any tutorials on how you created your sprites?

Code Monkey

I draw them in Photoshop, nothing special in terms of technique, I just use the normal brush, not much of an artist.

saif. iu

sir can you please make some tutorials on animation , how to animate for kick punch and combo effects.
please sir make some tutorial on this. It will be very helpful for our community.

Great content but the source code seems to be broken on Unity versions newer than 2018.01

Code Monkey

Broken how?

adamodimattia

@Code Monkey It's the problem that I've had also in the package for CameraFollow series of yours. It seems that at the origin is failed instantiation of unitSkeleton = new V_UnitSkeleton () (line 31 and 44 in CharacterSwordHandler) so it throws FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. It may be only on my machine since I'm using a Mac. It is followed by other errors but that one is at the origin I think. FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
System.Number.ParseSingle (System.String value, System.Globalization.NumberStyles options, System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo numfmt) (at <1f0c1ef1ad524c38bbc5536809c46b48>:0)
System.Single.Parse (System.String s, System.Globalization.NumberStyles style, System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo info) (at <1f0c1ef1ad524c38bbc5536809c46b48>:0)
System.Single.Parse (System.String s) (at <1f0c1ef1ad524c38bbc5536809c46b48>:0)

Code Monkey

Open V_Animation.cs and in Init(); add these lines

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");


That's caused because of regionalization, some countries represent decimals with "." others with ","

adamodimattia

@Code Monkey Thank you so much, I will see to that!

Orange Gaming

When i add the pfimpactEffect and run the game it says that "the variable pfImpactEffect has nit been assugned" and doeant do the effects helo please

Code Monkey

You need to drag the reference of the prefab onto the field in the editor.

Orange Gaming

@Code Monkey thank you so much and if you can please answer my question in the second video it would be great thanks for your time

Orange Gaming

Can you please help me when i click play game the character doesnt load i only see his hands but the screen i cant make up what it is its in all colours can you help me make the character.

Code Monkey

Open up the V_Animation.cs file and add these lines to the beginning of the Init(); function

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");

Orange Gaming

Ill try it now thank you for helping

Orange Gaming

@Code Monkey i'll try it now thank you for helping

Orange Gaming

@Code Monkey should i put the v animation file on the in the body(game object) or should it remain where i found it

neel

I want those sprite sheet plz give me

Code Monkey

You can download the project files for any of the videos from the website.

Glorfindel Iron Foot

One question why when I open the project all the scene is black? and then when I played it the background is all black? is like everything is not there. Just the spiderman appear and do the movements.

Code Monkey

It's black since I cannot distribute the background texture because I didn't make it, you can grab a bunch of free background textures from the asset store.
And the animation system only runs when the game is running so the character doesn't show in the editor, only in game.

Glorfindel Iron Foot

I can't open the project. What can I do?

Code Monkey

Why can't you open? Do you get some error message? What version of Unity do you have?

Glorfindel Iron Foot

@Code Monkey Unity 2017.4.21f1 and the project don´t show the scene.

Code Monkey

This was built in Unity 2018 so that might be the reason, download the latest 2018 version and try again.

Rethateadmira gacha

Hi!, please review Project Files. The scenes are totally broken when they are loaded into 2018.3 . It's a pitty, because it would be fine to have the scenes working (mainly GameScene_Base, so we could repeat what you are explaining)

Ryan Yuri

() =>


What is this?

Code Monkey

That's the short hand for creating a delegate function
() => { Debug.Log("Test"); }
Is the same as
private void MyFunction() {
Debug.Log("Test");
}
Look up C# Lambda expressions.

que back

Why u sound like blue panda?

Ashvin

I have the folder downloaded etc, but Im unsure on how to setup the character properly to have the character + animations ready like in the start of the video

Tựu Vũ Văn

I can't sign up an account on your website to download project file. Because form sign up has not submit button. Please help me to make an account , mail email is tuuvv.uit@gmail.com

Code Monkey

Is your resolution too small to see the button? Try zooming out with Ctrl + Minus.

Payaa

Hey can u please make a video how did u make spiderman character and apply it on unity and c++ I dont understand that man :(

Code Monkey

The spritesheet was drawn in Photoshop and animated using my animation system which composes several quads into one mesh.
Unity uses C# not C++ so not sure what you mean by that.
Cheers!

NPOCrushader

Is there a video showing what everything in the Spiderman_Base script does and how you made it?

Code Monkey

The only thing the base class does is play the animations.
I haven't done a full in-depth video on my animation system but it is based on creating and modifying meshes in run-time and I've made a few videos on that:

wow ! cool!

SPETTER!

I want you to make spiderman not feeling so good

Kaiki Games

Could you try to do your 2D creations in 3D?

Code Monkey

Most of the code in my videos works on both 2D and 3D so if you're working in 3D everything will work fine.

callmedeno

Did you make the animations yourself in adobe animate or what?

Code Monkey

The sprite is drawn in a spritesheet with the body parts separated and then animated using my own custom animation system which generates a single mesh with various quads for each body part.

