can i bring 2d files into unity?

i want to build my game in Maya but bring the characters in 2d files. can i do that?

Output your flash animations as a series of PNGs, place them on a sprite sheet and use any of the Offset scroller scripts out there.

Sprite sheet scripts:

Texture switching script:

You'll also probably need to billboard your textured planes:

Of course, combining 3D with (probably not so great)2D characters and animations will almost always end-up looking awkward (unless it's a side-scroller type of game).

It's either this or getting good enough at Modeling/ unwrapping/ texturing / hiring someone else for your characters.

how do i delete this post. it didn't make sense.. very sorry for this.
