DanTsukasa Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hey Guys I just want to say, Spriter is amazing, I love it, currently I'm doing some tests with it for my new game, I backed it during the kickstarter but only recently had a project I was able to use it with, however I've a few small questions, I've searched about but nobody else seems to have asked the question. When exporting my spriter animation and importing it into my engine of choice via plugin (unity in this case), are the bones exported along with the animation or does the exported file simply contain all the baked positions/rotations etc and from there I'm able to swap it out, or does it contain everything from my spriter project essentially? How much control do I have over the bones in engine, what I'd really like to do is use the Inverse Kinematics to say, place a characters legs correctly on different terrains, with something like steps I'd be able to create an additional animation, however with terrain the angles are always going to be different, so being able to adjust the legs during runtime according to slope angle would have a lot less overhead than constantly detecting if I should be playing a different animation. I hope these things are, if not possible now, are in the future, and I apologize if someone else has asked a very similar question and I haven't noticed it.

Trumgottist Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I can't say anything about the state of the Unity plugin (I've never used it - my plan is to eventually add Spriter support to my own engine), but the general answer to your question is yes. It's certainly possible for a game engine to "have fun with" the animations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at BrashMonkey Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Thanks for the kind words and support, DanTsukasa. For answers specificially about Spriter2Unity I highly recommend contacting Malhavok either on his thread on these forums, or even better by directly contacting him through his project page.
