What's the most effecient way to rotate a texture?
Hello, in my inventory system, you could rotate your items 90 dgs clk/counterclk wise I only care about 90 dgs.
I'm currently doing this by using another texture, a 90-dgs-rotated one because this has to be done fast - but of course, this is on the account of memory and disk storage.
Is there a better way, more efficient but fast way to do the rotation? again 90 dgs is what i care about.
I have read other threads in the forums, but nothing that I found convenient.
Thanks all.
Hmm, I'm using NGUI, if that's what you meant. Be back in a couple of hours.
How did I miss that :D - The thing is, UnityGUI made me blind working on it for a very long time, it hasn't been a while since I migrated to NGUI, since the moment I migrated it's been offering me very simple yet powerful solutions to a lot of problems. I don't know why I haven't thought of rotating the item's icon, thanks for the re$$anonymous$$der :) - $$anonymous$$ove your comment to an answer so I could choose it.
Assuming that NGUI is like EZGUI in that it uses a texture atlas and that NGUI allows you to switch to an alternate "image" in the atlas, then switching to an alternate texture in the atlas is a very efficient way. If not...if you are really swapping whole textures...then it likely more efficient to rotate the NGUI element rather than swapping the texture.
