Atlas packing: High Wastage

[Syntinel]

Hey,

So I am having a problem with High wastage on most of my atlas's. Here's one example:

81% wastage Image 1
(quality not the issue this image has is low-res)


The textures Included are of size:

• 1x   512x64px
• 2x   256x64px
• 2x   128x64px

Here are the Settings:

Inside Atlas Settings: I have not selected to force atlas size.

%Wasted is around 81%  (this is my worst case atlas but most seem to be over 30%)

Any suggestions on how to deal with this, or tips for keeping the wastage low? I have read most all the forum posts on the topic but could not come across a solution. Thanks for your time!

This is because the 512x64 image, when padded out vertically will not fit in a 512x512 image. It doesn't need to be padded when it touches the edge, and this will be fixed in the next release. For now, a quick workaround, seeing that your images are static images - use sprite dicing on the tall thin one, set the dice size to 64x64 or something like that, and it'll fit in am much smaller texture overall.

Excellent, Thanks Unikron. This dropped it down to a 512x512 which is much more manageable. Loving the product so far, keep up the good work!
