Is it possible to bend sprites like this in Unity?

Is it possible to bend sprites like this inside Unity??

 

I needed something like that a while back and asked an author of a 3d mesh deforming system if support could be added for deforming Sprites but it seems Unity has not made is possible to change a sprites vertices, there is an OverrideGeometry method where you should be able to update a sprites vertices but it seems that it only works if called during Import as seen in this post http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/946643/spriteoverridegeometry-doesnt-work.html Not sure if Unity has fixed this in a later update, maybe someone from Unity can answer but it would seem until that method is allowed to be called from normal scripts or Unity make some changes you cant change the vertices. You may be able to do something via a custom shader or use a simple plane mesh.

 

In the experimental Unity 2D stuff there is support for skewing. You can find it at: https://bitbucket.org/Unity-Technologies/2ddemos/wiki/Alpha_Release_2
