What's 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's 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!

- 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

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

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
