In this tutorial by Vertex Arcade, discover how to use a texture atlas in Blender to create entire scenes, characters, and props with just one tiny texture. This method simplifies UV mapping and keeps projects lightweight.

Key Steps:

• Create or download a texture atlas (e.g., from lowspec.com).
• Load the atlas into Blender and set interpolation to closest for crisp edges.
• Collapse UVs into a single point and assign colors by moving UVs across the atlas.
• Add details by insetting, cutting, or adjusting UVs for gradients and shading.
• Experiment with color schemes by sliding UVs or using gradient-based atlases.

A practical way to streamline texturing while maintaining flexibility.
