+=================
 Importing Sprites
 =================
 
+Crown includes a dedicated spritesheet importer with slicing capabilities that
+let you quickly create Units from images containing sprites arranged in rows
+and columns. When importing a new spritesheet, it is recommended to create a
+dedicated target folder first. The importer generates multiple output files
+(sprites, units, materials etc.), so keeping them together makes the project
+easier to manage.
+
 .. image:: images/import_sprite.png
+
+Sprite Importer overview
+------------------------
+
+The importer window is split into a preview area, a slicing view, and a panel
+with import options:
+
+The top-left corner contains two tabs:
+
+* ``Preview``: shows how the sprite will look after import.
+* ``Slices``: displays a grid view to help you choose slicing parameters.
+
+The panel on the right holds slicing parameters and options for rendering and
+phyisics. Most of these settings can be changed after import, so you do not
+need to get everything perfect on the first pass.
+
+Slicing the spritesheet
+-----------------------
+
+Slicing defines how the image is split into individual sprite cells.
+
+* ``Cells``: set the number of columns (X) and rows (Y). This creates an X by
+  Y grid of equally sized cells.
+* ``Auto Size``: when checked, Crown computes the cell size automatically.
+  Uncheck it to enter cell width and height manually.
+* ``Offset``: shift the entire grid horizontally and vertically when cells are
+  not aligned to the image origin.
+* ``Spacing``: add horizontal and vertical spacing between cells when the
+  spritesheet contains padding.
+
+Adjust the grid in the ``Slices`` tab and verify results in the ``Preview``
+tab before importing.
+
+Pivot (sprite origin)
+---------------------
+
+Choose the sprite origin with the ``Pivot`` combobox. The preview area shows
+the pivot position so you can pick the point that makes placement and
+rotation easier.
+
+.. image:: images/sprite_pivot.svg
+
+Collision and physics
+---------------------
+
+By default Crown generates a collider and physics parameters every time you
+import a sprite. Disable collision generation by unchecking the ``Collision``
+option if you only need a visual unit.
+
+Crown supports three collider shapes for sprites:
+
+* ``Square``
+* ``Circle``
+* ``Capsule``
+
+Use the ``Shape Type`` buttons to switch between them. By default the collider
+is fitted to the cell rectangle determined during slicing. To customize the
+collider:
+
+* Uncheck ``Mirror Cell`` to stop the collider from mirroring the cell bounds.
+* Edit ``Shape Data`` to input collider sizes manually.

+==================
 Importing Textures
 ==================
+
+Textures are usually added to the project indirectly by higher-level
+importers (for example when :ref:`Importing Scenes` or :ref:`Importing
+Sprites`). You can also import images as standalone textures when you need it
+for UI, materials, or other specialized uses.
+
+When you import a texture, Crown copies the source image into
+the :ref:`project <project>` and creates a ``.texture`` resource file with
+the same name. The ``.texture`` resource stores processing settings for each
+target platform (compression, mipmaps etc.). Crown uses the ``.texture`` file
+at compile time to produce optimized GPU-ready assets.
+
+Open the :ref:`Texture Settings` tool to review or modify processing options.

