1. 1. Checks if a lightmap is assigned to the scene.
   2. Checks the position of the character against the lightmap.
   3. Tints the character based on the color found at the pixel coordinates of where the character is standing.

• The entire character is tinted.
• Lightmaps only affect the tint of the characters. If you want one to affect the entire scene you could add them as images inside of scene objects.
• It’s advisable to add feathering as it allows the character tint to smoothly change from one tint to another.

• Download the spineboy zip from here.
• Open it in spine, go to export and extract the spineboy.atlas, spineboy.png and spineboy-ess.json to a subdirectory of your project.
• Rename the spineboy-ess.json to spineboy.json, the names need to match.
• Add the spineboy.json to the Spine files of an outfit.
• Click on one animation and on the cog wheel select an animation on the right (if the right one seems selected you need to reselect it). It should now be shown in the preview.
