What it does

One editor workflow for 2D asset generation.

Ase2UE relies on Aseprite and Paper2D. It is an editor tool, not a runtime importer.

Generate Paper2D assets

Create textures, sprites, and flipbooks from one saved Aseprite file.

Use marker layers

Turn 1x1 marker pixels into PaperSprite sockets for hands, weapons, and trace points.

Reimport safely

Save in Aseprite, click Import Now again, and update stable generated assets in place.
