looks sweet but what about 2d tilesets?
This system outputs a single tiling material instance. But the way textures are handled in 3D nowadays, it’s not recommended to use sprite sheets for anything other than VFX animations. You can’t get high quality results with sprite sheets, and it will be much more expensive to shift the sheet around for every material you want to create than to just separate them all into individual textures using shared samplers.
Guys, this system is only going to be on Trello until May 29th! Please go there and vote if you want to see it happen!
19 votes so far! Thank you to all who’ve taken the time to vote! There’s still 15 more days of voting left, so if you want to see this thing happen, please go vote!
I was also planning on uploading a more practical video tutorial of this system at work, to give you a better idea of how a system like this can be used in your project. If anyone has any questions about it, please let me know.
Hey guys, today is the last day to vote for this system! Voting closes at midnight! Thanks to everyone who voted for this. I’m currently uploading a demonstration of importing assets and making a custom material with this system so you guys can get a taste for how easy it is to work with this thing, but the file size for this video is huge (I guess that’s what I get for uploading 1080p 30 fps). The video should be up in a few hours.
EDIT: Sorry, Youtube changed its upload policy. Now I can’t upload any videos beyond 128 GB, or longer than 15 minutes. With the size restriction, it will be almost impossible for me to upload a clear stream of video unless it’s under a minute long.
Thank you guys so much for voting for me! I can finally announce that this system will indeed be coming to the marketplace! YAY!
I’ll be making a new thread in the Marketplace forum very soon and continue to provide further updates and info over there. Peace!
Thank you all for your votes and patience: I’m happy to announce that the time has finally come for you to purchase the Perfect Tile System! This system will be released on the marketplace for $15 starting tomorrow, June 10th. I’m moving all new updates and progress to this shader over to a new thread on the Marketplace. Don’t worry, it’s not over yet!
