Idea: Key Compensate

BinaryCats

Hi,

So this has recently annoyed me. I was working on a UI element with a base scale of 0.01 in set up pose, as I wanted the panel to zoom in. I make the animation and all is good.

But then I realise, due to the way our engine handles text in spine objects, I had to make the panel's scale 1.0 in the set up pose. So I changed it. Then going into my animation, and the panel was 100x bigger than I wanted, so I had to change all the keys 🙁

It would be nice to have a keys compensate button, which when selected, wouldn't alter the values in any keys in any animations.

Thoughts?

It's a neat idea, though I wonder how often it would get used.

I agree it wouldn't be the most used tool. but on this project I would have used the compensate vastly more than I have used the image compensate.

Imagine you have 25 anims, but then you realise you need an arm to be right slightly just on the set up pose, but all the anims are fine. If you move it to the right you would have to alter all the other animations. Though its true you could have an animation which shifts it to the right, but that doesn't seem like a fluid workflow 🙁

I guess it depends on you needing such a specific setup pose? You could have an animation with only keys on frame zero and apply that instead of using the setup pose.

That is true. I will explain why we needed a specific set up. We use bounding boxes to insert text into our meshes (would be nice if spine supported text 🙂 ) using bounding boxes. we grab the size of the bounding box from the setup pose and calculate the size of the text and make it fit (it can wrap and scale onto multiple lines). So the set up pose determines the size of the text. However after scaling it up in an animation, it was apparent, due to what I assume floating point fun that, the text was now the wrong size (text went outside of the text box). So to fix this I had to scale up the skeleton to it its largest size, which meant I had to change all the other scale keys 🙁

Ah, I see I posted my reply here Prevent scaling when attaching bones. in the wrong thread :/ sorry. It should have been here.

Is there some JSON magic command line rain dance tool thing I could perform? 😃

And yes, I did make an "animation" with only keys on the first frame, AND I found a fix for Unity showing the first frame as the setup pose, but having this :drunk: setup pose just feels off.
