Regression

No

RenderTexture is flipped upside down when using "RenderTextureDescriptor"

Texture

-

Reproduction steps:

1. Open "1129666" project
2. Enter Play mode
3. Double Click "CustomDrawer" -> "CustomDrawer (Script)" -> "Rendertexture" -> "CustomRT"
4. Notice that the RenderTexture is flipped upside down
5. Uncomment line 25 and Comment line 24 in "CustomDrawer" script and repeat steps 2 and 3
6. Notice that the RenderTexture is not flipped

Expected Result: Uniform behavior in how RenderTexture is rendered
Actual Result: RenderTexture is flipped upside down when using "RenderTextureDescriptor"

Reproduced with: 2019.2.0a6, 2019.1.0b5, 2018.3.7f1, 2017.4.21f1

  1. Resolution Note:

    You can avoid this behaviour by making sure that you use a constructor that takes any amount of parameters greater than 0, or by manually setting `flags |= RenderTextureCreationFlags.AllowVerticalFlip`. I would generally recommend the first solution, as that will ensure that any new properties or flags that might be added in the future have sensible default values.

    The reason this happens is that C# provides a parameterless constructor for all struct types. It is not possible to remove or override this constructor. The parameterless constructor will set all values in the struct to 0, whereas the constructors we have implemented for the struct will, amongst other things, set the `RenderTextureCreationFlags.AllowVerticalFlip` on the `flags` property.

    Also present on both Unity versions 2020.1.0b6 & 2019.3.0f3. I did not test other versions.

    Additional test case with write-up available here if helpful: https://github.com/Bouncyrock/potential-cubemap-descriptor-bug
