Sets a read/write image that can be accessed by the pixel shaders used to render to the given camera.
Read/write images are only available to the pixel shader in the rendering pipeline and are quite similar to render targets.
You can not have an image set to be writable by the pixel shader stage at the same time that it is used as a read-only texture for
any object / limb / sprite rendered using this camera while the read/write texture is bound to it.
Read/write textures furthermore share shader registers with render targets and read/write buffers. While read/write resources (textures and buffers)
will overwrite each other if set to the same stage, all render targets will be bound to the first shader register slots. This means that if you have two
render targets, one read/write buffer at stage 0 and another read/write texture at stage 6, the render targets will be bound to registers u0 and u1 on
the GPU, followed by the buffer at u2 and the texture at u3. As such the resource stages are only used to refer to the resources on the CPU; on the GPU they
will always be bound in strict ascending order as outlined above.
Also, since each camera always has a render target, be it the backbuffer or an image, and the fact that there only is a single output register on DX10 hardware,
this function can only be used in DX11 mode.
Read/write images differ from standard render targets in that they can be accessed for any pixel at any time, while render targets can only write to a pre-defined pixel
and have no read access to the image it is writing to.

DX11 SET CAMERA RWIMAGE camera, image, [stage]

camera

Dword
The camera to set the RW texture to be used in the rendering pass of.

image

Dword
The image to bind as a read/write resource. Note that the image must have been created with ACCESSMODE_GPUWRITE to be used in this way.

[Optional] stage

Dword
The stage to bind the writable image to; the valid range is [0..7]. Beware that render targets, read/write textures and read/write buffers all share the same 8 register slots on the GPU.

This function does not return a value.
