Sprite Creator

With this tool you can create temporary placeholder spriteA 2D graphic objects. If you are used to working in 3D, Sprites are essentially just standard textures but there are special techniques for combining and managing sprite textures for efficiency and convenience during development. More info

(2D) graphics. You can use these in your project during development and then replace them with the graphics you want to use.

Accessing the Sprite Creator

Select Assets > Create > 2D > Sprite and then select the placeholder sprite you want to make (square, circle, capsule, isometric diamond, hexagon flat-top, hexagon pointed-top, 9-sliced).

Using the Sprite

Your new placeholder sprite appears as a white shape in the asset folder you currently have open. The new sprite’s name defaults to its shape name but you have the option to rename your sprite when it is first created. If you are not sure what you want to call it, leave it as the default; you can change it later by clicking on it.

You can drag and drop your placeholder sprite into the SceneA Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. In each Scene, you place your environments, obstacles, and decorations, essentially designing and building your game in pieces. More info

Details

  • The Sprite Creator makes 4x4 white PNG outline textures.
  • The placeholder sprites are perfect primitive polygons (e.g. triangle, hexagon, n-sided polygon), generated by algorithm.
  • NOTE: Placeholder sprites are not like 3D primitives: A sprite is an asset, and as a many-sided polygon, may represent many different shapes, so placeholder sprites are not built like 3D primitives.
