Will there be an option to disable fading between the current and next sprite?

There is a weird visual glitch when frame fades. I think there should be an option for fading because it doesn’t always look good with cartoony sprites.

Been waiting forever, finally its out.
There have been some cool things you can make with flipbooks/sprite sheets and I’m super excited to see them used in actual games now

I’ve waited so long for this, and I’m excited to make use of it! This will really help save memory around particles and instead of having to use one Particle Emitter for fire, smoke, and ashes, instead I’ll be able to merge them all into one object.

I agree 100%, with solid shapes and longer lifetimes the fading just looks bad.

Yeah, this is absolutely rad, even with the image size limitations.
For those wondering, yes, I made these particles from scratch.

This update is really cool, but it will be really cool to add particle physics and better to control the particle movement.

Finally I will be able to use several amazing visual effects!

I still don’t understand why there is not support for our own Flipbook Layout values, I can nearly achieve this same feature with a billboard GUI and an imagelabel, and even then I have heaps more customizability, what’s holding back having custom options for flipbook layouts? (eg you can set number of row’s on the X axis to 5, and you can set number on the Y axis to 7 etc etc)

I really see a lot of potential in this. Really grateful for this awesome update!
