Recommended way to handle large textures

[dlewis]

How would you recommend I handle large textures with NGUI?

I'm looking at having a background texture for the menu in my game which will most likely run 720p. Should I create one atlas that contains this image and not much else (or anything else)? [I saw a post elsewhere where you recommended textures shouldn't be much more than 1024*1024 which is why I'm questioning it].

Thanks.

No, just use a UITexture to draw it. I do that with the backgrounds for most of the examples in NGUI (the green one).

Is each UITexture draw a plus draw call?

Yup.
