All-in-1 Sprite Shader Flexisprite

Create polished 2D sprite effects in seconds, no shader writing required!
What is FlexiSprite?
FlexiSprite is a massive all-in-one sprite effects toolkit built for everything from simple hit flashes and outlines to animated dissolves, wind, water reflections, holograms, stylized materials, UI effects, and any look that is a combination of 120+ effects.
How many effects are there?
Effects can be combined and reordered inside a flexible effect stack, turning more than 120 individual effects into a virtually unlimited library of custom results.
One step setup: just add an Animated Sprite Shader component to your sprite!

Main Features
120+ combinable effects for virtually unlimited visual possibilities
Up to four masks per effect, no other tool comes close to this versatility and performance
Reorderable effect stack for fine-tuning results
Animated shader parameters with a dedicated animation tool

Technical and compatibility
SpriteRenderer, UI, and 3D sprite workflows
Built-In, URP, partial HDRP, and URP 2D Lighting support
25 ready-to-use sprite shader variants
Runtime C# API for gameplay-driven effects
Mobile and WebGL-friendly packed texture workflow
Texture baking for projects that need simpler runtime rendering
Sprite Atlas support
Presets, setup tools, and pipeline migration tools
Ongoing compatibility updates for current and upcoming Unity releases

FlexiSprite provides one consistent workflow for creating, animating, controlling, optimizing, and reusing sprite effects throughout an entire project.
Use it for:
Characters and enemies
Foliage and environmental animation
Combat feedback and status effects
Collectibles and interactable objects
Dissolves and scene transitions
Stylized materials
Pixel-art effects
UI images and interface feedback
2D Lit sprites
Sprites placed in 3D scenes
Runtime-controlled visual effects

ADVANCED MASKING
FlexiSprite includes a built-in global masking system.
Each effect can use up to four masks, giving you far more control than a traditional single-mask shader workflow.
Masks can be used to:
Restrict effects to specific sprite regions
Combine several differently masked effects
Build layered damage, dissolve, glow, or recoloring systems
Reuse masks across effects
Create complex results without editing the original texture

ANIMATION AND RUNTIME CONTROL
FlexiSprite was designed around both animation and gameplay integration.
Animate shader parameters
Create personalized effect animations
Trigger effects from gameplay
Modify effect settings through C#
Control colors, strengths, speeds, masks, and other parameters at runtime
Update only the necessary effect data
Build reusable effects for characters, abilities, damage feedback, UI, and environments

You can use FlexiSprite entirely from the Inspector or connect it to larger gameplay systems through its runtime API.
ALL MAJOR RENDER PIPELINES SUPPORTED
FlexiSprite includes dedicated variants for:
Built-In Render Pipeline
Universal Render Pipeline
URP 2D Lighting
High Definition Render Pipeline
Unlit SpriteRenderer workflows
UI workflows

25 SHADER VARIANTS FOR MAXIMUM VERSATILITY
The included shader variants cover a wide range of use cases instead of forcing every sprite into one rendering setup.
Supported workflows include:
SpriteRenderer
Unity UI
Unlit sprites
URP 2D Lit sprites
Sprites interacting with 3D lighting
Sprites receiving light and shadows
Built-In Render Pipeline
URP
HDRP

PERFORMANCE AND SHIPPING TOOLS
FlexiSprite includes several options for adapting effects to different platforms and project requirements:
Mobile and WebGL-friendly packed texture workflow
Efficient code and shader partial updates
Texture baking
Sprite Atlas support
Pipeline-specific variants
Optional pipeline-specific demo packages
Migration and setup utilities

Complex effects can remain fully dynamic, while finished visuals can be baked into textures when runtime flexibility is no longer required.
