I’ve been trying to find a way to animate a sprite together with a normal map matched up to each frame, but as far as I can tell, this doesn’t seem to be a part of Unity’s standard workflow? Coming from Godot - where this is as trivial as plugging in your regular sprite sheet, then your matching sprite sheet of normal maps right under it and bam… it just works - it seems strange to me that I can’t find anything roughly equivalent in Unity. It seems like a feature animators would be keen to have rather than implementing shaders for just edge lighting or something similar. Is there a package I’m not aware of somewhere that helps with this?
I have seen tutorials on how to use a normal map with static images, but no dice for sprite sheets. I’m not sure if my google-fu is failing me, or if it’s just not something typically done here. Though I’ve hacked around in Unity a bit here and there, I don’t have much real experience with what Unity has to offer. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated as this is something very important to the project I have in mind.
