This tutorial explains how to pass arrays to shaders in Unity. This feature has been present for a long time, but is mostly undocumented. Unity 5.4.0 Beta 1 will introduce a proper API to pass arrays to shaders; this technique however will work with any previous version.

Hi Alan, are you able to share the files for the Arrays & Shaders: Heatmaps in Unity tutorial as a zip instead of tar? Much appreciated. Best

Hi! Thank you for joining! The file you are referring to is a unitypackage. Unity packages are actually zip files which contain a lot of other stuff inside (including a tar file!). But that's not how you want to use it. To unpack it, you'll need to import it into Unity! Otherwise you won't be able to make it work!

It seems that when I follow your link I am unable to download it when I click on it...

When I click on the linked file, I get a 'copy file name' instruction rather than being able to download

That's the preview for Google Drive! On the top right you should see a down arrow icon! If you click on it it'll let you download the entire file!

thanks very much for your email. how can I activate the heatmap though? I have imported the package to project. I am still fairly new to Unity. I have previously used heatmap that can be activated with mouse clicks or 360 volumetric heatmaps tracking game object movements. Your tutorial is very impressive but I was wondering what I need to do to activate this. Thanks very much for your time.
