Overriding the SpineSprite CanvasItem material?

bitsalive

Hey!
I wonder if it's possible to override the material that's used by the SpineSprite via the CanvasItem/Material section?

I wanna write my own materials with a couple of features (the overridable Materials provided by the SpineSprite are not enough)

Can i just create a material in the CanvasItem slot with a texture input and drag the atlas.png in as albedo?
Or is there more magic happening?

Is it even possible to have a total custom material that's used by the SpineSprite?

Thanks in advance!

You can override the material used by a SpineSprite by setting custom materials for each supported Spine blend mode in the Materials property section of the SpineSprite node. This allows you to apply your own materials with additional features. If you want to apply a custom material to a specific slot, you can use a SpineSlotNode to override the materials for that slot. You can create a material in the CanvasItem slot and use the atlas.png as the albedo texture, but ensure that your custom material is compatible with the rendering requirements of the Spine runtime.

What would the rendering requirements be in that case?

Mario

The material really just needs a texture and an optional normal map. That should be all the requirements.

Great! Thanks!
