Sprite Help Please

Hi


I have a 32x32 Sprite ( nothing much )

Could someone point to a tutorial or explain what the pixels to units does ??
Please see the following image of the Sprite details in the inspector panel arrowed in red.

Thanks

 

If you set it to 1, then 1 pixel is size of 1 world unit.

"The number of pixels of width/height in the sprite image that will correspond to one distance unit in world space."

Thanks mgear

So with my 32x32 Sprite, if I change pixels to units to 32 then my pixel will occupy 1 unity world unit, correct ??

Now if this is correct does it effect what Sprite looks in the game view ??, ie will it appear stretched ??

Thanks

 

Yes, it will appear streched, the less pixel to units you put the bigger it will be.

 

Thanks Jc-drile77

So is there a good tutorial on how to use this feature so that it doesn't appear stretched on the game screen ??

 

100 pixel to units is the standard value, but sometimes you want some tiny sprites to be bigger withour modifying their gameObject´s transform in a scene, thats what it´s for.
For instance if you set it to 25 is the same as having the gameobject (with the Sprite Renderer component) transform.scale set to (4,4,1).
The way I see it is just about saving time and being able to fit a sprite to a game without having to resize it in external tools (that can make the sprite lose quality).
Edit: Oh, and if you change it´s Pixel to Units every instance of that sprite will be changed too (is like resizing it without having to increase its size)
