An update should come automatically if you close ShoeBox, or download ShoeBox_2.1.0 some fixes: Not included but in development is a Slice-9 or patch-9 grabber and exporter For those that don't know: Slice-9 components are images with slice definitions that can scale without loosing proportions like so: I plan on having…
@Eric: Yeah those multiple sections are because of a uneven gradient / threshold in the settings. That's why I want manual input so you can override or exclude some parts. But in the Android app "9-Patch App" which is part of the Android SDK this would be perfectly doable. It would just distribute the stretch to all sub -…
You're awesome. I haven't used these tools, but your updates are great to see! The term "slice-9"... is this yours, or a standard from elsewhere? How does the large red button example work? Are the multiple rows scaled together to semi-preserve the smooth gradient?
* 9-Slice is a term Macromedia (now Adobe) coined with Flash and Fireworks * Patch-9 is something I never heard before but is used in the Android world. Either way this is already a old concept. As per request, here is an example of what that red button would behave or look like in different sizes The corner pieces remain…
@Allaze-eroler: Yes already planned before - I got a basic FBX and OBJ parser in the works. Definitely something I need soon at work for a Unity Project. I made some progress with my automatic slice-9 (or any slice setup for that matter) detection and realtime resize preview I am using it right now for some website CSS…
A recent game that I worked on and where i used ShoeBox every day was Lynx Lunar Racer. The game was build using Unity and NGUI as UI framework. The fonts in particular were tricky and there was some new stuff I wrote for the bitmap font tool before and after the project. I also used quite a lot the 9-slide tool in ShoeBox…
Yes I am using AS3 and FlashDevelop, no fancy expensive Adobe software. Here is a screengrab I just use the FlexSDK (odd name), its the open source SDK to compile AS3 AIR or SWF content. I used the flashdevelop templates and bat scripts to build and test the AIR apps. What I like about AIR so far for ShoeBox is that it is…
You are doing amazing things, I love this tool! :D The split example shows some of the elements have been cropped losing information they had in the psd version, noticeable one is the rounded slider on the bottom right. Seems to have extracted the shadows properly but has cropped the handle to the bounds of the sliders…
