Sprite.Create - bug in 4.6.3p3?

I have Sprite.Create code that had been working just fine and recently upgraded to 4.6.3p3 and now getting an error message.

myTexture is a texture of size 512x512

code is:
Texture myTexture = (Texture2D)Resources.Load ("paper512x512",typeof(Texture2D));
myTexture.wrapMode = TextureWrapMode.Repeat;
Sprite mySprite = Sprite.Create(myTexture, newRect(0,0,1024,1024), newVector2(0.5f,0.5f));

Error is:
ArgumentException: Could not create sprite (0.000000, 0.000000, 1024.000000, 1024.000000) from a 512x512 texture.
UnityEngine.Sprite.Create (UnityEngine.Texture2D texture, Rect rect, Vector2 pivot)

Any ideas? Is there something special I may have accidentally set to cause it to no longer tile properly?

 

Did you ( or anyone else) find the solution to this issue? I just encountered the same error with ver 4.6.4f1. Earlier the sprite used to display !hasError message but the image was displayed. But now it shows the ArgumentException and the image does not load at all.

 

I am getting this error in 5.1f as well. Ideas?

 

Same here...

 

Has there been any solution for this issue?

 

I solved this issue in my case.

error code:
Sprite.Create(tex2D,newRect(0,0,Screen.width,Screen.height),newVector2(0,0));

solved code:
Sprite.Create(tex2D,newRect(0,0,texture2D.width,texture2D.height),newVector2(0,0));

 

EDIT: There may be a work-around for this (not fully tested yet).

When creating your sprites, scale the UV rect down by a power of 2 (say, 256.0f), scale down the 'pixels per unit' by the same amount, and then write a custom vertex shader that multiplies the UVs back up again. This will give you your tiling (which literally every hardware since the nineties can do just fine) without falling foul of Unity's nannying.

 

Same error, when trying to create big sprite from small texture..

 

Same Here, but then I just resized my texture to 640 x480 and it worked

 

Hello from 2022.
How I can create a sprite with different sprite.rect and sprite.textureRect sizes?

 

Nice. Please don't necro old threads. It's actually against forum rules, which you can see posted as the first post in this forum.

Google is going to be your go-to for simple stuff like creating sprites and setting rects. If you have any other issues, START A NEW THREAD.
