Unity UI best practice for images

[WavyRancheros]

Hi all,

I’m wondering what’s the best approach of providing the images for UI in Unity.
At the moment I’m trying to put everything into a single spritesheet.

Pros:

• the screendesigner can continously update a single file, we don’t have to throw around hundred icons separately

• the automatic grid generation works pretty similar to Photoshop’s, so again less effort for the screendesigner

• if necessary, the 2048x2048 texture can be compressed

Cons:

• merge conflicts

Any input is more than welcome!

Thanks a lot!

The sprite system can combine sprites into atlases for you if you use the atlas tag.
