For those that wish to start testing with multi texturing, here is a very small example.
Our main focus for this first MVP was using animations with corresponding names like so:
diffuse.atlas:
hero_run:
run1.png
run2.png
...
normal.atlas:
hero_run:
run_normal_1.png
run_normal_2.png
...
Here you have to use the “rename patterns” to rename the normal images accordingly.
I don’t have a good example project of this yet.
Update: I also added an embryo for a normal map example. Currently, the shader isn’t setup to do actual normal mapping, but it should still serve as an example:
