Title: Stroke (outline, border, whtever you call it) and blur possible?
Post by: DarkSlash on December 12, 2014, 12:32:55 pm

It's possible to add a stroke (outline, border, there're several names for the same thing) to a sprite? How about a blur effect? Is there're an effect list that can be applied to sprites?

Hi, there isn't, but you can add stroke in the bmfont if you need it.
Blur needs to be done on a layer of sprites to be feasible in real time.

Sorry, what it means "Blur needs to be done on a layer of sprites to be feasible in real time."?

You need to apply a blur post process to an entire layer / camera. There is no fast way to blur 1 sprite other than to store the pre-blurred sprite.

ok, and that it's done with 2DToolkit or just with Unity?

Blur post process = unity, you need unity pro for all post processing effects in unity.
Pre blurred sprites can be made in photoshop / gimp.
