How to Use

1. Install and activate the Aseprite Importer plugin.

1. Use the import function in the Unreal Engine editor or drag and drop the Aseprite file you want to load into the content browser. Importing an Aseprite file will generate the following assets:

   

   • Flipbooks > Flipbook Assets

     • Note: When using the Split Layers option, a flipbook is created for each layer in the Aseprite file, based on the Visible Layers

       

   • Frames > Sprite Assets

     • Note: When using the Split Layers option, Aseprite generates a separate frame for each layer in the file, based on the Visible Layers.

   • Textures > Texture2D Asset

   

2. If you've made changes to the original Aseprite file after importing it and wish to reflect those changes in the Unreal assets, you can simply execute the Reimport option for the Aseprite file, as shown in the image below.

   Note: Due to the limitations of Paper2D, which does not support direct keyframe editing, Flipbooks cannot fully utilize the Reimport functionality. If there are changes to the Flipbook itself, such as the addition of animation frames, you will need to create a new Flipbook using the 'Create Flipbooks' menu option.

1. You can change the following settings in Edit > Project Settings > Plugins > Aseprite Importer:
   • Whether to automatically generate flipbooks
   • The execution path for Aseprite.exe
   • Whether to change the Frame Run value based on Aseprite Frame Duration
     • The base FPS for calculating Frame Duration: This should be set to match the FPS value used in the flipbook in order to accurately reflect the Frame Duration set in Aseprite.
     • Note: that the default FPS setting in Unreal Engine's Flipbook is 15, which may not accurately reflect Aseprite's default Frame Duration of 100 milliseconds. This is because only integers are accepted for the Run Frame value, and calculating it as 100(ms) / (1000(1 sec) / 15(fps)) results in 1 when rounded from 14.99. To ensure that the Frame Duration set in Aseprite is accurately represented, you can change the FPS to 10 and adjust the 'Flip Book Frame Per Sec' option in the plugin settings to 10 as well.
