Vector Shape Tool

• 9 core output modes: MeshRenderer, Sprite Renderer, UI Graphic, Raw Image, LineRenderer, ParticleSystem, PolygonCollider2D, EdgeCollider2D, SpriteMask

• Optional SpriteShape output support through Unity's 2D SpriteShape package and scripting define

• Single unified Vector Shape component - one inspector controls shape editing, rendering mode, styling, animation, particles, paths, SVG layers, colliders, and masks

• Shape data embedded directly in the component - no separate shape asset file required for normal use

• Duplicating a GameObject automatically forks its shape into an independent copy - edits never bleed between objects

• Automatic component management - switching output mode adds/removes the required Unity components for the selected mode

• Visual Bezier editing directly in the Scene View with point handles, tangent handles, curve preview, and editable outline display

• Point editing tools: select, multi-select, box-select, move, add, remove, and edit Bezier tangents

• Point modes: Corner, Smooth, and Symmetric

• Full shape transform in edit mode: move, rotate, and scale the entire shape with bounding box handles without affecting the GameObject transform

• Scale from center with Alt/Option modifier, similar to common design tools

• Rotation through inner bounding-box corner zones, with optional 15-degree snapping using Shift

• Dynamic bounding box updates in real time during edit operations

• Grid snapping for precise point placement

• 7 built-in shape presets: Rectangle, Circle, Rounded Rectangle, Triangle, Pentagon, Hexagon, Star

• Reset Shape & Transform option restores the component to a clean default state, including shape, color, output styling, path settings, SVG layers, glow, dash, particles, and transform data

• Full Undo/Redo support in the Unity Editor

• Renderer output generates a mesh for standard world-space rendering with custom materials

• Sprite Renderer output supports 2D sorting workflows while using generated shape geometry

• UI Graphic output uses a live MaskableGraphic mesh on a Canvas, with support for masking, raycasting, layout behavior, and shape color

• UI Raw Image output rasterizes the shape into a Texture2D inside the RectTransform

• UI modes include Canvas validation and a built-in option to wrap the object in a new Canvas when needed

• Auto-managed RectTransform behavior for UI output - width, height, and anchors are controlled by the tool to fit the edited shape

• Raw Image texture resolution control, from low-cost preview sizes up to high-resolution rasterized output

• PolygonCollider2D output generates a filled 2D physics collider from the shape outline

• EdgeCollider2D output generates an edge-based 2D physics path

• SpriteMask output uses the shape as a mask for SpriteRenderer-based workflows

• Line output supports solid color or full UnityEngine.Gradient along the evaluated line path

• Optional gradient loop mode for closed shapes to avoid visible color seams

• Line output supports flat ribbon rendering, camera-facing billboard rendering, and local-plane rendering

• 3D Tube mode sweeps the line path into a real tube mesh with true thickness, visible from all camera angles

• Adjustable tube side count for balancing visual quality and performance

• Built-in self-contained glow shader - no bloom, HDR camera, or post-processing required

• Glow supports Additive and Alpha Blended modes for both dark and bright scenes

• Glow controls include intensity, edge softness, and white-hot core amount

• 3D Tube mode automatically uses the glow material for a neon tube effect

• Ground Glow / Floor Light Spill creates a soft color wash under glowing lines and shapes

• Ground Glow can inherit the line color or use a custom color

• Closed shapes support inner/outer floor glow reach and softness behavior

• Open paths support strip-style floor glow with width, edge softness, and core fill behavior

• Cast Light option places real-time Point Lights along the glowing shape so the line can illuminate nearby scene geometry

• Cast Light controls include light count, intensity multiplier, range, and height offset

• Dashed Line output uses a procedural dash system with no texture required

• Dash Length, Gap Length, Density, Soft Cap, and Dash Flow are adjustable and keyframeable

• Dash Flow supports animated moving dash patterns along the line

• Dash rendering combines with glow, gradient, 3D tube, particles, and path features

• Noise / Wave system creates transverse animated displacement along the line

• Wave controls include Amplitude, Wavelength, Wave Speed, Phase, Random sine-to-Perlin blend, and per-axis displacement

• Wave and noise displacement can affect X, Y, and Z axes for 3D depth effects

• Wave parameters are fully keyframeable

• Adaptive vertex subdivision on Line output automatically increases density near steep wave peaks for smoother curves at high frequency

• Seamless wave closure on closed shapes at any wavelength and Perlin blend value - no visible seam at the join point

• Phase accumulator prevents animation jumps when Wave Speed is keyframed from zero to a non-zero value

• Path configuration mode converts a Line shape into a ready-to-use navigation path setup

• Configure As Path enables tuned dashed glow, ground conforming, markers, and path-specific controls in one action

• Ground conforming drapes the path, edit handles, and markers onto collider surfaces

• Conform controls include target transform, surface lift, ray-up distance, and ray-down distance

• Waypoint markers support rings, endpoint dots, color inheritance, custom color, size, and lift

• Trajectory Arc mode creates a ballistic arc preview instead of a normal waypoint path

• Trajectory arcs support target transform, local target offset, arc height, resolution, and optional ground landing behavior

• Runtime path API supports live waypoint updates, local/world path setting, trajectory target updates, and landing point queries

• Particle Shape baking converts line geometry into a mesh for use as a ParticleSystem emission shape

• Particle baking supports both flat ribbon lines and 3D tube meshes

• ParticleSystem Shape module is automatically wired to the generated mesh at runtime

• Particles inherit the shape color and update live when the shape color changes

• Multiple Vector Shape components can share one ParticleSystem and emit from all shapes combined

• Combined particle emission preserves each component's full configured emission amount

• Per-component emission balancing prevents large or dense shapes from stealing the entire particle budget

• Particle balancing supports Vertex, Edge, and Triangle shape modes

• Editor save-guard restores base ParticleSystem emission values before scene or prefab saving, then reapplies scaled runtime/editor values afterward

• SVG import supports loading .svg files directly into the Vector Shape component

• Reload option re-imports the last remembered SVG source

• Single-element SVG files load into the current component shape

• Multi-element SVG files become layered shapes managed from one host inspector

• SVG layer controls include visibility toggle, color swatch, editable name, reorder buttons, and delete option

• Each SVG layer can have independent color, glow, dash, 3D tube, and normal Vector Shape styling

• Imported SVG colors update live from both the layer list and the embedded layer inspector

• Imported SVGs can be fully cleared using Reset Shape & Transform

• Animation support for individual shape points and Bezier tangents through Unity's Animation window

• Animatable mode exposes point position, incoming tangent, and outgoing tangent properties for keyframing

• Shape morphing supports smooth interpolation between keyframed shapes and presets

• Line properties can be animated directly, including width, dash values, density, soft cap, wave amplitude, wavelength, speed, phase, randomness, and axis settings

• Timeline integration includes a dedicated Vector Shape Track for blending between shape clips

• Supports reusable buffers and version-guarded updates to avoid unnecessary rebuilds

• Zero-allocation mesh rebuild approach for optimized editor and runtime updates

• Proper cleanup of generated resources to avoid memory leaks

• Mobile friendly - designed for minimal CPU/GPU overhead when used responsibly

• Glow shader works without requiring post-processing, making it suitable for lightweight projects and mobile-friendly setups

• Compatible with Built-in Render Pipeline, URP, HDRP, and Custom Render Pipelines

• Supports Unity 2020.3 and later, including Unity 6

• Includes editor warnings and graceful fallbacks for missing Canvas, missing conform 

target, particle setup issues, and unsupported optional integrations
