I've been messing around with Pixi and have wondered if there is a way to convert Sprites back to Textures. Basically, I wanted to create a plain blue texture from PIXI.Texture.WHITE, but found that I couldn't tint Textures directly. I then wanted to convert them to Sprites, tint those, and then convert them back to Textures via  new PIXI.Texture(<tinted Sprite>), but when trying to render the Container, Pixi threw an exception:

I just started using Pixi, so I might've missed something obvious. I would be happy to post code snippets if needed. Everything that I found implied that I shouldn't tint the texture itself, but rather tint it when rendering the scene with sprites; would that be the correct/more efficient way to do it?

you have to use renderTexture and "renderer.render()" method to do that.

Yes, "sprite.tint" costs almost nothing whether its a sprite or a particle , its on shader side  Texture.WHITE was made exactly for that - use it with tint and it'll give you any color of sprite