Behind the Lost Crypt: Art in our new 2D Sample project

Kristyna Hougaard, February 6, 2020

Made With Unity Technology

We’ve recently hosted a webinar about our new 2D sample project, Lost Crypt. Huge thanks to all of you who joined and contributed to a great discussion about all things 2D! Many of your questions were about art creation and the integration between tools like Photoshop and Unity. So we went back to the artists behind the brilliant visuals of the demo, the Montreal studio Back to the Game (B2tGame). You can watch the webinar recording and read their answers below.

At the webinar, we’ve shown how 2D lights, shaders, and post-processing in the Universal Render Pipeline contributed to the visually ambitious project. The R&D 2D team also joined us to answer your questions about our new suite of 2D tools and discuss what they’re planning to work on in the future.

Unity global content evangelist Andy Touch presented the webinar. He was a central figure of the entire project, making sure everything fits together, adding visual effects, and getting Lost Crypt ready for the Asset Store. You can watch a recording of the webinar below:

First, a little behind the scenes about how B2tGame contributed to Lost Crypt. The B2tGame team for the project consisted of three people. Michaël (Mika) Renaud, Art Director, created all the art in the project, from the initial concept to the final polished assets. Richard Rispoli, Creative Director, defined the pipeline for the production and took care of all the lights and shaders effects. As a technical artist, he tested our newest 2D tools to their limits. Ivano (Ivan) Mansueto, Technical Director, was the technical lead on their part, dealing with the repository push and pulls. 

“We had a lot of fun working on Lost Crypt with Unity. Unity’s team was incredibly talented. We were so pleased to work with the latest 2D tools, and to be a part of getting the new-gen 2D into the hands of everybody,” says Richard.

What were your sources of inspiration for the art?

Mika: Ori and the Blind Forest was one of the references that Unity’s team gave us as an example of great looking 2D visuals. Rayman Legends also has some beautiful backgrounds.

What is your usual workflow when creating and formatting assets?

Mika: I start pasting my concept in one big document. It helps me keep a consistent level of detail across all the sprites. Then I make a list of all the different elements I will need to compose the scene. This helps me to see what must be painted, and what can be reused. After that, I start cleaning everything for integration. Once the asset is in, it’s a lot easier to polish.

A few of the webinar attendees were interested in learning more about converting textures to normal maps. What’s your process?

Mika: There’s a built-in filter in Photoshop to generate normal maps from an image. Try it first on some assets you know, like a sphere, for example, to make sure it works well in Unity. There are different conventions on how the tool encodes the normals’ information so you may have to experiment.

Do you have any tips for artists preparing assets that will be used by our Tilemap tool?

Mika: Go to the Asset Store and use an existing tileset as a starting point if you can.Otherwise, I would encourage people to use some smart objects in Photoshop. Creating a tileset involves repeating some patterns a lot. Whenever you need to alter the overall look of the tileset, having a good portion of the tiles updated simultaneously saves a lot of time.

What do you think about the new PSD Importer package? Did it improve your workflow between Photoshop and Unity compared to your experience with previous projects?

Ivan: Definitely, it’s very convenient being able to import a PSD directly into Unity while retaining the layer structure. It removes a step for artists and makes further modifications easier to maintain.

What was your favorite new Unity tool while working on the project?

Richard: Shader Graph is so cool. It really helps you push the overall quality. If you look at the Night Ghouls for example, their shape and style is quite neutral, all the magic is in Shader Graph.

Any other external tools besides Photoshop that you’d like to recommend to developers?

Richard: Crazybump and all similar tools can be really helpful to generate some maps for very detailed objects. Blender is definitely an excellent tool to integrate into your production pipeline, even in 2D. It requires a small learning curve, but overall it gives you more solutions than any other 3D software and it’s 100% free.

Are there any performance tips for optimizing art assets settings that you’d like to share?

Ivan: The biggest performance costs we ran into were due to overly complex puppets, so make sure to reduce the number of Sprite Skins in puppets by having as few elements as possible. Also, lower the geometry in the Sprite Skin Editor as much as you can.

Lights had very little impact on performance so you can pretty much use as many as you want, but try to use as few sorting layers as you need.

If you’re looking to optimize even further, try reducing the Render Scale of your RenderPipelineAsset and/or the Render Texture Scale of your custom 2D Renderer Data (if you have one).

Any other tips or advice for developers planning to work on visually ambitious 2D projects?

Mika: Start with the best concept art possible, and keep an open state of mind: everything is possible. Break down your concepts into single elements, and think ahead for what you should do first and what will be reused.

Richard: Favor some more “neutral” or local colors, as opposed to fully lit sprites. This will help you to make sure your assets work well with a vast array of lighting scenarios.

Use the mask channels (RGBA) to integrate all the different lighting information: rim lights, subsurface scattering lights (SSS), ambient lights, fx lights, etc. Then use a shader to get the most control on each element.

Remember that normals will give you texture and grain, but only work close to some dynamic light sources.
