Is it possible to skew a sprite?

[Kieranb]

Hi there,

Just wondering if it's possible to skew a sprite at run time, so that the top half moves while the bottom half stays put.

No it isn't.

Ah Ok thanks. Love 2D Toolkit, first feature I've ever come across that hasn't been implemented already.

Keep being awesome!

Set the anchor to Lower Center and change it's Scale Y.... I think this will give you what you want.

I think it would also be good to implement a skew for the tk2d textmesh as well. It would be good to create "italic" on the fly

I generally work around this by rotating the text/sprite in two axes. Works for 2d games --- 3d rotation becomes 2d skew from the point of view of the camera.

I've done skewing by changing the mesh's vertices, it may break the batching but not sure about that. I think I also had to change some of the tk2d code to access the vertices array too.
