I am trying to figure out if it is worth it to use Texture Atlases for skinned mesh characters for a mobile game.
I have 1 Zombie model with 4-6 different textures. I would have a mob of Zombies that could include all 4-6 texture variations on the same model.
Assuming I just have 4 textures, Is it worth it to build a single 1024x1024 texture atlas containing all 4 textures, then shift UVs to change appearance...Or should I just use 4 separate textures at a smaller size like 256x256?
Right now I don't feel the atlas approach is going to buy me much, but just wanted to get some feedback.
