Can you use binary data with AiImage?

[AaronWPowell]

If I have the contents of a texture map in memory as binary data, is there a way to render it with the Arnold API? The AiImage only appears to let you provide a file path, but maybe there's another way to do it.

No, aiImage goes through OpenImageIO (OIIO), which reads texture data from disk.
