Pixel Perfect Shadows URP2D
Pixel Perfect Shadows is a lightweight solution for adding crisp, pixel-aligned projected shadows to sprites. It’s built around a simple workflow: drop in a prefab, assign your SpriteRenderer, and tune a few intuitive settings to match your art style and world scale.
This asset is designed for top-down / face-camera / 2D stylized games where clean, stable shadows help sprites feel grounded without breaking pixel clarity. It can also work on other settings if set up properly.
Key Features
- Drop-in prefab workflow: add the shadow prefab and assign a SpriteRenderer
- Pixel-aligned results: stable shadows designed to match pixel-art aesthetics
- Directional projection controls: drive shadow direction from a light source or vector
- Side shadow projection: if a side secondary texture is added, the shadow will be 4 directional, showing the side projection when adequate. Check images for more details.
- Demo scene included: example setup and sample content to verify behavior quickly
- Clean package structure: runtime and demo content separated for easy integration
Getting Started (30 seconds)
- Import the package into a project
- Drag ShadowQuad prefab into a sprite in the scene
- Assign your SpriteRenderer in the ShadowQuad component and Reference light object.
- Adjust direction, stretch, and opacity to match your lighting
