Color Studio 10 is a complete in-Editor workflow for palettes, pixel art, animation, recoloring, and sprite-to-voxel conversion. Create, paint, animate, recolor, and export without leaving Unity.

No external apps. No interrupted workflow. Just faster iteration where you need it.

Compatible with Built-in, URP, and HDRP.

🚀 LATEST IN COLOR STUDIO 10

• Modern color models: OKLch (default), HSL, and RGB with visual pickers.

• Layer-based Pixel Painter animation with frames, playback, onion skinning, and per-frame timing.

• Expanded drawing, shape, text, selection, and transform tools with movable pivots.

• PSD and sprite-sheet import, GIF and sprite-sheet export, plus layered .pp project files.

• Advanced layers with masks, blend modes, opacity, and effects.

• Live-preview filters including sharpen, blur, palette remap, hue, saturation, contrast, tint, posterize, and pixelate.

• Scene texture workflow for browsing and painting GameObject and material textures with live in-scene preview.

• High-performance undo/redo designed for large pixel-art workflows.

🧩 CORE WORKFLOWS

🎨 Design Palettes

Build palettes using color-theory schemes such as complementary, analogous, split complementary, triadic, tetradic, square, spectrum, gradients, and custom layouts. Adjust hue count, shades, saturation, lightness, brightness range, hue spread, and color temperature.

Import ASE files, extract colors from textures, save palettes as ScriptableObjects, and export LUTs, palette textures, or C# color arrays.

🖌️ Paint Sprites and Textures

Create or edit sprites, textures, and sprite sheets directly in Unity. Pixel Painter includes configurable brushes, custom patterns, blend modes, mirror painting, gradients, precision shapes, selection tools, text layers, and non-destructive layer effects.

🎞️ Animate Pixel Art

Create frame-based animations with independent layer stacks, thumbnails, playback, looping, per-frame duration, and previous/next-frame onion skinning. Export the result as an animated GIF or sprite-sheet atlas with spacing and automatic slicing metadata.

🌈 Recolor Assets in Editor and Runtime

Apply palettes and per-color rules to sprites, MeshRenderers, and SkinnedMeshRenderers. Use mask textures, color correction, and LUT optimization, then bake final results into materials or textures.

🧊 Convert 2D Art to Voxels

Turn flattened pixel art into an optimized voxel prefab with generated meshes and materials designed for low vertex overhead.

🧱 Paint Scene Materials

Select a GameObject, inspect its editable texture slots, open existing textures, or create missing ones inside Pixel Painter. Preview changes live on meshes, sprites, and UI elements.
