Official SpriteShape Preview Package

Please fix this line.

 

I installed package 2D Sprite Shape, but when I went to Sprite Shape Profile I didn't find three types of Profiles: Empty, Strip, and Shape. Three are only two types Open Shape and Close Shape. What should I do to add three types of Profiles: Empty, Strip, and Shape?

 

When using SpriteShape v2.1.0 with Unity 2019.2.0b9 I get tons of errors when installing the package AFTER I installed the LWRP package like this:

Library/PackageCache/com.unity.2d.spriteshape@2.1.0-preview.10/Editor/SpriteShapeControllerEditor.cs(9,23): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Path' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEditor.U2D' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Or this:

Library/PackageCache/com.unity.2d.spriteshape@2.1.0-preview.10/Editor/SpriteShapeControllerEditor.cs(16,50): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'PathComponentEditor<>' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I removed the package and LWRP and then installed SpriteShape again. Worked.
Just letting you know

 

@Venkify Alright, great!

Question:
When working with the SpriteShapeProfile, we can set the Offset of the Fill-Texture. Is there a reason it's an "universal" offset in x AND y? Can't they be seperate?
Also an X/Y-Offset for each Sprite-Variant in a SpriteShapeProfile would be great.
I'd like to offset those sprite-variants in relation to the fill texture since they are positioned below they edge of the fill which let's the edge of the fill look through at some points. I know I can change the pivot point of the sprite but I'd would be more flexibel to have the option with the offsets.

I made a quick video demonstrating how it looks when I set the sprite and how I want to it to look like placing the sprite directly on top:

 

Can you clarify this? You say you can use two different materials for the fill and edges, but isn't that not possible since the spriteshaperenderer only takes 1 mat? Or is it possible in 2019.2 version and not 2019.1 (the one I'm using right now).

 

Has anyone else been getting the issue where corners just don't show up? (Confirmed all points in the SpriteShape are in Linear Point Mode as per the docs). No matter what I can't seem to get them to show up. Any help is appreciated

 

@Venkify So these are the corner sprite import settings

Spoiler: Picture

And they're added to the SpriteShape. (I added the same sprite to all corners just for good measure)

Spoiler: Picture

And these are the 3 adjacent points, all with matching height and linear point mode

Spoiler: Picture

Yet this is the result...

Spoiler: Picture

Is there something I'm missing here? It seems like they should be showing up

 

Is it possible to use 2D shapes together with 2D isometric tilemaps to create curvy pathes?
I have tried but I have no idea how the sprite for the road should look like. Using isometric image leads to this result.

 

I've got some sprite shapes that are printing the error "Dimensions of color surface does not match dimensions of depth surface" to the console every time I select them or enter play mode. There's no stack trace. Any idea what I'm doing wrong, and could you perhaps improve that error message?

 

plz help i used the first version of sprite shape in my game and after updating unity i got some errors about sprite shape and i downloaded the latest version errors disappeared but everything ruined in my game levels, also when i tried the new sprite shape i found that there is 2 options open and closed not like the first version where u have 3 options when i do open sprite shape profile it gives me a closed shape is it a bug ? i mean i can't do the same as i did before with the one called strip from the first version, and how to fix my ruined levels sprites shapes ??
image 1 : ruined strip sprite shape


images 2 : sprite shape option open



result : as u see here the open one has 4 parts is it a bug or just need some configuration ?



image 3 : sprite shape option close (looks like the old one , no problem with it)



result :

 

please help , its hard for me to redo all levels it takes time and effort

 

The reason why I'm pretty sure that it's the sprite shapes is that it instantly disappears the second I remove the sprite shapes from the scene

I'll try to remember to send a bug report once I get back to work on Monday.

 

thank you i sent to you a package of a level look ur inbox , ill wait ur help

 

Spriteshapes are amazing. It's kind of tricky to draw seamless textures for them, but I'm getting used to it.

One short question:
I want to manipulate the position of the splines with the animator. Is there a way to access them? Perhaps they could become visible in a list, like the "polygon collider 2d" shows them?

 

Setting the edge pivot to center fixed the issue. Would this be a bug? I don't see anything in the docs that says you need to have the pivot centered in order to use corners

 

It doesn't work for me. 2019.2.0 / spriteshape preview.11.

ps. Fixed the problem by changing all of sprite's pivot to center. It's a bit complicated.

 

After using it a lot more, I can fully narrow down all my wishes for the tool to just three main ones:

1. Not sure how possible this one is, but if edge mesh generation could be improved at nodes so they don't warp the texture as much when combining its two adjacent edges and make it as seamless as possible for a wider range of angles, this tool would reach another level.

