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.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

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>`.

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

.. _class_MultiMeshInstance2D_property_multimesh:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

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

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_multimesh** **(** :ref:`MultiMesh<class_MultiMesh>` value **)**
- :ref:`MultiMesh<class_MultiMesh>` **get_multimesh** **(** **)**

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

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

.. _class_MultiMeshInstance2D_property_normal_map:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

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

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_normal_map** **(** :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>` value **)**
- :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>` **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:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

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

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_texture** **(** :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>` value **)**
- :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>` **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.
