Important

Unity Muse will be retired on October 1, 2025. It is being replaced by Unity AI, available in Unity 6.2 and later. For the latest tools and documentation, refer to the Unity AI documentation.

Write a prompt

The Muse Sprite Generator tool generates sprites. A sprite is a 2D image that you can use as a 2D element in a game, such as a dog or a tree in your game.

To generate sprites, you write a prompt that describes the sprite you want to generate. Consider the tips and best practices described on this page when you write the prompt.

Use keywords rather than sentences

To describe the sprite you want to generate, use keywords instead of sentences. For example, use dog instead of generate a dog sprite.

To ensure the separation of concepts, enter multiple keywords separated by commas.

Start simple and refine

Begin with a relatively simple prompt, like an object. You can then add some adjectives to explore different aspects of the generation. Here are a few ideas to initiate your process:

A dog
A cute dog
A cute blue dog

To add more to the results, try refinement.

Include "full body" to generate full animals

To generate the full animal instead of just the head, include full body in the prompt.

Exclude elements from the generated sprites

To exclude specific elements from generated sprites, in the Negative Prompt, enter keywords that describe the elements to exclude. To ensure the separation of concepts, enter multiple keywords separated by commas.
