In order to deform the mesh according to the bone transforms, each vertex (generally "point of a triangle") can be influenced by up to 4 bones. The actual deformation usually happens in the vertex shader , where the bone transforms get looked up from a texture. (In added TIME uniform to all "scriptable" shaders.

Add external scripting languages, such as Lua, Python, etc. While we offer a default particles material (which is very powerful and customizable), it is possible to write your own particle logic entirely in a shader. It is also possible to convert a particle system to a shader and do further modifications to it by yourself, manually.

We created 4 UV sets of each car and wrote a shader that swaps them. To solve the problem we rearranged the mesh and added some edge loops along track parts. Adjusting mesh, rig and skinning needed a couple of iterations. We needed to simplify the mesh and decrease the amount of tiny details for the sake of readability.
