I want to build a complex character made by sprites, which has a body, and some nodes attached to it like arms, head, legs. Is there a way to do it in native Babylon.js? In case not, what would the best way to implement it? I’m thinking in three ways: Implement a node system for sprites, updat…

We do not support this with sprites. I kind of like the first way :slight_smile:

Thank you all guys, but it is for an engine that only works with Bjs. The implementation has to be native to the engine or native to bjs. I will just update the sprite nodes frame by frame. I’m sure those options will work for anybody looking to do something similar :slight_smile:

I see you’re mentioning a node system, are you perhaps referring to a node material? If not, I would recommend looking into using a Node Material. With a node material, you can layer any number of textures, which you can swap out at runtime. Here’s a basic setup with support for 3 layers: [image…

The system is for Sprites, not textures, but I appreciate your answer. That’s accurated in case using textures. Nevertheless I’d consider using that system if it is possible to animate textures using spritesheets. Is that possible?

I have not looked into how sprites work in Babylonjs, but I know in other 3D renderers that sprites are simply just textures rendered to quads. So, I would assume that node material also works for sprites. But if someone could correct me on that, that would be great. As for using spritesheets, that…

[image] Khanon: Problem: can affect the performance if there are many nodes in screen. I think you could precalculate some offset tables to make things faster.

If that’s possible and I can use animated textures in the same way as sprites, I will go for that option for the engine. The thing here is being able to build it using code. The node material editor would be a secondary option. @sebavan What do you think about using textures and material nodes inst…

Could you show me a simple example in PG of how to attach two sprites to a bone?
