It’s still not tested all that much, so I haven’t added it to the official Unity pack yet, but it has worked in my use case and will hopefully work in yours (if not, let me know).
#EXTRACT SPRITE SHEETS TEXTUREPACKER GAMEMAKER STUDIO HOW TO#
How to get around this? Well, essentially, I’ve written this script. This will look somewhere between pretty broken and horribly broken, depending on whether or not the walk and run sheets have similar layouts. The animation system switches the diffuse texture to RunSheet, but the normal and emissive channels keep the Walk versions. Then they break into a run though, and we’re screwed. WalkSheet, WalkSheet_Normal, WalkSheet_Emissive, RunSheet, RunSheet_Normal, and RunSheet_Emissive. Your character starts walking around fine, with WalkSheet, WalkSheet_Normal, and WalkSheet_Emissive applied – all is well. Suppose instead though, you are using Sprite Lamp, so you have six textures. Ordinarily, when your character is walking around, Unity will be switching between sprites in one sheet, and thus changing the UVs – but when your character switches to running, Unity has to switch to the RunSheet texture, which it does automatically. If you’re making a normal 2D game without lighting, you might have two textures: WalkSheet, and RunSheet. The issue is that Unity’s animation controller automatically switches textures as necessary, but it only provides for switching the main texture, because usually you only have one texture when you’re doing this kind of animation. By way of example, say you have a character who can walk or run. The reason this works smoothly is because if you have one big sprite sheet, all the animation system is changing is the UVs on the sprite, and because the Sprite Lamp shader doesn’t do anything fancy with UVs, it’ll just look up into each sheet in the same spot. Then, apply a Sprite Lamp (or other) material to your game object, drag the normal map sprite sheet into the NormalDepth slot, and everything should be fine.
You don’t need to cut this up into sprites in Unity after you’ve imported it. Then, you’ll want to create a corresponding normal map sprite sheet with Sprite Lamp (either using whatever texture packer tool you want, though be wary of rotating normal maps, or by drawing the lighting profiles in sprite sheet positions then processing them all at once). Someone in this situation who wants to use Sprite Lamp is in a pretty easy situation in terms of programming – essentially, everything just works easily. You’ll want to make a sprite sheet of the diffuse channel, cut it up with Unity’s sprite editor, create animations, and apply them to a game object with an animation controller. This is, I suspect, reasonably common – especially with people working with pixel art, and textures going up to 4096×4096. The simple situation for frame animation in Unity is one big sprite sheet. Oh and before I go on, a quick annoying reminder that Sprite Lamp is at 30% off on Steam as I write this! Animations with a single sprite sheet Here’s the script referenced in this post. Hopefully now that I’ve played with it a bit more directly, I can do better. A few people asked me about this already but I didn’t quite have my head in the game enough to give good answers. * is there a way to automatically get ASD to export images for a particular animation (e.g.So I mentioned yesterday that I’ve been working on a small tech demo in Unity, to help make sure I notice all the difficulties that can come up with Sprite Lamp, and the first one that has presented itself is the issue of animating with multiple (sets of) sprite sheets. * can ASD (Anime Studio Debut) export a set of animations to sprite sheets?

Had a quick search/find through the manual and nothing jumped out. Would love some advice/tips/links to tutorials on how to use Anime Studio Debut to create 2D sprites (/sprite sheets) for use in 2D game development (e.g.
