Nutjob Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hi, I'm new to Spriter so this may may be a really silly question but I'm wondering if it's possible to "grow" a sprite without changing the size of the sprite. By grow I mean make more of the sprite visible as the timeline moves on. I know fade ins are possible from reading a part of the forum just now so I may experiment with that but that would mean just one part of the sprite appearing or disappearing right? Can a simple effect like a spiral slowly drawing itself onscreen be possible in Spriter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at BrashMonkey Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm afraid not without a lot of tricky work... for example, creating your growing vine out of a bunch of sequentially placed green images that you stretch for a bit before spawning the next one which will continue where it left off but change direction.

Nutjob Posted February 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 thanks mike.....since i want this for animated gifs instead of code maybe the following can be a workaround if I am willing to sacrifice transparency? using a sprite thats the same color as the bg and adjusting z-order and simple transforms on it to change the visibility of the sprite underneath? Still a lot of work I know but maybe not so much for simple images? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at BrashMonkey Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 yes, that would definitely work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
