I use instanced buffered geometry to draw a lot of points. But such geometry uses a single material. How can I use different textures for each point? I have an idea to put all the textures on one canvas, but I don’t understand how to draw the desired texture in the shader.

I use an extra attribute for uv_offset to do this for various use cases typically particles and vegetation systems.

Multiple textures with instanced geometry

Specifically for an instanced buffer geometry, use an instanced buffer attribute to shift UVs.
Jusn an example:

Prevent Points from facing towards camera
