Sorry if this is covered somewhere but I can't find anything on this, I'm looking to find information on how to use Playmaker and Unity4.3 with the new 2D features found in Unity. All I can find is the old style tutorials which are not helpful with the new system. I can't even figure out how to make a simple idle/walk animation using a sprite sheet created in 4.3, all there is are the old info using quads. Has anyone done this yet, can you point me in a direction on the process?

I am looking for this too. I thought I read that they were working on recreating the unity 2d sample game project in playmaker. Not sure if this is still ongoing or not. that would be very helpful though.

Yes we definitely want to cover this in new video tutorials!
Please vote them up on Trello so I can prioritize things properly =)

I would also like to see more tutors for using the new 2D systems and Playmaker.
Converting the Unity 2D platformer to Playmaker would answer a lot of questions in a very through and detailed manner for users to tear apart.

Brandon Wu is back at it with his latest series - Get Started with Unity 2D — Let’s Make a 2D Platformer with Unity and PlayMaker
CONTENTS
41 Video Lessons
13 Project Steps
22 Additional Resources
Definitely aimed at beginners with a basic understanding of Unity and Playmaker but covers the 2d animation system amongst other things.
This is just one small section listed below.
Set up a 2D character with animations
Import a single sprite
Import multiple sprites
Create animations using Unity Animation tools
Create animations using a sprite sheet
Change animations in the game with control
Set up animations in the animator
Set up key controls in PlayMaker to update animations
There is a cost to this course $25 but I think that's reasonable for thew content.
Cheers

I would gladly pay someone $25 just to teach me how to use PlayMaker with the new 2D Animation stuff. It's been an incredibly frustrating limitation. Apparently I bought PlayMaker at the wrong time... :(
If anyone can help, please let me know.

Thanks for the mentioning @semie! I need to check this forum more often. :) If anyone has any questions regarding the course feel free to email me at brandon@pepwuper.com.
I just submitted a 2D mobile game to App Store using what we go over in this class. Here's a prototype of the game (link (http://www.onemonthgameschool.com/2014/07/playtesting-one-player-two-avatars/)) - although in the game I submitted I decided against having the 2-avatar mode.
Oh and we sent out a $10 off coupon code a while ago to the PlayMaker Facebook Page & Twitter account, feel free to use it too (code: helloplaymaker)
LMK if any questions! :)

Just scroll down, you'll find the latest tutorials explaining how to do this.

The game I created using the foundations from my 2D platformer class (https://skl.sh/2LIjTHQ) is out now on the App Store! (99% PlayMaker. The 1% = Analytics, GameCenter, iAd, part of the virtual joystick). Give it a try and let me know your thoughts! ;)
