Getting image from sprite atlas

[tingdo]

Hi,

was just wondering, I have this sprite atlas. But how do I have the shader retrieve a portion of the atlas and display it?

Thanks!

Hello tingdo,

Thank you for getting in touch and for your support!

We do provide a couple of examples in the ASE package, more specifically in the Examples > Official > ReadFromAtlasTiled folder, that can point you in the right direction.

Please let me know if these examples are useful or if you have any further questions, thanks!

AH! I see thats really great, the examples are a great help. Should have spent more time poking around in the folders!

Just one more thing. How would I add a panner to this?

We do provide a Panner node with a Time property that allows panning over time or manually, would you kindly elaborate on the intended use for it?

Oh sorry, yea I am trying to apply the panner node to the texture that was cut out from the atlas, but cant figure out where to plug the panner node in?

Trying to make a panning signboard with just that texture from the atlas.

The ReadFromAtlasTiled sample wasn't build to account for that specific use, so it would require some extensive modifications, however I can point out a simple way of doing it that might be useful for you to get started on your own shader, or even modify the aforementioned one!
