This repository is very much inspired by this repository where they managed to have a greedy mesh with properly textured meshes. The only problem I found was that the texture atlas was pre-made. So I set out to fix that by generating the atlas during runtime and avoiding duplicate textures on the atlas.
This entire repository is just a proof of concept!
I also put the cube building inside a job mostly just to make sure it works inside the job system.
- Get all the unique textures
- Pack it into an atlas
- Figure out the X and Y index of each texture using the rect array returned when packing the atlas
- Calculate the atlas X and Y size (not in pixels but "texture amount")
- Calculate the atlas rect.
I commented the code to the best of my abilities so you can hopefully see how it works. There's only one script that generates a test cube with the textured applied.
