A ________ or Sprite Atlas is a collection of textures that you can slice up for animations or single use.

• A. Texture Array
• B. Sprite Sheet
• C. Normal Map
• D. Ambient Occlusion Map

Answer: (B)

A sprite sheet is a single image that contains multiple frames or sprites you can slice into individual images for animation. In practice, you import the sheet with Sprite Mode set to Multiple and define the slices so the engine can cycle through the frames to animate a character or object. This makes it the right pick for a collection of textures you’ll use for animations or group as a sprite atlas. The other textures serve different purposes: a texture array stacks textures for GPU use and isn’t meant to be sliced into animation frames, while normal maps and ambient occlusion maps are lighting textures used to add depth and shading, not animation frames.