+================
+Texture Settings
+================
+
+The Texture Settings dialog lets you customize how Crown processes a texture
+for each target platform. To open it, double-click a texture in the
+:ref:`Project Browser`; Crown will display a dialog similar to this:
+
+.. image:: images/texture_settings_dialog.png
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+On the left, the ``Target Platform`` list shows the platforms you can
+configure. Select one or more platforms to edit their settings
+simultaneously. Use ``Left Ctrl`` to select or deselect multiple entries.
+
+After selecting platforms, the settings on the right update to reflect the
+current values. If the selected platforms have different values for a given
+option, a dash symbol (—) appears to indicate the inconsistency:
+
+.. image:: images/texture_settings_inconsistent_format.svg
+
+Output
+------
+
+Output settings control how Crown processes the source image into GPU-ready
+assets. These settings are applied per platform so you can accommodate each
+platform's performance and form-factor constraints.
+
+Format
+~~~~~~
+
+Choose the output format appropriate for the texture type and platform:
+
+* ``BC1``: RGB color with 1-bit alpha; good for opaque color maps.
+* ``BC2``: RGB color with 4-bits alpha.
+* ``BC3``: RGB color with full alpha.
+* ``BC4``: Single-channel (grayscale); useful for heightmaps, font atlases etc.
+* ``BC5``: Two-channel BC4 useful for tangent-space normal maps.
+* ``PTC14``: RGB compressed format.
+* ``RGB8``: Uncompressed RGB (8-bits per channel).
+* ``RGBA8``: Uncompressed RGBA (8-bits per channel).
+
+For a technical reference on BCn formats, see `Understanding BCn Texture Compression Formats <https://web.archive.org/web/20260120185114/https://www.reedbeta.com/blog/understanding-bcn-texture-compression-formats/>`_.
+
+Mip-mapping
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Control mipmap generation with these options:
+
+* ``Generate Mips``: enable or disable automatic mipmap generation.
+* ``Skip Smallest Mips``: skip generation of the N smallest mip levels to save space.
+
+Other flags
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* ``Normal Map``: mark the texture as a normal map. This implies linear color
+  processing.
+* ``Linear``: treat the source as linear data. By default textures are
+  interpreted as sRGB and are converted to linear space during processing;
+  enable ``Linear`` for data textures such as normal maps, LUTs etc.
+* ``Premultiply Alpha`` - premultiply RGB by alpha before encoding. See
+  `here
+  <https://web.archive.org/web/20260110150156/https://shawnhargreaves.com/blog/premultiplied-alpha.html>`_
+  and `here
+  <https://web.archive.org/web/20260103191804/https://shawnhargreaves.com/blog/premultiplied-alpha-and-image-composition.html>`_
+  for details.
+
+Saving changes
+--------------
+
+When you are finished, click the ``Save & Reload`` button at the top right.
+Crown saves the ``.texture`` resource, compiles it for the affected
+platforms, and reloads the texture in all viewports and in the running game
+if any.

+<p>Textures are usually added to the project indirectly by higher-level
+importers (for example when <a class="reference internal" href="importing_scenes.html#importing-scenes"><span class="std std-ref">Importing Scenes</span></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="importing_sprites.html#importing-sprites"><span class="std std-ref">Importing Sprites</span></a>). You can also import images as standalone textures when you need it
+for UI, materials, or other specialized uses.</p>
+<p>When you import a texture, Crown copies the source image into
+the <a class="reference internal" href="../getting_started/basic_concepts.html#project"><span class="std std-ref">project</span></a> and creates a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.texture</span></code> resource file with
+the same name. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.texture</span></code> resource stores processing settings for each
+target platform (compression, mipmaps etc.). Crown uses the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.texture</span></code> file
+at compile time to produce optimized GPU-ready assets.</p>
+<p>Open the <a class="reference internal" href="../level_editor/texture_settings.html#texture-settings"><span class="std std-ref">Texture Settings</span></a> tool to review or modify processing options.</p>

+<p>Choose the output format appropriate for the texture type and platform:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BC1</span></code>: RGB color with 1-bit alpha; good for opaque color maps.</p></li>
+<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BC2</span></code>: RGB color with 4-bits alpha.</p></li>
+<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BC3</span></code>: RGB color with full alpha.</p></li>
+<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BC4</span></code>: Single-channel (grayscale); useful for heightmaps, font atlases etc.</p></li>
+<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BC5</span></code>: Two-channel BC4 useful for tangent-space normal maps.</p></li>
+<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PTC14</span></code>: RGB compressed format.</p></li>
+<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RGB8</span></code>: Uncompressed RGB (8-bits per channel).</p></li>
