Understanding Sprite & Texture

[longbottomup]

Hi everybody,
I have a nood question, please tell me something: what’s the difference between sprite and texture? What the better choice if I make a app to read comics? Thank you.

Sprite is a section of an image. It is Texture2D + Rect which describes which part of Texture to use.

It all depends on your needs. If you can pack lots of small images into big sprite atlas (Read: Unity - Manual: Sprite Packer), you will get better performance.
