README

        What is the Unity PSD Layout Tool?

==================================

It is a tool used to automatically layout Photoshop Documents (.psd files) in the Unity Game Engine. 

Features

========

* Layout each PSD layer as Unity 4.3+ Sprites

  * Create Sprite animations using a set of layers as the frames in the animation

* Layout each PSD Layer as Unity 4.6+ UI elements

  * Create Button objects using a set of layers as the button states

* Generate a single prefab with the entire layout (Sprites or UI)

* Export each PSD Layer as a .png file on the hard drive

  * Useful for simply updating textures without creating an entire layout

How to Install

==============

Simply copy the files into your project.  A .unitypackage file will be provided in the future.

How to Use

==========

The PSD Layout Tool is implemented as a Unity Custom Inspector.  If you select a PSD file that you have in your project (Assets folder) special buttons will appear above the default importer settings.

* **Maximum Depth**

  * The maximum depth value (Z position) to use when laying the layers out.  The front-most layer (minimum depth) is always 0.

* **Pixels to Unity Units**

  * The scale to use when generating Unity Sprites, in pixels to Unity world units (meters).

* **Use Unity UI**

  * Check to generate Unity 4.6+ UI elements instead of "normal" GameObjects.

* **Export Layers as Textures**

  * Creates a .png image file for each layer in the PSD file, using the same folder structure.

* **Layout in Current Scene**

  * Creates a Unity 4.3+ Sprite object for each layer in the PSD file.  It is laid out to match the PSD's layout and folder structure.

* **Generate Prefab**

  * Identical to the previous option, but it generates a .prefab file instead of putting the objects in the scene.

Special Tags

==========

Layers can have special tags applied to them that flags them to have the layout tool perform special operations on them.

### Group Layer Tags ###

|        Tag        | Description |

| ----------------- | ----------- |

|  |Animation  |  Creates a Sprite animation using all of the children layers as frames |

|  |FPS=##     |  The number of frames per second to use for a Sprite animation.  Defaults to 30 if not present  | 

|  |Button     |  Creates a Button object using any tagged children layers as the button states |

### Art Layer Tags ###

|        Tag          | Description |

| -----------------   | ----------- |

|  |Disabled     |  Represents the disabled state of a button     |

|  |Highlighted  |  Represents the highlighted state of a button  | 

|  |Pressed      |  Represents the pressed state of a button  | 

|  |Default      |  Represents the default/enabled/normal/up state of a button  | 

|  |Enabled      |  Represents the default/enabled/normal/up state of a button  |

|  |Normal       |  Represents the default/enabled/normal/up state of a button  |

|  |Up           |  Represents the default/enabled/normal/up state of a button  |

|  |Text         |  Represents a **texture** that is the text of a button (normal text layers import without this tag)  |

Photoshop Compatibility

=======================

Photoshop's "Smart Objects" are not supported, and therefore must be flattened/rasterized in Photoshop before attempting to import.

1. Click **Layer** in the Photoshop menu

2. Click **Rasterize**

3. Click **All Layers**
