init(named:)

Loads the texture with the specified filename from the app’s main bundle.

Declaration

convenience init?(named name: String)

Parameters

  • name:

    The name, including extension, of the image file to load as a texture.

Return Value

A new texture object for the specified image file, or nil if no such file exists.

Discussion

Calling this method immediately loads image data from the specified file. To instead create a texture object referencing a file and defer loading image data, use the MDLURLTexture class.

This method does not cache the texture objects it creates; calling this method again with the same name parameter as a previous call will load image data from the file again.
