Sprite.Create and memory
I am working with downloaded textures, and am experimenting with turning UI textures into sprites (with Sprite.Create) in order to reduce render calls.
What I want to know is
does Sprite.Create creates its own copy of the pixel buffer? Can I destroy my Texture2D after I call Sprite.Create?
once you call Sprite.Create, is that sprite permanently in memory, or only so long as it's referenced? Can I remove it from memory if I want to, and how?
Well, I decided to experiment and deter$$anonymous$$ed that no, Sprite.Create does not create duplicate pixels. Destroying the Texture2D after creating the sprite results in a blank sprite being displayed.
