How to create 2d character assets

Hi, it depends on the graphics or image program you use. Any graphics program when you import a map such as a tile when you export it as an object in D5 you will have an object. You can move it and rotate it and scale it.
In this case you choose the character, insert it in a plane, that is, in a face, then cut it on the outline of the character, then rotate it vertically and slide it into a file that you can import into D5, so you will have your 2D character to position.

I have a library of 2d image people (psd, png) and can integrate them into my d5 scenes
But I do not know how

If you have many 2D images and they are in PNG, it’s simple just load them into a D5 object which is in the basic geometric shapes, just take the flat shape, rotate it and with the dropper take the material which is decidedly white, replace it with the 2D image and give the ALFA property where it is possible to manage the background making it transparent while remaining the 2D image of the man or woman. But know that you have to resize the object according to the image, because it can have the problem that the image multiplies. So for me it would be better to do the same operation in the graphics program and cut out the outline, save it in format that you can import it into D5 as an object.
You waste more time, but you have a well-defined object that you can reuse.

Hello!
We have some 2D character assets in our library and I think you can use them.

If you want to import your own 2D character assets. You can place a D5 2D character and then modify its base colour map to the image you want to import.

thank you for your help
But I can’t modify its basic color map according to the image I want to import.
I do not have access to the equipment with the pipette

Please, make 2D characters usable with path! (i use 2D character assets primarily for trees, but anyway)

I found you have to go through the drop-down menu
‘‘Tool’’
‘‘Material Picker’’
or short ‘‘i’’
