Declaration

public Rect[] PackTextures(Texture2D[] textures, int padding, int maximumAtlasSize, bool makeNoLongerReadable);

Parameters

textures Array of textures to pack into the atlas.
padding Padding in pixels between the packed textures.
maximumAtlasSize Maximum size of the resulting texture.
makeNoLongerReadable Should the texture be marked as no longer readable?

Returns

Rect[] An array of rectangles containing the UV coordinates in the atlas for each input texture, or null if packing fails.

Description

Packs multiple Textures into a texture atlas.

This function will replace the current texture with the atlas made from the supplied textures. The size, format and mipmaps of any of the textures can change after packing.

The resulting texture atlas will be as large as needed to fit all input textures but only up to maximumAtlasSize in each dimension. If the input textures can't all fit into a texture atlas of the desired size then they will be scaled down to fit.

If you have compressed all input textures, and the following conditions are met, Unity also compresses the output atlas:

If input textures are compressed and have mipmaps, the following conditions will cause the atlas to created as an uncompressed texture:

  • If the input textures are compressed but some have mipmaps and others have none, atlas format falls back to being uncompressed.
  • If the compressed input textures have mipmaps and padding > 0, atlas format falls back to being uncompressed.

If any of the input images have mipmaps and the padding value is greater than zero, the atlas texture is uncompressed. This is because of alignment restrictions on the compressed data. If you have not compressed one or more input textures, the atlas remains in the uncompressed format RGBA32. If the texture atlas remains compressed and has a padding value is greater than zero, the padding value is rounded up to the next multiple of four. This happens because of alignment restrictions on compressed data.

This is a shortlist of compressed formats. You can find the full list in TextureFormat:

  • ETC
  • ETC2
  • EAC
  • DXT
  • ASTC
  • PVRTC

However, the atlas packing code doesn't support every compression format. Of the available formats, the atlas packing code only supports the following: If all other conditions are met, and input textures are using one of these formats, the texture atlas will be compressed.

  • ARGB4444
  • ETC
  • ETC2
  • DXT1
  • DXT5
  • BC7
  • ASTC 4x4

All input textures must have the same compression format or be a mixture of compatible compression formats, otherwise atlas format falls back to uncompressed.

You can mix these types in an atlas, where they stay compressed:

However, if the input textures mix formats, such as BC7 with ASTC 4x4 or DXT5, this causes the atlas packing code to fall back to RGBA32.

If none of the input textures have mipmaps, the atlas also has no mipmaps.

If makeNoLongerReadable is true then the texture will be marked as no longer readable and memory will be freed after uploading to the GPU. By default makeNoLongerReadable is set to false.
