'Declaration
Protected Overridable Function BuildTexture ( _
         textureName As String, _
         texture As ExternalReference(Of TextureContent), _
         context As ContentProcessorContext _
) As ExternalReference(Of TextureContent) 

protected virtual ExternalReference<TextureContent> BuildTexture (
         string textureName,
         ExternalReference<TextureContent> texture,
         ContentProcessorContext context
)

protected:
virtual ExternalReference<TextureContent> BuildTexture(
         String textureName,
         ExternalReference<TextureContent> texture,
         ContentProcessorContext context
)

Parameters

• textureName
  Type: String
  The name of the texture. This should correspond to the key used to store the texture in Textures.
• texture
  Type: ExternalReference<TextureContent>
  The asset to build. This should be a member of Textures.
• context
  Type: ContentProcessorContext
  Context for the specified processor.

Return Value

Type: ExternalReference<TextureContent>
The built texture content.

Remarks

textureName can be used to determine which processor to use. For example, if a texture is being used as a normal map, the user may not want to use the ModelTextureProcessor on it, which compresses textures.
