Lost sprite/bone link when updating 'com.unity.2d.animation' and 'com.unity.2d.psdimporter'

Reproduce:

Use the following:

"com.unity.2d.animation": "2.0.0-preview.1",

"com.unity.2d.ik": "1.0.7-preview.1",

"com.unity.2d.psdimporter": "1.0.0-preview.1"

Import a PSB file, add bones and set bone weights/influences.
Make a new prefab out of it
Update to:

"com.unity.2d.animation": "2.1.0-preview.1",

"com.unity.2d.ik": "1.0.8-preview.1",

"com.unity.2d.psdimporter": "1.0.0-preview.2"

Then you'll be faced with a prefab which is rigged but the sprite does not move with the bones. But the original PSB import works just fine.

Good luck with using a half-baked solution, it probably would be better to wait until these alfa/beta tools mature IMO.

Why not just use tried and true methods, and use one of the popular 3rd party solutions instead.

Or do your on 2D/2.5D rigs in 3d software and then import those into Unity.

P.S.
Better to msg some Unity guy with "@" to get their attention.

 

Yes I did. I was trying to harness the PSB import sprite batching, but to no avail. Had to revert back to 2018 or spend weeks to rigging and animating my units.