2. An auto-corner generation in linear-point-mode by merging the 2 adjacent edges like it does for continuous-mode except make it bend at a right angle (or whatever angle the two adjacent edges intersect at) would be unbelievable. Dedicated corner sprites just don't work for most types of terrain and environment styles because they're virtually impossible to seamlessly blend with adjacent edge textures as well as the fill texture except for a very very limited amount of environment styles. Not to mention dedicated corner sprites still break way too easily and are overall just unreliable except for a very specific and basic situation. Auto-generated corners would break only at incredibly extreme angles, if even then.

3. A very basic set of automatic curve-generation tools. Think of a Sonic the Hedgehog quarterpipe. There's no easy way to do a perfect quarter or half circle with this tool, and I think a basic set of node tools that instantly calculates and adjusts the selected tangent to become a pixel-perfect curve isn't that unreasonable. Ferr2D manages it and it's incredibly useful. Not only would it be functionally useful, it would streamline the levelmaking process by saving so much time.

Those three things would put this tool on the map as one of if not the most useful 2D game tools in Unity that would help 2D indie developers feel like they aren't limited to pixel art and tilemaps.

 

Can Spriteshape be used to make an animated stream of water , waterfalls , waves etc . Can someone point me in the right direction to go about this ..

 

Is there be an option to use 3d model to extrude along the spline?
Spriteshape is very useful and easy to use, I wonder if I can have this tool to use in my 2.5D game?
I extended it myself to generate 3d mesh but I think it's not optimized and texturing it is another problem of mine.

 

In the attached image, is it possible to have a smooth transition between the Snow and the Rock?

What I would like is for the "Corner" sprites to become active for more "shallow" angles but I do not see where I have any control over that.

That was a major issue we also ran into. We didn't find a way to not have those kinds of gaps in the shape. They make sense when you're creating the kind of outdoors walking path/underground that's shown on the first page, but not when you're creating something that needs to be connected (like walls).

 

Hello.
I recently started using this tool and I want to thank you for developing it, it's been very helpful!
However, I'm confused about the change in behaviour of edge colliders.
In version 1.0.12 if you added an edge collider and set some offset, it created a spline with width.

Image taken from MAKE ORGANIC LEVELS!! Unity Sprite Shape - Brakeys.
But in 2.1.0 edge colliders just generate a spline without any width.

Adding a polygon collider created a shape which closed the hole in the middle.

Is there any way to reproduce the old behaviour?

 

Ive just started using Sprite Shape is there any way to have sharp corners with a continuous spline, currently when I click the edit spline button in the inspector I get three options linear, continuous and broken, linear and broken have two separate edges which overlap which is not the look I want, continuous is closest but both sides of the control point are curved, I want both sides of the control point to be straight lines say 0 degrees one side 45 degrees the other, with a sharp corner / bevel between the two, is this possible ?

 

One unfortunate caveat to this though is the corner sprite will only show up if the angle is greater than some value... around 45 degrees or so. Less than that and the corner sprite won't show. Deal breaker for my stuff. Posted about it above somewhere.

 

Moving this from the SpriteShape 3.0.4 thread because this thread seems more active...

Kind of an odd question here.

Below is a view of a SpriteShape with only a single white fill texture set in the SpriteShapeProfile.

I noticed, when editing a SpriteShape (top image is editor view), the sides become very smooth and anti-aliased.

However, when rendering in the camera view, or when not actively editing the sprite shape, the jaggies come back (bottom image)

I assume some sort of anti-aliasing/blurring is happening when editing and my question is whether or not it's possible to do something like that when rendering "for real" in the camera view? Are there some API or Shader tricks I could use?

I know I can set the MSAA level in my quality settings, but I'd prefer not to have to bump that up just to get smooth edges..

Thanks.

 

Is there any chance of having an extra spline edit option which allows continuous spines with straight edges with sharp or subtly curved corners ? The game Im currently doing has a very Mario esque style, so straight but connecting edges are a must for me, and I can see many other styles of game which would benefit from this

 

When I change the height with Edit Spline mode, it doesn't consider my sprite's border.
Is it intended?

 

Hi Venkify! So my SpriteShapeController won't render the SpriteShape if the Camera is not looking at it. It means that inside SpriteShapeController, OnWillRenderObject is not triggered.

I have tried to use BakeMesh() but it does nothing. I tried calling every public method inside of it, nothing works.

I need it because my racing tracks get built with the preloader in front of it and the camera focused somewhere else, and the race tracks (spriteshapecontrolers) are 100% not in the camera view.

Can you please instruct me what internal methods I need to trigger to force a draw? I tried making a custom method inside SpriteShapeController but I get a lot of nativearray exceptions thrown :/

 

Speaking of the mesh being baked at runtime, is there a way to pre-bake the mesh data before the scene starts so there's little runtime loading to do? Or wait, actually I guess it'd be the same as just baking the mesh on Awake for each shape, I think. So nevermind unless I'm wrong.

 

That is now available with Anima2D and Unity's own 2D animation system,.

 

The method you describe needs to be INSIDE the original SpriteShapeController. I can't copy and use the internals of SpriteShapeController because it's internal methods require SpriteShapeController 's type.
