PSD Importer?

I was watching this Unity sponsored Brackeys tutorial -

He uses an amazing PSDimporter package that isn't available in any beta I've downloaded. (And I've tried them all). I've looked everywhere, but I can't find it available anywhere.

Was this removed from the current beta downloads?

Is there anywhere I could get it?

I've looked and looked and am finally posting here because I'm am super excited about this. It would increase my workflow tremendously!

 

Oh. Perhaps this is all part of Phase 2, and the video creator somehow got access to packages not yet available to the public. There are various things he does in that video, that don't seem to work even in the Beta. I guess I'll wait!

 

Seems like the PSD package (com.unity.2d.psdimporter) is only available in the staging repository.
https://bintray.com/unity/unity-staging/com.unity.2d.psdimporter

 

I can't seem to find the psd package via package manager. Do i need to install unity 2018.3? I'm currently using 2018.2.5f1. Thanks

 

It doesn't seem to be working in 2018.3.1f1

Getting errors after adding the package

ERROR
Library/PackageCache/com.unity.2d.psdimporter@1.0.0-preview.1/Editor/PSDImporter.cs(18,77): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `IAnimationAssetPostProcess' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

UPDATE

Errors have gone after updating the 2D Animation package.

 

Im using Unity 2018.3.1 but cant import PSD. Also in "import settings" is no checkboxes like "character rig". This features not available for linux yet? I using Ubuntu 18.04.1. Tryed to use 2019 beta, same issue.

@NikonPod
You're probably trying to, logically, import a PSD file. If you save as a PSB (the photoshop large document format) you should get the options you're looking for. If you're saving from something that doesn't support PSB you can just rename your PSD to PSB.

 

@LOGames Oh thanks a lot!!! Its works.

 

Unity 2018.3.1: After the update [1.0.0-preview.2] 2019-01-25, the Character Rig broke on all 2D characters in prefabs. Windows 7 is installed. On Windows 10, everything is fine.

 

Hi !

-Getting these errors just after installing last version PSD Importer:

D:/AllUnity/!_Projects_u2018.3/PlayGround_tests02/Library/PackageCache/com.unity.2d.psdimporter@1.0.0-preview.2/Editor/PSDPlugin/PsdFile/Layers/Layer.cs(190,25): error CS1738: Named arguments must appear after the positional arguments

P.S. I'm found a similar case described in another topic:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/2d-animation-preview-packages.521778/page-4#post-4175242

P.P.S. After installing PSD Importer in new empty project - everything is ok, but in other cases:

 

i Have some problem use UNITY 2018.3.4f1 , i just download ver preview 1 and all error gone. work test import psb file

 

I'm in Unity 208.3.1 and I don't see any of the 2D packages. I'm specially looking for the PSD importer. Suggestions?

 

How buggy is the new psd importer package?

 

Have you tried clicking "Advanced"?

 

I have also received the "error CS1738: Named arguments must appear after the positional arguments" error when trying to import PSB file. Unity 2018.3.5f1, PSD importer 1.0.0.0 preview 2. Creating new project seem to have fixed this. But obviously something is broken.

 

Hi! was loving the psd (psb) importer! but after updating all my 2d characters are broken and getting the same error messages as others are reporting above! it looks as tho all the bones are no longer associated with their respective sprites and meshes... weird thing is that i dont see the sprite editor option anymore! just a very detailed and complex inspector (which by the way actually looks really cool like we will have lots of fine tuning options) but i cant figure out how to re associate all my bones with the sprites.... i did a dumb thing and didnt name them all very descriptively... since i was working visually and thinking i would rename them later...

any word on what im missing or doing wrong to get back the psd sprite editor would help me immensely so i can repair the bone/sprite association and also ill post the errors here too just to emphasize the common issue i and the others seem to be facing.
if just showing the error here isnt enough info to help fix let me know what else i should post or report.

Hi
I use the psb importer with animation 2d and it works great.
I only have a problem.
I have set it in 2048 but it makes an atlas of 2048x4096.
This results in the quality to be 1024 and not good.
So if I want quality of 2048 I have to switch to 4096 max texture size. Its weird.

If you are confused, I want to say that my psb would fit in an atlas of 2048x2048 (since I have set it in 2048 max textures) but it doesnt do it like this, it makes an atlas of 2048x4096. There is nothing in my psb that doesnt fit in 2048 either vertical of horizontal.

 

What is your email?

 

Exactly! Thank You for this solution!

 

worked!

worked! thank you!

 

This importer has the potential to hugely speed up my workflow! I was wondering if there's a way to import the sprites without the layers' alpha being cropped out. I need my sprites to all be the same size so their pivots line up. Alternatively, is there a way to have them cropped but have the pivot for each sprite placed at the psd's center?

