2D Toolkit on the Asset Store
2D Toolkit is a set of tools to provide an efficient 2D sprite, collider set-up and text system which integrates seamlessly into the Unity environment.
Version 1.50 has been submitted to the asset store.
It is available now on the beta site for those with access.
New tutorial video coming soon!

Features:
Sprites
- Fire and forget atlasing system. Set it up once, and it will be automatically regenerated when it needs to be.
- Automatically cut up sprites, eliminates empty space in textures and saves altas area and fill-rate.
- Source sprites from spritesheets, lets you use your existing assets and without changing your workflow.
- Automatically generate multiple atlases when necessary from one Sprite Collection.
- Supports arbitrarily sized sprites.
- Set up anchor points so your sprites rotate at the right points, and to line up animated sprites.
- Supports pixel perfect rendering on orthographic and perspective cameras.
- Efficient batching system for background static sprites. Create combined static sprite meshes seamlessly and efficiently.
- Scale sprites without breaking dynamic batching.
- As much data as possible is precomputed offline, runtime transformations are kept to a minimum.
- User friendly editor, creating and using sprites has never been simpler!
- New! Set up colliders within the interface
- New! Supports automatic and custom box collider set-up
- New! Polygon collider editor - Set up polygon colliders quickly and efficiently
Sprite Animations
- Easily and quickly build large libraries of sprite animations for your projects.
- Supports arbitrarily sized sprites for animation.
- Sprites for animations can be sourced from any number of atlases.
- Easy to use in-game API.
Text
- Use bitmap fonts created in BMFont / Hiero.
- Tint and scale your text meshes without breaking dynamic batching.
- Supports vertical gradients.
