Question How can I resize sprites in pixels

Hello and thank you for reading my post!
I'm trying to resize a sprite I have in my scene. As far as I understand it, transform.localScale is not pixels.
I want to resize the sprite's height to match another sprite. Is there any way to do this?
Is there a way I can set new bounds on the SpriteRenderer? When I attach new bounds nothing changes.
Humbly,
Tom L

 

use photshop for that

 

Thank you for your answer. I need to dynamically change the height to multiple other sprites which have different heights. Using Photoshop would only work for some of them. Is there any way to match the heights programmatically?

 

If you want to redo the pixels of a sprite to make the overall sprite a different size, your two choices are:

- Edit time: redo the sprite (as in what Kard suggested above with Photoshop)

- Run time: rescale the sprite with localScale, set a RenderTexture of the appropriate resolution with a Camera aligned to photograph the newly-sized sprite, and then finally re-create the sprite at the new size based on the contents of the RenderTexture

Otherwise just change the .localScale and you can keep the same original pixels and move forward.

 

Thank you @Kurt-Dekker for your informative answer. I had just figured out how to use localScale. I'm not sure I understands why it works the way it does, but it works. I set localScale.y = newHeight / oldHeight and it worked like a charm
