Texture arrays allow storing of multiple images in different layers without any interpolation between the layers. This example demonstrates the use of a 2D texture array with instanced rendering. Each instance samples from a different layer of the texture array.
Based on a example called Texture arrays by Sascha Willems. Recreated as a DemoFramework freestyle window sample in 2016.
