Creating smaller textures out of spritesheet

OpenGL Development
#1

Hi everyone,

I was wondering, is it best to keep one big spritesheet texture and to map the texture accordingly or to create a texture per subimage ?

Thanks

One big spritesheet texture. Less binding.

Is the binding that bad ?

Like anything else, it’s not bad (ie slow) until it’s a problem.

The link convinced me. I wasn’t aware the texture binding was considered as “expensive”.

Thanks a lot to both of you for the replies :slight_smile:
