????Features????
Perfomant – all data to generate outline is cached and sotred as nested texture in original texture asset, avoiding runtime calculation.

Multiple sprites support – sprites with ‘Multiple’ mode is fully supported.
Seamless integration – its just a few clicks to setup your initial Outline/Shadow. User experience integrates nativly to unity.

????️Roadmap????️
Improving image modes support (Tiled, Sliced, Filled), right now there are certain nuances
Possibly adding Sprite Renderer support
Advanced materials, textures, animations, virtual materials, etc
Technical details
⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
Uses AssetImporter.userData to store SDF import settings, so if you using any plugins that also writes to userData of textures it will not be compatible.
Sprite Atlases is now supported but with some limitations. Know more about atlases support here
Sprite Renderer is not supported right now, possibilities for implementation will be explored but this is a tricky topic.
Versions before 1.1.x is not directly compatible with 1.1.x, know more about it here

When working with SDFImage in prefabs with context crash might happen with multiple logs like: d3d11: EndWrite on null buffer.
Upgrading Unity version to latest LTS of your choice should help, if not message me.
