    As somebody who's not used the 2D functionality until now... does the sprite packer discard mip maps, or am I just doing something wrong?

    I've specifically enabled mip maps on in the texture import settings (Texture type: Advanced, Generate Mip Maps on, Filter mode: Trilinear), my test sprites (on a UI image) are definitely mipmapped and clean-looking in edit mode, but when I press play, the mip maps seem to disappear, and my downscaled sprite looks very rough?

    I haven't personally tried this yet, but I seem to recall that you could write a custom SpritePackerPolicy that enables mipmaps. Let me know if it works. :)

    Beta 20 will have some improvements for handling of mip maps for sprites. Untill then, a custom packer policy could do the job, as mh114 mentions.
