Aseprite Features

This page highlights which Aseprite feature the Aseprite Importer supports/does not support.

Supported features

File formats

• .ase & .aseprite
• Color modes (All modes are supported)
  • RGBA
  • Grayscale
  • Indexed

Layer settings

• Visible/Hidden layer
  • Hidden layers are not imported by default. This can be changed by checking “Include hidden layers” in the import settings.
• Layer blend modes
  • All blend modes are supported with Import Mode: Merge frames.
• Layer & Cell opacity
• Linked Cells
• Tags
  • Only Animation Direction: Forward is supported.
  • Values set in the repeating field only have two results on import:
    • ∞ will result in a looping Animation Clip. This value is the default for all Tags in Aseprite.
    • 1 -> N will result in a non looping Animation Clip.
• Individual frame timings
• Layer groups
  • The importer respects the visibility mode selected for the group. If a group is hidden, underlying layers will not be imported by default.
  • Layer groups will be generated in the prefab hierarchy if the import mode is set to Individual layers.
• User data
  • The user data field in Cells can be used to inject events to a generated Animation Clip. Read more here.

Misc

• Tilemaps
  • When importing tile data, select Import Mode: Tile Set. This will tell Unity to generate Tile assets for each Aseprite Tile, and a Tile Palette to store them all in.

Unsupported features

• Slices
