Combining Skins in Editor

Tseirp

Hi,

I was wondering is there a good way to combine multiple skins into one unified skin, for example in mix and match sample (http://esotericsoftware.com/spine-examples-mix-and-match), I can pin each part within the spine editor, but how do I combine all the pinned parts into one unified skin, similar to "boy" or "girl" skin, as in a "custom" skin.

The reason I want to do that is, I'm making several parts for my customer skins, this mix and match help a lot in separating each part animations, but I don't want random combination of parts. I want to mix and match the parts that looks good and I'll make it as a skin for our programmer to select. Because if not combined, it'll need a database for possible combination which is not convenient for our workflows.

Thank you

Erika

Hello! If you want to have several premade skins you can do this.

I suggest to activate "Show all skins attachments" (a.k.a. God mode as I like to call it) as it lets you see all the attachments under the same skin placeholder at the same time.
Blog: Spine 3.8 released: New tree settings

This way you can create a new skin, then duplicate the attachments you want from other skins and drag them in your new skin directly from the tree quite easily.

You could also just list the combinations that can go together for your programmer if you don't feel like creating these combinations.

Hey Thanks Erika! It helps a lot in duplicating attachments 😃

Wish I could select which skin is shown, not all skins. Because when I try in example project, all skins were shown at once, not the skins that I want to duplicate, making it to cluttered to select the attachment. It's manageable for now, hope it'll be considered for next update :smirk:

Your suggestion has been heard! We've added it to our tracker for a future enhancement to the editor, thank you!

Hello! Any updates here? Have you added a way to see only selected skins or any other method to combine multiple skins into one?

Astra No, there has been no particular progress. There are a few related issue tickets other than the one Erika posted, so I'll introduce them here:
EsotericSoftware/spine-editor771
EsotericSoftware/spine-editor562
There are several ideas for improving the skins, but in 4.2 the features related to skins have not changed much. The major changes for skins in 4.2 are that the UI for the buttons used to add and remove skins has changed, and the display of items contained in multiple skins in the tree view has changed to show the number of skins.
I think that related issues will be considered together when making improvements to the skin in the future.

Thank you for replying!
