Flipbook Texures

Before we get started you will need a flipbook texture.

A flipbook texture is a single image containing each frame of an animation laid out in a grid.

Flipbook texture example

Creating a .vtex file

Now that we have our flipbook texture, we need to create a .vtex file, so we can use it in the Sprite Renderer.

• Right click the flipbook texture in the asset browser and select Create Texture, save it with the desired name and location.
• In the Texture Editor, press the Edit more... button to the right of the Sequence filepath.

• Tick the Flipbook checkbox and set the rows and columns to match your flipbook texture.
• Press Done to close the sequence editor and then save the Texture.

Using the animated sprite

• Select your new animated texture in the texture property on the Sprite Renderer
• Increase the animation rate property on the Sprite Renderer

Congratulations! You have just created and used your first animated sprite in the Particle Editor!
