SkelForm v0.3.0 comes with image and video exports!

• Spritesheet / Sprite sequence exporting (PNG only)
• Video (MP4/GIF) exporting, per-animation

Video export uses pre-compiled ffmpeg, which will be bundled with all future SkelForm releases. The system-wide ffmpeg may also be chosen during export.

Note: runtimes will not be responsible for handling any other export besides armatures. Most game engines already provide easy ways to use spritesheets/sequences and videos.

Hotfix

• Fixed crashing on startup due to missing color file on first launch
• Fixed crashing on zooming too far into keyframe editor

SkelForm v0.2.1 brings many stability and UI improvements, as well as a few minor features:

All:

• Toggling styles doesn't affect animations
• Toggling styles now undo-able
• Fixed crashing on 'New' armature
• Forums link updated
• Removed incorrect note on hidden integer in skf readme
• Fixed dragging vertices sometimes affecting the wrong ones
• Fixed most instances of dragging vertices being off
• Added more instances of undo/redo and fixed redo logic for certain instances
• Meshes no longer generate empty triangles
• Bulk texture import
• Imported images now trim their transparent areas
• Texture tinting
• Pixel magnification for pixelated rig support
• Texture properly scaled in atlas modal
• Sine In & Sine Out animation transitions

Web:

• Switched to WebGL only, for stability
• File inputs (importing textures, importing skfs, etc) no longer opens overlay
• UI slider only loads when editor has loaded, to prevent confusion in waiting
• (Mobile) fullscreen option on UI slider, sets page to fullscreen & switches orientation to landscape

SkelForm v0.2.0 introduces several new features for runtimes, as well stability across the board for the editor.

Runtime features:

• Styles - grouped textures based on name and list priority (for outfits & skins)
• Inverse Kinematics (FABRIK & Arc modes, clockwise & counter-clockwise constraints)
• Mesh deformation (editing vertices, adding binds, weights, & paths)
• Simultaneous animations (run 2 or more animations at once)

The runtime API has also introduced animation smoothing - smoothly transitioning between animations. The editor does not currently contain this, but the Rust, Python, and Golang runtimes support this as of writing.

Editor improvements (from v0.1.0):

• Startup window (load recent files, samples, and various resources and other links)
• Better looking armature list
• Color editors now uses egui's color picker
• Improved performance when zooming out (gridline now only drawcalls twice instead of per-line)

The first release of SkelForm!

• Armature editing
