Last issue, we shared the texturing work Cass had started on the forest homes, many of which resemble beautiful log cabins due to the intricate woodwork featured throughout. Much to Cass's relief (we're sure anyway), he was finally able to finish applying textures to the townhouses over the past few weeks. Take a look!

Textures are simply bound to bind points starting from 0, and the bind point number is sent via attributes too. The vertices become primitives (in this case, a triangle fan, two triangles that are drawn as a quad) and any primitive that goes beyond the -1 to +1 range is clipped. As you can see: Vertices / UVs are sent via attributes.

In cases where a lot of objects need to be drawn, having them all share the same texture (or material) may reduce draw calls or state changes. When working on tile-sets, it's normal to have everything already drawn to a single texture but if the level uses a lot of separate images, then using an atlas may make sense to improve performance.

A Ninepatch element is a (usually textured) rectangle that has a fixed margin for the borders. The same approach shouldn't be used in GLES2, since some drivers work a lot better if no dependent texture reads are performed. With that done, the editor almost rendered correctly, except for some incorrect clipping.
