MultiMeshInstance2D
===================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Node2D<class_Node2D>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Node that instances a :ref:`MultiMesh<class_MultiMesh>` in 2D.

Description
-----------

``MultiMeshInstance2D`` is a specialized node to instance a :ref:`MultiMesh<class_MultiMesh>` resource in 2D.

Usage is the same as :ref:`MultiMeshInstance<class_MultiMeshInstance>`.

Properties

Signals
-------

.. _class_MultiMeshInstance2D_signal_texture_changed:

- **texture_changed** **(** **)**

Emitted when the :ref:`texture<class_MultiMeshInstance2D_property_texture>` is changed.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_MultiMeshInstance2D_property_multimesh:

- :ref:`MultiMesh<class_MultiMesh>` **multimesh**

+----------+----------------------+
| *Setter* | set_multimesh(value) |
+----------+----------------------+
| *Getter* | get_multimesh()      |
+----------+----------------------+

The :ref:`MultiMesh<class_MultiMesh>` that will be drawn by the ``MultiMeshInstance2D``.

----

.. _class_MultiMeshInstance2D_property_normal_map:

- :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>` **normal_map**

+----------+-----------------------+
| *Setter* | set_normal_map(value) |
+----------+-----------------------+
| *Getter* | get_normal_map()      |
+----------+-----------------------+

The normal map that will be used if using the default :ref:`CanvasItemMaterial<class_CanvasItemMaterial>`.

**Note:** Godot expects the normal map to use X+, Y+, and Z+ coordinates. See `this page <http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Normal_Map_Technical_Details#Common_Swizzle_Coordinates>`__ for a comparison of normal map coordinates expected by popular engines.

----

.. _class_MultiMeshInstance2D_property_texture:

- :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>` **texture**

+----------+--------------------+
| *Setter* | set_texture(value) |
+----------+--------------------+
| *Getter* | get_texture()      |
+----------+--------------------+

The :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>` that will be used if using the default :ref:`CanvasItemMaterial<class_CanvasItemMaterial>`. Can be accessed as ``TEXTURE`` in CanvasItem shader.
