I have drawn a “sprite” (a stickman) on a 1 pixel scale in krita and then exported it to unity, however this “sprite” is awfully blurry, how to fix? The sprite is also very very small in unity, any way to fix this?
Maybe use point filtering?
im new to game dev, can you explain?
Hey! So one way of making your sprites look better when you are importing them is to make sure that (with your imported sprite selected), in the Inspector select the Filter Mode to Point (no filter) and the Compression to None and hit Apply. These alone should do the trick.
Does this have to be in the importing process?
I have made animations so I dont want to have to do those again lmao
You can adjust your sprites whenever you like, and everything will be updated if I remember correctly. Make sure you adjust your sprite size as well. For example, if your sprite is 16x16 px, in the inspector, your Pixel Per Unit input should be 16 or whatever value you desire - this will impact the size of your image in your scenes.
You can read more on sprites here as well (link). I’m pretty sure there are tons of materials / YouTube videos explaining Unity sprites.
To apply the same settings to a number of assets, eg all .png files in a given folder, you can use Presets to define the settings and Preset Manager to have that preset applied to the files matching a filter.
Note that you should also set the texture format to Uncompressed
. By default it’s set to High Quality
which will cause a noticable decrease in quality / altered pixels for pixel art graphics.
could you tell me how to get to this point? as i said, im quite new and i cant navigate around unity very well.
You can just follow this short video - basically, it explains and shows everything that you need to fix your sprite. → video
You can neatly embed videos, just paste the Youtube URL verbatim …
I had to double check because that comment seemed like a spam comment ie vaguely offering a solution to a broad problem followed by a link.
Thanks, I will do that next time!
Thankyou! This was very usefull
