Add-ons and Extensions / Jelly Sprites - Soft body sprite physics system

« on: December 05, 2013, 02:04:28 pm »

Hi folks,

I'm pleased to announce the release of Jelly Sprites on the Unity Asset Store

Web Player

Tutorial Video

Jelly Sprites is a soft-body physics system for Unity and 2D Toolkit sprites, It allows you to quickly and easily convert static sprites into ones that will bounce, stretch and deform, naturally reacting to physical forces in your game.

* Works with Unity and 2D Toolkit sprites.
* Supports both 2D and 3D physics systems.
* Simple to configure, but with in-depth configuration options to let you easily balance quality and performance.
* Supports rectangular, circular, triangluar and grid body configurations.
* Attach point system allows child object positions to react to physics forces just like the visible render mesh.
* Full C# source code and example scene included.

To create a Jelly Sprite, you simply create a Jelly Sprite GameObject, drag a Unity (or 2D Toolkit) sprite onto it, and then hit play! Jelly Sprites work by creating a set of rigid bodies and circle colliders, attached by springs, the movement of which is then translated into the rendered mesh of the sprites. As the bodies stretch and distort, so do your sprites.

Jelly Sprites come with numerous options to configure everything from the spring stiffness and mass of the bodies to the physical layout of the colliders - you can make things as bouncy or as rigid as you want. Check out the tutorial video for more info.

Add-ons and Extensions / Sprite Slicer 2D - Fruit Ninja-style sprite cutting system

Hi folks,

Sprite Slicer 2D allows you to cut any physics enabled sprite into little pieces, each of which then behaves as its own independent physics object. Its perfect for bringing your 2D game to life with destructible objects and environments, or for creating a Fruit-Ninja style cutting game.

* Works on both Unity and 2D Toolkit sprites.
* Simple static script functions allow you to slice sprites along a given line, or explode them into multiple parts.
* Optimised to preserve dynamic batching and reduce draw calls.
* Slices any sprite with a 2D box, circle or convex polygon collider
* Full C# source code and example scene included

The code has been designed to be as transparent as possible - there are no new gameobjects to create; you simply pass a cut start and cut end point to one of the static Sprite Slicer 2D functions, and the code will handle the rest. Once cut, each child sprite behaves as its own separate physics body, retaining all the physics and rendering properties of the parent object, and can itself be cut into further child objects. If required, the slicing functions can return a list of all the cut objects along with their child objects and cut positions, so that the user's code can perform additional processing once the cut has taken place. Equally, you can delay destruction of the parent object in the event that you need to access variables from it before it is destroyed.
