40 drop-in 2D sprite shaders for Unity, built for pixel art. Put any of them on a SpriteRenderer with one line of C#, or as a material from the inspector.Works in any pipeline: the effects are unlit sprite shaders. Tested in Built-in, URP (2D and Universal Renderer) and HDRP. In HDRP the colours come out under HDRP's default exposure and post-processing unless the camera turns them off.40 drop-in 2D sprite shaders for Unity, built for pixel art.
