Dynamic Atlas

Cocos Creator provides Dynamic Atlas, which dynamically merges the textures into one large texture at project runtime. When a map is rendered, the Dynamic Atlas system automatically detects if the map has been merged into an atlas (collection of images). If not, the system merges the texture into the atlas if it meets the conditions for dynamic atlas.

Dynamic atlas selects which textures are merged into a larger image in rendering order, which ensures that adjacent DrawCalls are merged into a single DrawCall (aka “batching”).

If you want to force dynamic atlas to be enabled, please add the following code to your code:

Texture Restrictions

The dynamic atlas system limits the size of the texture that can be merged. By default, only textures with a width and height less than 512 can be entered into the dynamic atlas system. This limit can be modified by the developer as required with the following code.
