lucid Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Thanks everyone for your continued patience during what proved to be a very long and often delayed Spriter 2 development process so far. Now that the research part of Spriter 2's R & D is complete, we're finally able to switch to a consistent development cycle. We've released a new alpha today and there should be a new build released roughly every 2 weeks from here on out. The current build is very bare-bones with several known issues (see changelog), but each subsequent build will introduce new features, bug fixes, and/or other improvements at a regular pace until Spriter 2 reaches a stable and feature complete release. This build introduces a new workflow with separate modes for rigging and animation. We've temporarily removed strokes for this build as we shifted over to this more final workflow paradigm. Strokes will be reintroduced in an upcoming build and able to take full advantage of the new rigging system, which will give much more control over how your image is mapped to your strokes. In the meantime, we have a bare-bones version of the new pin system, which will also be expanded in subsequent builds. Additional Release info: Spriter Pro owners can access the Spriter 2 forums for more information (or here if you own Spriter Pro on Steam). bwwd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwd Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Great, any video tutorials about it ? I tried to grasp it but its walk in the dark as of right now. I hope quality of the export will be similar to original spriter, i mean i tried dragonbones and other stuff but once you go into mesh mode then mesh becomes blurry on export, with spriter i figured out to upscale my art ( bodyparts) to 200% AFTER i setup meshes , this way it gets sharper when animating and after export.Its a little trick but gets great results. Im not sure what happens under the hood, maybe it would be good to upscale with xbr 2x or linear internally in spriter before export, this way we will get cleanest lines possible. I think it is important for pixel art, maybe not with png artwork but still, would be great to have no loss of sharpness when going into mesh mode.

Jonybir Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 after doing as instructed the option in drop down menu to try spriter 2 has not shown up.

Its been a long really long wait. https://gyazo.com/03644b3561803021a7767e57a92651a5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose this and Steam will replace Spriter pro with the Spriter 2 alpha. The next few update alpha builds won't be usable for actual projects, as we are introducing each core feature and then incorporating it with the previous feature. A lot has been done for all core features under the hood and individually, but it will be a while until it can all be brought together and tied in with the UI necessary to access all the features properly. New Alpha builds are now released roughly every two weeks, so you should see tangible progress on a regular and frequent basis. Thanks as always very much for your support and patience and we do apologize for the large delays on the way to Spriter 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will download the latest code into itself automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
