Aseprite

An Aseprite importer for Unity3D. View On GitHub 🎨📤

Aseprite is an animated sprite editor and pixel art tool. This package supports taking Aseprite files (.ase, .aseprite) and importing them into Unity. Most importantly, it preserves layers - importing them individually rather than as a single combined frame. This allows for further customization inside the engine. The importer will also import animations (including frame timings) as both individual animations, and "combined" animations designed to be applied to a top-level Game Object that mirrors the structure of Aseprite layers. If desired, such a Game Object can also be generated during import.

Installing

This package supports openupm - you can install it using the following command:

openupm add com.faster-games.aseprite
