SpriteToParticles v2.1
“If possible, please buy the package to support the developer”
SpriteToParticles is a script that use a Sprite component or Image component (UI) as a emitter for the Shuryken Particle System. It uses the sprite pixel position and/or color as emission source.
Examples of use would be:
– Effects for your sprite character or items.
– Enhancement of backgrounds.
– Bringing life to static images.
Details:
– Full source, fully commented
– 14 Demos with different examples of use
– Works on all platforms (read documentation to check performance)
Try it out:
StP for Sprites
StP for UI
Considerations:
– Read/Write options must be enabled in texture import settings (Texture Importer).
– Mobile doesn’t handle well much particles. Try keeping emission low.
– Some example scenes won’t be available for Unity 5.4.
