bumping up maximum atlas size?

[Alan Gray]

Since some iOS devices support 4096x4096 textures (iPad2 >= iOS 5.1, iPad3), can we get a 4Kx4K atlas option? Every post I've seen asking about this, the poster gets beat up for having such bloated textures. But we have client requirements to have everything pixel-perfect on a very elaborate UI. And we are using atlas swapping so moving the biggest textures out of the atlas isn't really an option. Our highest-res atlas (which we are using just for iPad3) overflows the 2Kx2K limit pretty quickly.

Anyway, since the hardware supports it, can we get the maximum atlas size bumped up to 4096x4096???

This is a Unity limitation, not an NGUI limitation.

Use Texture Packer

I'm using it and it works with NGUI perfectly...

Generally creating atlases while the platform target is something other than mobile works fine as well.
