- | Having games like Minecraft in mind, texturing seems very simple when using a single atlas texture. Working with FMX materials makes this a struggle. | ||
- | Because each time you create a material source and use the atlas texture, FMX will load the texture into the GPU. So if you're having an atlas with 8x8 parts, this will create 64 texture with the size of the original one. This is just horrible memory management. | ||
- | |||
- | That's not what we want. Gorilla3D offers a solution to you: SharedMaterialSource' | ||

- | In the following example we have added 3 TGorillaAtlasMaterialSource instances from component palette before. We've set the " | ||
- | We have 3 cubes, to which we will apply the atlas materials. | ||
- | The shared source material will be created at runtime. (There is no design-time component yet!) | ||
