Mesh instances with different UVs not working

[Evgeni_Popov]

Yes, in that case you should use a single texture atlas and pass the (u,v) offset into this texture to your instance. That’s basically what the PG you linked does (https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#64K1I1#2).

If you want to be able to do it with a regular standard / PBR material, you should create a material plugin.

See this answer from @Blake, who is doing it for instanced meshes, but it would be mostly the same for thin instances:

InstancedMesh shared UV

Hey there. I think what you’re after is a way to use a different part of the texture for each face of each instance? Here’s an example that uses a simple material plugin (docs) to add support for a uvOffset attribute. Then the first instance uses the first row of 6 images and the second instance uses the second row of 6 images.
