Hi, I’m making 2d+3d game (Don’t Starve Together like). So most of my graphics is the same plane with diferent textures. Is there an optimal way to handle this 1 mesh 100 textures situation?
Most of items are collectables, so I use item database (Data Table). It lets me set a mesh, but when I try to do the same with material or texture, nothing happens (or UE5 crushes itself).
Pls tell me, if u have any ideas how to solve this. It would be weird to create 100 copies of the same plane and assign mat instance to every of them, I guess.
Thanks.
You can either change the whole material on the mesh, or (probably better way in your case) just change the textures.
To do that, you need a material with a texture parameter.
Then you have to create a dynamic material instance of that material during runtime. This will allow you to change the texture parameter during gameplay.
