How to use 2d images as characters?

Unity Engine
1

I’m interested in making another 2d platformer. I have tons of experience in photoshop and could easily make my art in it, but I’m not sure how to use it in game. I know I can make it with an orthographic view, but I’m not sure how to make it look 2d with the images I create.

Sorry I’m not doing a great job of explaining, I basically need to make images look 2d in game (like if I make an image of a caroonish block as a character, how would I control it and keep it looking 2d?)

All help is greatly appreciated :roll_eyes:

This kind of thing is done by using simple flat meshes for the separate sprites. You can code this using the Mesh class but there are also existing commercial libraries for Unity that handle sprites simply and efficiently.

Okay thanks, like I said I’m fairly new to this so can you give me a link? Or something to search for to get more information. Sorry I’m not trying to get you to do the work for me I just would like a little more info to work off of :face_with_spiral_eyes:
