We have released 2 new preview packages for 2D features! Head over to the 2D Experimental Forum or follow these links :

The first phase of 2D animation.

2D Animation Preview Packages

[3424172--270313--2DAnimation.gif] We’ve been hinting at it for a while but now it’s time to share: We’re working on 2D animation. First of all, a few important points: This is NOT an integration of Anima2D into Unity. We will be releasing it in multiple phases. Phase 1 of this work is now available as a preview package. Phase 1: This phase was focused on developing tooling for rigging a sprite for skeletal animation. The tools developed in this phase include: Bind-pose editing, manual …

SpriteShape, our spline-based world-building tool.

SpriteShape Preview Package

[3431073--271057--SpriteShapePreview.gif] We’re happy to share that SpriteShape is now available for preview. SpriteShape is a sprite layout or world building tool that provides the ability to tile sprites along the path of a shape based on given angle ranges. Additionally the shape can be filled with a tiling texture. The main feature of the SpriteShape is the powerful combination of a bezier spline path with the ability to tile Sprites adaptively or continuously while automatically switchi…

Vector Graphics, with an SVG importer and runtime APIs to build vector graphics elements

Vector Graphics Preview Package

[3484511--277265--SVGPreview.gif] We are finally ready to give you a preview release of the vector graphics package. It provides an SVG importer as well as runtime APIs to build vector graphics elements. This is phase one of the Vector Graphics package. We want your feedback in order to add the features that are important to you in subsequent phases. Here’s some additional information: The SVG importer generates triangulated sprites. As a consequence, the size of the imported asset is direc…

Thank you!

Looks so nice! I always loved user made games. I’ll download unity soon. I’m interested

I’m seeing an issue where the vertices aren’t showing in any of the sprite mesh editor modes. Not sure if its a bug or something I’m doing wrong! Any ideas?

[felipebarros2010]

Hello!

My animation 2D packaged seens very different. I dont have the Bone Influence option and Geometry And Weight Editor tab. I’m doing something wrong?

2D Animation 2.2.0-preview.4 for 2019.2 is now available!

• The sprite swapping workflow has been improved by making Sprite Resolvers more robust for animation by replacing indices with labels.
• In the Skinning Editor, bone association now picks up the nearest bone when no bones are overlapping the Sprite.

Important Note:
Because we redesigned the way we implement Sprite Library, previous assets and components will not work. Please use the new APIs and redo your Sprite Swap setup.

See the full post here in the 2D Preview forums: 2D Animation 2.2.0-preview.4 for 2019.2 is out

PSDImporter 1.2.0 for 2019.2 is out!

This is a small update that ensures that the PSD Importer package depends on the latest 2D Animation package.

[rustum]

The adds a back-port that ensures that the SpriteShape object generates geometry even if not visible in the Camera.
