger = new MemoryStream();
bitmapCurrentframeRed.Save(msFinger, bitmapCurrentframeRed.RawFormat);
redCamera.LoadImage(msFinger.ToArray());
redFilter.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTexture = redCamera;
With bitmapCurrentframeRed being a Bitmap, redCamera being a texture2D and redFilter being a GameObject(plane) used to view my output.
you can try these line to convert System.Drawing.Bitmap to UnityEngine.Texture2D
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap;
MemoryStream ms= new MemoryStream();
bmp.Save(ms,ImageFormat.PNG);
var buffer = new byte[ms.Length];
ms.position = 0;
ms.Read(buffer,0,buffer.Length);
Texture2D t = new Texture2D(1,1);
t.LoadImage(buffer);
