Trying to figure out how to do my own 9-slicing

just not understanding how it works

Which specific aspect of the built-in solution is not working for you? Any examples?

@xTheos

how can I separate an image or material into it’s segments based on inputted margins

Things to note:

• margins are percentages
• in Border mode use the smallest image dimensions you’ll ever need and only scale up
• not all images can be 9-sliced
• when working with materials, don’t forget to set Image Size (256x256) below - it will affect how the material behaves

---

The margin of .1 is enough in this example, as 10% of the edge is just enough to exclude from scaling.

It will always break at very small sizes as there’s not enough pixels to work with.
