What changed
Unity feature: Sprite blend shapes
Sprite blend-shape APIs provide a way to deform a sprite beyond a bone rig. Tool authors can expose shape controls for expressions or other custom animation.
Use it
- Create a uniquely named shape with Sprite.AddBlendShape.
- Build the deformation and animation controls around the sprite blend-shape APIs for the tool or character system.
Requirements and limits
- This is an API foundation, not a ready-made character animation editor. Empty or duplicate shape names are rejected.
