I'm excited to share these techniques with you, so let's get started with the first lesson. By the end of the training, you will be able to control a 2D character in Unity using a short C# script getting the Unitys animator system to handle most of the work. Some of the key take aways from watching this course include learning how to design 2D game content in layers, how to rig and animate a character in Sprite or using reference material made into Sprites, to organize Sprites and Unity using layers sorting and colliders, and to prepare a character animation system for interactive control by using a minimum of C# code. Because this course is focused on Unity, I will be showing examples of how some, but not all, of the assets we use are made. In this course we are going to bring a 2D character through a work flow from photoshop through Spriter and in to Unity. Where I work with animation and game design students on a Bachelors degree program. Also, it enables you to draw 2D animations using bitmap and vector graphics. Furthermore, it has a straightforward interface that makes animation easy. This is a lightweight program that allows you to create 2D animation for completely free.

I'm a tutor at Ballyfermot College in Dublin. If you’re looking for an open-source 2D animation software, use Pencil 2D Animation.
