**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.
