Packing all textures into one map. Pros and cons?
So, I've had some free time on my hands, and wandered into that there rabbit hole named texturing. I originally were just experimenting with non-square UV's, when it occurred to me that if I'm doing a 4:1 texture anyway, I just might benefit from packing it all into one texture. I.E. Normal at the top, then Albedo,… -

Don't at all. Artists don't often get involved in this and I had to think a moment about the texture panner example. -
Re: Packing all textures into one map. Pros and cons?
I think you need to understand some fundamentals about textures first, as this is not feasible (in the same texture file). If I am incorrect, I ask anyone else to correct me and follow up. 1. Normal Maps: Comprised of 3 greyscale channel images (RGB) being combined to generate the lighting information to be interpreted.… -

Yeah you're right about the multiple UV channels too. Scrolling UVs are a bit of a different use case because they're still only sampling the texture once per frame, it's just the UV coordinate has changed. In this case you're sampling the same texture 4 times in a single frame. Edit: To be clear, in shading languages…
