2D Animation and PSD Importer package integration
Use the 2D Animation package with the PSD Importer package to easily import character artwork created in Photoshop into Unity, and prepare it for animation with the 2D Animation package. The PSD Importer is an Asset importer that supports Adobe Photoshop .psb files, and generates a Prefab made of Sprites based on the source file and its layers. The generated Prefab of a character or prop to be animated with the 2D Animation package is called an 'actor'.
The .psb file format has identical functions as the more common Adobe .psd format, with additional support for much larger image sizes. Refer to the PSD Importer package documentation for more information about the importer’s features.
