In a nutshell, Sprites are easy to work with in Unity, thanks to a great 2D workflow and built-in editor. However, Unity has special techniques for combining and managing these sprite textures to get super efficient performance in your games, as well as a convenient development experience. They are essentially standard textures you would usually use for 3D objects.
This option has already been set in the starter project for you.Īt a high level, Sprites are simply just 2D Graphic objects. You can choose 2D or 3D mode when you create a project from scratch. Note: 2D games in Unity - quite logically - use the 2D mode of the Unity Editor.
