Metatex is a metadata-only texture asset importer for Unity. It procedurally generates a texture from metadata at import time.

It currently provides the following texture generators:

  • Shader/Material baker
  • Solid color
  • Linear/radial gradient
  • Colormaps (Matplotlib colormaps, Turbo, HSLuv, and HSV)
  • Checkerboard
  • UV checker
  • TV test card
  • Emoji

About Emoji Textures

The Emoji texture generator downloads color emoji assets (image files) from the noto-emoji repository on demand during import, so an internet connection is required.

You must follow the noto-emoji license terms when using imported assets in your project. See the repository documentation for details.
