    @JulianRice Sorry for the delay. This has been a long standing issue with Unity.
    Solutions seem to be using Accelerator or Cache Server, depending on your Unity (asset pipeline) version:
    https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityAccelerator.html
    https://docs.unity3d.com/2022.1/Documentation/Manual/CacheServer.html

    It's somewhat puzzling that they have never provided a simple Editor Preferences setting like "use separate directories" to write to a separate Library directory for each platform. This is something which many users have been using in the past, effectively switching platforms via a scripts that changes the active platform in a text file and sets the symlink from Library to the respective Library_platform directory.

      JulianRice Unfortunately, our Unity expert, Harald, is currently on an extended leave of absence, and he may be able to give some additional advice when he returns, but with the members we have now, it would be difficult to give more advice than Spinebot has already answered. (He is actually scheduled to return next month, so we may not be able to advise you in time for your project).

        • Dans Spine 4.2 imports PSDs directly, no Photoshop scripts needed

          We've just released 4.2.10-beta where we've added the ability for the Spine editor to process PSDs directly. This is great for many reasons:

          • You are no longer forced to use Photoshop -- use any image editor that can save a PSD file.
          • All the tags from the PhotoshopToSpine script are supported.
          • It is much faster! On a large PSD (200MB, 215 layers) it finishes in about 25% of the time (6 seconds versus 23) compared to the PhotoshopToSpine script.
          • Process the PSD and import into Spine in one step.

          To try it out, go to Import Data and choose a PSD file:
           Loading Image

          There are other great things in the 4.2.10-beta changelog. Constraint folders make it easier to use and organize physics constraints. Draw order folders make it easier to organize your slots so you don't have one very long list to deal with.

          Edit: If you're using Photoshop and want to use features that can't be supported by Spine's PSD import, such as layer styles or adjustment layers, then you just need to use those features inside a smart object. Photoshop stores the image that results from the smart object in a way that Spine can read.

          • Dans New export shell scripts

            Use our new shell scripts to export all your projects at once! The scripts search for .spine project files and export each project found. Each project can use different export settings by placing an export settings file next to the project file.

            Using a script to export has many advantages:

            • Export any number of project files all at once.
            • Your exports always use the correct settings. No need to rely on animators to use the right settings each time.
            • Your software's build process can run the export scripts, ensuring every build always has the latest exports. Animators don't need to remember to perform exports after every change to the project files.
            • When updating to a newer Spine version, all your projects must be exported again. When you have export scripts setup, this is very easy!

            Here's a video showing how to use the scripts, or keep reading for textual step-by-step instructions:

          • Dans Losing Color due to CanvasGroup-Compatible Setting for SkeletonGraphic

            Harald @JulianRice Please note the following sentence in the documentation here.

            "Any SkeletonGraphic component using this CanvasGroup compatible material needs to also have Advanced - PMA Vertex Colors disabled to avoid a double-darkening effect of semi-transparent parts."

            Could you please check whether this resolves your issue?

            JulianRice Wow, I looked into disabling Advanced - PMA Vertex Colors in the SkeletonGraphic component and it looked like it worked. Thanks! ✅

            We have just added a warning that is displayed in the SkeletonGraphic Inspector when this problematic combination of settings is detected, hopefully this helps to avoid future problems down the road. New spine-unity 4.1 and 4.2-beta unitypackages are available for download here as usual:

                • Dans Losing Color due to CanvasGroup-Compatible Setting for SkeletonGraphic

                  @JulianRice Sorry to hear you're having troubles. Please note the following sentence in the documentation here.

                  "Any SkeletonGraphic component using this CanvasGroup compatible material needs to also have Advanced - PMA Vertex Colors disabled to avoid a double-darkening effect of semi-transparent parts."

                  Could you please check whether this resolves your issue?

                  In general you should only enable CanvasGroup compatible at a SkeletonGraphic material when you're placing the skeleton as child below a CanvasGroup with alpha (transparency) set to a value lower than 1.0.
