FFD + Skins

MichelVictor

Well, what I am trying to do is simple:

I have a character that have FFD distortion, but I want to change his clothes and hair things like that, but each image has your own size and really different shape, there is a way to make a FFD animation for each skin?

The way I'm doing is that each part of the character, uses their own same image size.
So let's say I have a sleeve on top of the arm, all the sleeves of this arm have the same image size.
I animate this mesh and after by code we swap the asset of the same type. So this method is not using the Skin feature but instead done by code "magic".

Hope it make sense, cheers!

We are facing a decision for this also, and I think the options are:
1) Animate every single mesh separately per slot with no skins and change out the items in game.
2) Use all the same sized images and meshes for each slot and use linked mesh option (probably not practical and very limiting)

Animating the "skin" doesn't make much sense, so I'm not sure what you meant there. Our character has 20 or more animations, so animating FFD in all those animations times the equipment options is something like 400 animated meshes and not practical. We're considering just sucking it up and having to make each slot the same mesh so that we can use the newer linked mesh option.

A few facts that may help you make a good decision on your setup:
(1) Deform animations only animate the mesh you used to create that animation in Spine editor.
Two separate meshes will not share that deformation. It doesn't matter if they're in the same slot, or the same skin placeholder.

(2) Spine has Linked meshes. Linked Meshes are special meshes that are "duplicated and linked" from an original mesh but can use a different image. If you make changes to the shape of the linked mesh, you are actually editing the original mesh. These meshes are able to share deform animations, but you can also uncheck a checkbox so each can have their own separate deform animations. Linked meshes can be in different skins.

(3) Different meshes can be weighted to the same bones but with different weights.

@MichaelVictor In other words, what you want is what happens by default. Nothing is shared between meshes unless you specifically want to share it.

I recommend checking out Meshes - Spine User Guide which now has both videos done. I go over linked meshes with an animated flag that uses birth deform keys and weights.
