# Image 2D Read (RealityKit) Direct texture read. ## Parameter Types **Image 2D Read (vector4f):** |Input |Type | |---------|---------| |`File` |AssetPath| |`Default`|Vector4f | |`X` |Int32 | |`Y` |Int32 | |`Lod` |Int32 | |Output|Type | |------|--------| |`Out` |Vector4f| **Image 2D Read (color4):** |Input |Type | |---------|-------------| |`File` |AssetPath | |`Default`|Color4| |`X` |Int32 | |`Y` |Int32 | |`Lod` |Int32 | |Output|Type | |------|-------------| |`Out` |Color4| ## Parameter description - `File`: The image file to use for the texture. - `Default`: The default value to use if the ​`File`​ parameter fails to resolve. - `X`: The X position of the pixel that the node reads. - Y: The Y position of the pixel that the node reads. - `Lod`: The specific LOD level that the node samples from. ## Discussion The `Image 2D Read` node performs a straight read from a 2D texture without a sampler. Use this node if you have a texture that’s just data. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
