Palette swapping, a technique borrowed from old school game engines, is a
great system for dynamically changing the colors of sprites at runtime.
While it's not built into Unity, with a little ingenuity and the advanced
techniques shown in this course, you can emulate palette swapping in any
2D sprite-based game. Jesse Freeman will show you how to build custom
menus and inspectors to analyze and change sprite's colors, save custom
color palettes with scriptable objects, change colors on sprite textures
at runtime, and even apply color changes to animated sprites. Last, he'll
show how to optimize this workflow and reuse it in other Unity projects.
Topics include:
* Importing artwork
* Working with sprites and animations
* Creating scriptable objects
* Sampling colors from sprite textures
* Extending Unity and building a custom inspector
* Creating custom textures
* Optimizing the palettes
* Cleaning up sprites in Photoshop
