Hey. I'm looking for a way to generate textures that consist of multiple areas. I want to map textures to those areas as shown in the second picture.
I'm not really sure how to tackle this problem. Should I look into shaders? Is there some sort of texture that supports modification like that? Any interesting ideas would be a huge help.
Context: My game idea is a physics-based 2D virtual aquarium in which you are able to breed fish and then get new fish with new combinations of custom generated textures.

The first thing that comes to mind would be using a sprite with a texture in the shape of the area, using its clip_children property to make it act only as a mask, and give it a TextureRect as a child, tiling the texture.

This is a 3D shader but the concepts should still apply, I think.
