Sprite Drop Shadows

Sprite Drop Shadow is a plug-and-play unity package that automatically creates and mantains synchronized drop shadows for the SpriteRenderer component.

Simply add the component to any game object with a SpriteRenderer and customize the shadow directly from the Inspector.

The asset supports runtime sprite changes, parent alpha inheritance, and independent sorting order control, so shadows always stay visually consistent with the source sprite.

Features:

• Automatic sprite drop shadow generation
• Real-time sprite synchronization (change your sprite normally and the shadow updates automatically)
• Customizable offset, distance, and shadow color
• Independent shadow sorting order offset
• Lightweight, optimized updates (no per-frame work unless needed)

Usage:

1. Download the package 'SpriteDropShadows.unitypackage' below.
2. Import it via the menus Assets>Import Package>Custom Package...
3. Select the GameObject with a SpriteRenderer you wish to add a shadow to.
4. Add the 'Sprite Drop Shadow' component, as shown here:
   
5. Press Play!
