2D ANIMATION RIGGING IN UNITY 🎮 | PNG & PSB FILES | Bone Tool Sprite Rigging | Unity Tutorial

In this Unity tutorial we will create a Sprite animation in Unity! 😊 We will be animating using Unity's bone rigging, and I will show how to do this using BOTH a PNG and PSB file, since I know some people don't have Photoshop.

You're the only YouTuber I've found that has been able to help me with PNGs rather than purely PSBs. Thank you so much!

[FormlessFlesh]

You have no idea how long I looked for a video like this. I was having so much difficulty manipulating a PNG someone sent me that already had bones. Every other video showed the individual sprite method and not the whole sprite sheet method, which explains why none of those tutorials worked.

Thank you AGAIN for going so in depth! The best video out there on this subject.

[kristipearce]

Thank you forever!! The png route is the one I’ve been looking for everywhere!

[starwaveprime]

You have no idea how grateful I’m am for this video… a few years ago I followed your other channel because of wow…. Little did I know our paths would cross again when I took this new hobby 😅
Great job!!

6:02 Good advice...
I was struggling with this for awhile
Thank you for separating the sprites and putting them together
Everyone else had a "pre-formed body" already. I wasn't aware you can do it separately like this

[vystrax]

If there's anyone like me out there and the bone movement at @10:49 isn't deforming your underlying sprite, de-select (double-click in the transparent area), re-select the image(double-click) and re-run "Generate for selected". Your image should turn into a rainbow, with colors matching local bones.

Wow...ALL IN ONE for 2D - PNG + Import +Rigg + Animation + Animator Conditions + Code !!! Excellent Tutorial !

[timmy]

Commenting the same as others who found this resource - this is the best tutorial on png sprite importing, skinning, rigging and animation. I've completed most of the Unity Learn tutorials and this is far better. This should be referenced in the Unity forums (if it's not already). Thanks for an excellent resource!

[gabisquarizzi]

i just wanna to tell you that you're now my best friend, and you have no choice about it.
i watch this video a lot, everytime i'm using unity, you're with me because your explanation makes everything so clear.
thank you so much! :)

[Amazedm]

Thank you, a perfect introduction for my beginnings in Unity!

[bohmales]

Double click? Really?! I spent an hour searching because Unity said it would work via double click? Thanks my friend.

[armandopenatamayo]

Just the video I was looking for, awesome content!!!

[estebanborro]

[umbertosemeleer]

thank you for pointing out I had to apply the "Sprite skin"

[UzualDaniel]

The best video i found so far, thanks!

[BrunoFinger]

Unity support for Aseprite .ase .aseprite files has recently landed, would be very interesting to have an updated video teaching how to bone rig those too!

[Rage-wgqi]

Thanks a lot!! It really helped me to understand the different parts of rigging in Unity, and everything well explained both PNG and PSD files.
