ChangeLog: New Features: • Added "attractor" deformation system to allow deformation with arbitrary configurations of deformation handles. The deformation system is integrated into the facing grid, and also separately animatable on timelines. This feature is new and hasn't been dogfooded yet, so expect bugs and more more detailed tutorials in the future • Added sketch to pose feature to pose yo…
ChangeLog: Hierarchy and IK: • Added animatable toggle rotation inheritance (toggle button in selected part dialog). • Added animatable toggle to anchor IKs to their target, keeping the character planted to the ground for instance without being able to lift them away from the ik targets (toggle button in selected IK target dialog). • Added animatable IK influence (slider in the selected IK dial…
ChangeLog: · Added animatable z-order · Added bone visualization button on bottom right · Automatic bone visualization while adjusting pivots and handles · Began work on multi-character/multi-file workflows (Coming soon...)

Hello everyone! We've just released our latest build. This update completes the UI overhaul detailed in our previous announcement, with further refinements to window docking and general usability. We've also implemented significant backend improvements that will enable faster development moving forward, and these backend improvements also include the foundation for the new EntityPort animation…
Hello everyone. Apologies for the extended silence. We're releasing our next update build on December 20th. The most visible change is the UI overhaul. As many of you have requested, we have moved from the previous minimalist UI with most features hidden in right-click menus, to a more standard UI where all available tools and functions are now always visible on screen. There's now hover hints…
Thanks for your patience everyone. Our upcoming builds will have some major new feature changes and enhancements, and some long requested changes to workflow. These changes are taking a bit longer than we'd hoped, but we are still working hard on the next build. We don't have an ETA just yet, but after the next build is released we expect to return to releasing builds roughly every two to three…
0.9.7.6 Change Log Additions · Added a default easing curve option in the status bar while in Animation Mode. This automatically sets the easing curve for newly created keyframes. · Added keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2 to skip to the previous and next frames in Animation Mode, respectively. (The keys 1 and 2 without Ctrl already skip to the previous and next keyframes.) · Added the abilit…

0.9.7.4 Change Log Changes and Enhancements · Updated core systems to lay the groundwork for upcoming enhancements. Bug Fixes · Resolved several stability issues related to hierarchy modifications. · Fixed various bugs that caused errors during load and save operations. Known issues · Non-mesh children of strokes don't update in real-time when using ik · Visual bug when images armed for adding…
0.9.7.3 Change Log Bug Fixes · Fixed a bug where dragging a bone to adjust length (ctrl-shift-click) would adjust all bone lengths instead of just the selected bone · Fixed a bug where you could alter the selection while a mesh was armed for adding a swappable image, resulting in unpredictable behaviour Known issues · Non-mesh children of strokes don't update in real-time when using ik · Visual…
0.9.7.2 Change Log Bug Fixes · Fixed a bug where video exports were locked to the frame length of the animation, ignoring framerate export settings · Fixed a bug when loading some projects, which led to irregular behavior in specific meshes under certain conditions · Fixed a visual bug where undoing or redoing changes to a the rigging cage for meshes wouldn't update the cage on screen Known iss…
0.9.7.0 Change Log Changes and Enhancements · Increased the minimum distance required to initiate a drag action, reducing accidental drags when trying to click and select. Bug Fixes · Resolved an issue where meshes would appear black when repositioning in rigging mode after loading a project. · Addressed a bug causing animation playback to continue when switching to rigging mode or test rig mod…
0.9.6.5 Change Log Additions · You can now trigger a recalculation of rigging zones by selecting a mesh that is attached to multiple bones, and pressing M (hold shift to force a simplified recalculation that is independent of the mesh size) · When a mesh is attached to a parent that has defined rigging zones, any vertices not included in these zones will be highlighted in red Changes and Enhanc…
Hello everyone. We will try to get out another small update before Christmas next Friday, but if not, our next update will be January 5th. We're closing in on the feature complete beta, focusing on fixing the remaining bugs and polishing the final elements for a smooth user experience. This update is a bit modest in scope, but much of our efforts this cycle were channeled into the Unity runtime…

Additionally, we've improved rigging workflows for greater flexibility. 0.9.5 Change Log Changes and Enhancements · Enhanced rigging workflow flexibility · Enabled detaching objects from bones · Added functionality to remove mesh deformers · Introduced the ability to apply mesh deformers both pre and…
Hello everyone. We've made significant behind-the-scenes changes in our latest release. We’ve restructured project files, separating runtime and editor data, which is a substantial step towards both the feature complete beta and the first runtimes. We also implemented a comprehensive project file testing and troubleshooting framework to ensure file input/output is as reliable as possible. This…
We're pushing this release back to the next cycle in 2 weeks. We've laid the groundwork for the Unity plugin, but no ETA for that just yet. The focus of this upcoming release will be on allowing more flexibility in workflow, specifically in regards to the order of actions, as we close in on the feature-complete beta. Sorry for the delay and thanks for your patience.
0.9.4 Change Log Additions · Added a shortcut 'H' to hide the multi-drag gizmo and manipulate multi-selected objects without multi-dragging them Bug Fixes · Fixed a critical issue affecting the resize selection option in the multi-drag widget while in rigging mode, particularly when one or more bones are parented to a mesh · Resolved a critical issue affecting the Revert and Key functions when…

Just a quick heads up, everyone. Normally Spriter 2 alpha releases are every two weeks. Taking an extra week to finish up this UI overhaul. 0.9.3 should arrive roughly next Friday.
