I just toggled the “Baked Pivots” option in the shader to ON.

For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction. This may sound like the obvious way of doing things but, in truth, it creates a big bottleneck on allowing users to write shaders. Users need to learn not only the language, but how the engine internals work regarding shaders.

We created 4 UV sets of each car and wrote a shader that swaps them. What’s more, it’s easy to imitate movement by creating a simple animation, as we did in the booster’s model. Creating animations for animals wasn’t an easy part. To change the car’s colors we don’t need a separate model or prefab. Track components .
