Resprite DA v1.29.0 focuses on precision drawing and production workflow.
This update brings perspective grids, WebP support, a more informative gallery, and refined transform and grid controls to help you plan complex scenes and export assets more efficiently.
Perspective grids: One-point, two-point, three-point, and fisheye grids help you construct scenes with accurate depth and vanishing points, while still keeping a clean pixel look.
WebP workflow: Export, save as, and edit WebP still images and animations, combining small file sizes with fast decoding and lossless/animation support.
Smarter gallery: File type badges and type filters make it easier to browse large libraries and quickly locate the assets you need (desktop).
Better grid & transform controls: Assistant Grids settings, snapping scale ratios, and improved drag behaviour give you more control when aligning shapes and composition.
Added perspective grids:
One-point perspective – ideal for corridors, roads, and scenes facing straight-on.
Two-point perspective – suitable for corners, buildings, and angled streets.
Three-point perspective – useful for high/low-angle shots and dramatic layouts.
Fisheye perspective – for curved, wide-angle distortions.
Added an “Assistant Grids” settings page:
Existing canvas grid options are moved here for a more focused experience.
Perspective grid options are now configurable in one place, so you can tailor guides to your project.
Added a contextual floating toolbar:
Symmetry tools and grid options have been moved into this toolbar.
The old grid settings dialog has been removed to reduce clutter and keep controls close to the canvas.
Added support to export, save as, and edit WebP images, including WebP animations.
WebP is a good fit for game assets and web delivery:
Smaller file sizes help speed up downloads.
Fast decoding improves runtime performance.
Supports both lossless images and animated content.
Screen picker (desktop only):
Sample colours from anywhere on your screen, including UI outside Resprite.
Helpful for matching palettes with reference material, other tools, or web pages.
File type badges in Welcome and Gallery views:
Quickly distinguish between project types and formats at a glance.
Reduces the chance of opening the wrong file when browsing large libraries.
Gallery file type filter (desktop):
Filter the gallery by file type to focus on specific projects.
Ideal for separating animation files, reference projects, or working assets.
“Crop to Canvas” in the Sprite menu:
Trims content outside the canvas bounds in a single action.
Useful for cleaning up imported assets or sketches that extend beyond the working area.
Proportional scaling improvements:
Shows the scale ratio when scaling a selection proportionally.
Snaps to integer multiples, including 1/2 and 1/3, for quick precise scaling.
More intuitive drag behaviour:
Hold Ctrl while dragging to perform center-symmetric drag.
Hold Shift while dragging to keep proportional scaling.
Default theme is now fixed to the standard theme, instead of being assigned randomly on first launch.
This helps new users build familiarity with the UI and documentation.
Refined localization and corrected multiple strings to improve consistency across languages.
Preview window flip buttons now accurately reflect their current state, reducing confusion when checking mirrored animations.
This release also includes important fixes to keep Resprite DA stable for long sessions:
Fixed: “Crop Borders” did not remove invisible layers.
Fixed: Fill tool did not immediately update layer thumbnails.
Fixed: Potential out-of-memory (OOM) when rendering the background checkerboard; also improved performance.
Fixed: Frame index out-of-range errors in certain edge cases.
Fixed: Null pointer exceptions caused by async operations on preview images.
Fixed: Pressing Esc now closes dropdown popups before closing dialogs.
Fixed: Pressing Esc now properly clears focus from text input fields.
Fixed: Vibration permission issues on some Android brands.
Fixed: Merging visible layers could create orphan layers.
Fixed: Startup failure on Windows when the user’s “Documents” folder does not exist.
Fixed: Layout could be lost when only the canvas window remained in a split view.
Fixed: Timeline layer name bar could overflow the window when the window was narrow.
Fixed: Gaps could appear along brush edges when drawing on some DPR configurations.
