GPU2DAnimator is a professional URP-ready 2D GPU vertex animation (VAT) solution designed for Unity.Developed based on Unity6's URP pipeline, so you can get the best compatibility on this versionGPU2DAnimator — GPU-Driven 2D Skeletal Animation (VAT) for URPA professional-grade 2D animation acceleration solution for Unity.By baking SpriteSkin motion into EXR textures and sampling in the GPU vertex stage, it removes Animator/SpriteSkin CPU cost, enabling massive batching and stable FPS on mobile, PC, and consoles. One-click bake, drop-in prefabs, and lightweight runtime—no runtime rigging or Animator graphs.Use Cases------------------------2D characters, crowds, and NPC swarmsAction/platformers with many on-screen actorsUI/live avatars and 2D VFX sequencesMobile titles needing stable frame timeProjects targeting URP with SpriteRenderer + SpriteSkinCore Features------------------------One-click Baker: Pre-bake per-clip motion JSON → VAT textures → merged mesh/prefabRuntime Component: Per-clip play/loop, default clip fallback, time scale, child-applyInstancing-friendly: Minimal per-instance data; _FrameIndex drives animationSmart Assets: Linear EXR, uncompressed, point, clamp (auto import settings)Clean Config: JSON-based clip ranges/fps/duration; inspector clip controls and previewProduction Shader: IGD/GPU2DAnimationShader Cross-Platform OptimizationConsistent performance on mobile, PC, and consolesStable FPS with large crowds and many animated actorsLow CPU usage, reduced spikes from Animator/SpriteSkinYou’ll Benefit-------------------------Significant CPU offload and fewer bottlenecksSmooth playback with large numbers of animated spritesMinutes-to-integrate pipeline, production-ready prefabs and materialsUpgrade your 2D animation performance today.Website: https://kop098.github.io/igdmaster/Discord: igdmasterTechnical Support: https://discord.gg/dzJzhaCeUgIncluded Contents------------------------Editor Baker and Resample ToolsRuntime Component (GPU2DAnimator)URP Shader and MaterialsSample Configurations and Documentation