Thanks!

 

I have a very annoying bug. I have imported more than 40 PSBs.
After updating to 2018.3.7 I have a very annoying bug:
Every time I lose focus of Unity Window in Windows 10 64 bit and I regain focus (eg to use a calculator) it re imports No6.
After it completes it loses focus and then each time I click Unity window it re-imports again stuck in an endless loop. I have to shut down unity to fix it. Then it lets me work for a while and then does the same. I tried re-importing this asset with no difference. This is really annoying.

 

Tried version 2018.3.8f1 with all the latest package manager updates but still it stucks in re-importing the PSB forever.

 

I found the cause of the bug:
I had a photoshop layer named "horse" and then in the bones I named one bone "horse" resulting that the PSB had 2 objects with the same name "horse". This caused the reimporing loop forever even if you rename one of those in the Hierarchy. It fixes only if you go and rename the bone. Please verify.

 

Hi Leo.
Thank you for providing great features.
But I am facing a big problem.

Files with large images and multiple layers can not be imported into Unity.

So I changed the approach.
The method was to convert PSDimporter and output all layers as a single texture. As a result, I was able to read the file, but a new problem occurred.

When you open SpriteEditor, there is no file containing multiple textures, so only one image is displayed and SpriteEditor's window is broken. I want to borrow my wisdom because I am wondering how to make the change.

 

Now when I started Unity I got many of these errors:

AssetImporter is referencing an asset from the previous import. This should not happen.

And this info at the end:

A default asset was created for 'Assets/Media/Graphics/PSB/new_style30.psb' because the asset importer crashed on it last time.
You can select the asset and use the 'Assets -> Reimport' menu command to try importing it again, or you can replace the asset and it will auto import again.

 

I re-imported correctly and I got these info:
Identifier uniqueness violation: 'number_GO/number_GO/lion'. Scripted Importers do not guarantee that subsequent imports of this asset will properly re-link to these targets.
Identifier uniqueness violation: 'number_GO/number_GO/lion/Transform'. Scripted Importers do not guarantee that subsequent imports of this asset will properly re-link to these targets.

I dont know what it means.

 

Maybe it has to do with my previously reported bug.

 

Both latest.

 

I'm having this issue too. On MacbookPro w/ Unity 2018.3.3f1. I tried the package installing preview-1, 2, and 3 - all had errors. Feel free to DM me @Leo-Yaik if you want me to test any updates.

 

Hi,
I have found some serious bugs in PSD importer:

1) If you re-import a PSB (right click on it and reimport) then it losses the prefab connection in the scene and makes it impossible to reconnect it. This is serious because it makes all your work done in the scene done.
Try this bug:
a) make a PSB. Work on it and make the bones.
b) drag the PSB in the scene and work on it. Rename, make IK, animate etc.
c) go in the PSB and re-import the PSB (right click on it and reimport). See that the prefab in the scene is gone forever.

2) Same thing happens if someone changes the settings of the PSB (to override platform settings for Android etc) and then apply the changes. The prefab connection is gone again.

3) Same thing happens if you delete the Library folder. All PSB prefab connections are lost again.

These bugs dont let me build for another platform than I initially build the app for and this is the reason its very serious for me.
Please tell me a workaround or if you have trouble trying this.
thanks

 

When I right click on an imported PSB in my scene I get this error:

I cannot reimport the PSB because I will lose my prefab connection and all the work done.
I cannot change the PSB platform settings to Android ETC2 8bit compression because when I apply the changes I lose the prefab connection forever.
I get these errors in Android: "D/Unity: WARNING: RGBA Compressed DXT5 UNorm format is not supported, decompressing texture" and it crashes with low memory with this "E/lowmemorykiller: Error opening /proc/3322/oom_score_adj; errno=2". So there are no more moves to make until you fix some of these.
Its GAME OVER for me.

 

Any feedback?

 

Should also add compression for platform Nintendo Switch.

 

Compression does not work all the times.
I have some PDBs that in Windows compression normal it does the DXT5 as it supposed to do and some others it does them 32bit.

 

I am using Unity 2019.1.0 and PSD importer 1.1.0 (the latest one), however, when I save my file in photoshop as PSB, I can't import it in unity, the inspector show nothing, and the file have the photoshop icon. any idea?

 

No there was no error, however, it worked again and I don't know why, but sometimes I lose the plug-in's editor in the inspector, I reload unity again, and it works again, sometimes I need to remove the package and install it again to make it workable. and I did not notice any error in the console window.

 

Wasn't it in the description??
