Just watched your video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOEBjAdJxUk

Do you have internal yotube events =)? Yesterday I was waiting more than 1 hour while youtube process that video, run out of patience and went to sleep and didn't post it here. Now I've added it at first post.

today i'm working on new cool features. Just done AvatarMask

It used in animator.E.g. when you want to combine several animation or don't want to animate one bone of character.

Thanks for feedback.
meanwhile i fixed 2 bugs.

1. Unity can't animate game objects with forward slashes in names (temp fix: replaced / to |)
2. Wrong sequence in slot animation fixed.

take new package here

No. You don't need project files. Jus move 3 export files. Json export, atlas.png, atlas.atlas metadata.

as i see regionsequence is not implemented yiet, because of that you're getting this error.
Just region(image) and boundingbox(collider) supported right now.

new version v0.3 released.

New Features:

• Update existing animation instead of creation new one's.
  Now if you will reimport spine data, you can choose, recreate new animation and animators, or just replace existing animation keyframes

• Smooth Curves, partial support. (not all Bezier curves can be transferred in to the unity, but it's better than nothing =), or linear animation)

BugFix:

• rotation animation, full round fix

take latest version here

This is amazing! thank you very much!

thanks.

I've just recorded video (also included it in the first message) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MfUAelg9hQ here i show my project with animator. Hopes that it will answer the main Nate question - "why to use animator" =).

Hi Nate. First of all sorry for my english, sometimes i'm telling not the same what I think in russian =).

I don't want to blame unity-runtimes, and i more than sure that native runtime should work faster, and even if in any cases mecanim will be faster you will find the way how to optimise it.

Main reason why i made this package, because it's should be easier for artists to work with animator, than to go in to code and make some changes there.

here is a code which I made for that model in the second video
https://gist.github.com/nicloay/9002437

and here is default state machine
 Loading Image

it support following features

• walk

• run

• run/walks depends on speed

• in air up

• in air down (depends on velocity)

• punch left

• [combo] punch left, right

• [combo] punch left, right, upper-cut

• roll out

• throw (from any state)

• complex jump with

maybe something else.

Don't forget that if you want to adjust some transition, or blending animation, you don't need to go to code, you can do that in the editor using native features.

Now just tell how many things you need to do as a programmer if you first time opened unity and trying to make something similar with spine-runtime. Sorry, i've tried just import to spine-runtime, but didn't tried to make any controllers.

Nate a écrit

everything you did can be done with spine-unity.
...
Have you tested performance difference on mobile devices?

as i told before, you're right, spine-runtime should be faster, but almost everything you need to do through the code.

Nate a écrit

Is it possible to use the state machine / flow chart stuff to trigger code? If so, you could use it to set animations using spine-unity.

No, i don't think so, in animator, you define state and provide animation for that state. But, from animation(which is native unity animation) you can. (more details here)

Sorry, i can't make performance test right now, and will be happy if someone will did.

upd1.
I forgot to tell that in video, but there is one more thing. Because of using native sprites, for each sprite unique mesh generated, which reduce number of empty pixels what is good for renderer and increase performance
 Loading Image
Probably you can achieve the similar if you will define meshes for each sprite in unity.

Do you mean slot order animation? no currently it doesn't work

Is this project still in development? Hoping it isn't dead, going to give it a try tonight!

I didn't work on this importer for the last month. But if you have any critical bugs, (not a feature like FFD) i'm ready to fix them.

Hi Nicloay,
Just found your Run time today and it looks really good i have run into a slight problem though. When i hit generate to make my Prefabs, i get this

SpineMultiatlasCreationException: provided file does not exists
UnitySpineImporter.SpineMultiatlas.deserializeFromFile (System.String multiatlasFilePath) (at Assets/UnitySpineImporter/Scripts/Editor/Model/Spine/Atlas/SpineMultialtas.cs:19)
UnitySpineImporter.SpineImporterWizard.OnWizardCreate () (at Assets/UnitySpineImporter/Scripts/Editor/SpineImporterWizard.cs:60)
UnityEngine.Debug:LogException(Exception)
UnitySpineImporter.SpineImporterWizardnWizardCreate() (at Assets/UnitySpineImporter/Scripts/Editor/SpineImporterWizard.cs:82)
UnityEditor.HostViewnGUI()

Im following the tutorial exactly but im still getting this message?
any tips?

Hi PaulMcG,
Could you share xml and json files, and I will check why it doesn't work.
And please note that you don't need to rename spine generated files, xml,json and png.
Аs I remember xml and json should have the same names, like
AABB.json AABB.xml.

Also you can check your xxxx.atlas file, it hase a name of png file inside, like

Kevin.png
format: RGBA8888
filter: Linear,Linear
repeat: none
Leg_L/foot_l
...

which mean that Kevin.png should be located in the same folder.
This file can have several links to images, just searh by "format" keyword, and png file will be above that row.

Hi Nicloay,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, Files are attached.

Hope its something simpleskeleton.jsonskeleton.atlas.txt

try to rename skeleton.atlas.txt to skeleton.atlas at first.
My importer take json name and trying to search atlas file with the same name and *.atlas extension. unlike of original spine runtime, this importer doesn't use input files and generate prefabs, so it's not needed to make assets with that data.

PaulMcG, i found several issues.
1 - atlas file has a new property, so the problem was to correct parse input data. [fixed, release it soon]
2 - Problem on unity side: it's not possible to add curve with one keyframe [working on it]

upd1: you can take latest version here (currently it's 0.3.1)
Don't forget to rename txt extension from .atlas file. Also you will see many errors because of your animation has just one frame, don't worry about them pose should be fine.
I asked about that on unity forum. If i will find how to fix that, I'll do that. problem is that this error comes from unity c++ side.

With Paul project found one more bug (no slot attachments gave an error)
fixed in v0.3.2 version

Hi nicloay,
Using your latest version, I'm getting the following:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

It still creates the skeleton, but the heirarchy of bones on the skeleton appear to be in the wrong order. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Running version 1.8.41 of Spine.

Thanks,
Marc

Hi Marc,
Could you show your .json and .atlas file.

rxmarcus a écrit

Sure, sorry should have posted before, here you go.

Hi Marc,
Thanks for files, found the issue quite fast. The reason of null pointer is that you don't have any animation.
Fixed that in new version v0.3.3, you can grab it here
