Okay, so I noticed that it is possible to enable “Streaming Mip Maps” on textures imported as “Default”, but the checkbox goes away if imported as “Sprite”.
Does that mean that it’s not possible to use the texture streaming API together with sprites/sprite animations or is it still working behind the scenes?
Sorry if I missed something in the documentation, but I couldn’t find anything about it.
It’s not currently possible to use the texture streaming API together with sprites/sprite animations
The texture mip streaming system is designed to work on for textures associated with meshes. It calculates desired mips based on a mesh renderer location. As sprites don’t have a mesh renderer they are not supported by the system.
Ah okay, that explains why I couldn’t find anything about it online.
But thanks for the quick reply! I might have to switch to quads and normal textures then.
