COMMON QUESTIONS.
For setup or customisation issues, use Discord support.
Request a free fit check ↗Does it work with my render pipeline?
The store lists Built-in, URP and HDRP. Run Master Setup and rebuild for the active pipeline; renderer-specific variants still apply.
Can I apply an effect only to part of a sprite?
Yes. Enable Effect Masks, assign a mask texture and select its mask channel on the effect. The mask guide covers this workflow.
Can you check whether it suits my project?
Yes. FlexiSprite meets the $17.50 minimum for a free pre-purchase fit check. Send the project requirements and one screenshot; custom implementation is separate paid work.
