Multiple Sprites from a single imported Texture

This sample shows a rigged actor that is made out of multiple Sprites. The Sprites are derived from a single imported Texture, which was imported with its Texture Type set to Sprite (2D and UI) and Sprite Mode set to Multiple.

Open the Asset Assets/Samples/2D Animation/[X.Y.Z]/Samples/3 Multiple Skinned Sprites/Sprites/Rikr.png in the Skinning Editor module to examine how the Sprite is rigged.

The _Multiple Skinned Sprites sample Scene shows how the Asset is used in a Scene when it is animated with animation that deforms its Sprite mesh.

Follow the steps below to reconstruct the _Multiple Skinned Sprites Sprite sample Scene:

1. Create an empty GameObject, and add the Sprite Renderer to it. Assign one of the Sprites of Rikr to the component's Sprite property.
   
2. Add the Sprite Skin component to the GameObject, and go to the component's Inspector window. Select Create Bones to create GameObject Transforms which represent the bones of this Sprite.
   
   
3. Repeat steps 1 to 2 for each Sprite in the Rikr Asset. Go to the Skinning Editor, and create and rig the bones of the actor as shown in the fully constructed example.
   
4. Arrange the GameObjects created in steps 1-2 so that they form the actor in its neutral position. To control the Sprite drawing order (which determines which Sprites appear above the others), go to each GameObject's Sprite Renderer and adjust the value of its Order In Layer property.
   
   Bones created in the Skinning Editor but the GameObjects are clumped together in the Scene view.
   
   The GameObjects rearranged to mimic the original actor.
   
5. Create another GameObject at the root of all the GameObjects, and call it 'Rikr_Root'. Reparent the 'Rikr_Body' GameObject to the 'Rikr_Root' as its child.
   
6. Add the Animator component to the 'Rikr_Root' GameObject. Locate the Rikir Animator Controller Asset in Assets/Samples/2D Animation/[X.Y.Z]/Samples/3 Multiple Skinned Sprites/Animation/Animator/Rikr and assign this Asset to the Animator’s Controller property.
