The Multi Tile map allows multiple texture tiles to be loaded into the UV editor at the same time.
Use the Multi Tile map to load multiple texture tiles into the UV editor. This is useful for opening and displaying high resolution textures produced by 3D painting applications such as Mudbox, and is an effective alternative to using multiple UV channels to texture objects.
Note: When working with UDIMs, you can only see the first texture in the Viewport using the Multi Tile map. If you use the OSL BitMap Lookup shader, you are able to see multiple textures.
