ProtoShape 2D - Editor extension to easy create and edit 2D meshes

Hi Andrii. Does your asset have an ability to easy create primitives like circles or rectangles?
I mean if I need a simple circle with specifiс radius, do i need to manually create points and build curves to match circle? Or maybe you have any tool to do it in few clicks?

 

At this moment ProtoShape2D doesn't have tools to create primitives.

I have another, much simpler asset that is not related with ProtoShape2D and stands on its own that lets you create some primitives.

 

Ok. Does ProtoShape 2D also work in UI (Canvas) space?

 

No, not at the moment. This feature may be added in the future but right now it only works in the scene space, since it was initially intented to prototype/make 2D game levels.

 

Thanks for answers. I have another one) Does it interact with masks as SpriteRenderer do?

 

No, not at the moment. I'll try to get this working in the future but I can't say when I'll be able to.
But yeah, it would be super useful to implement this.

 

Hi again. I have worked with your asset for a while. Here are some my notices:

1. When I click (w/o shift) on one of currently selected points other selected points remain selected. That is something that never should exist anywhere) To select it alone I have disable selection by clicking any other point out of selection.
2. Seems there is no full work with prefab system.
a) When in prefab editor mode if you save it and want to see results in game view it wont show up. Need to reload scene to see changes.
b) When you select prefab in inspector view and change any value of ProtoShape compenent it wont mark up as rewritten value, and you cant aplly it to prefab instance.
3. When using gradient and changing alpha of color1 to zero, color2 also fades out to zero (but some polygons can be still shown)
4. No multiselection editing
5. Low scripting options. I had to write my own methods to set color, set gradient etc...

Some things that would be great:
1. Show a list of points with its coords in inspector with edit option
2. Full work with canvas space. For ex. changing alpha with canvas group compenent
3. Radial gradient option
4. Working with masks

 

Thank you for summing this up! This is really good! I'll try to address everything on this list as soon as possible.

 

Version 1.28 is up.

• Added sprite masks support (Beta).
• Added a way to manually drag object's pivot (wanted to do this for a long time now).
  
• I've also took your suggestion about clicking on selected point.

This doesn't reproduce for me. I think I've fixed it in one of previous updates.

I didn't add this but for some time now in ProtoShape2DEditor.cs there's a piece of code (search for pPositions var) that you can uncomment to expose the points in inspector. It's not a good solution but it's there at the moment.

 

This is really great. Love that there is an outline feature, but would it also be possible to be able to set the outline to inside or outside the shape? And possibly also corner options?

 

Thanks for choosing my asset!
I will possibly add these features in the future but this won't be very soon.

 

Is there any way to make shape corners round/bevel?

 

I'm sorry but no, not at the moment.

 

Hi Andrii,

Is it easily possible to modify a shape at runtime? If YES, is it optimized? Are Tris and Verts calculation done on main thread or Job System/Threading?

 

It is possible to modify points at runtime. The calculations are done in a regular Update(). So, in the main thread.
It's an interesting idea to optimize this, even though the asset was not intended for such use.

 

Hi Andrii,

Is it possible to cut holes in a mesh.. for example, making a shape like donut or cutting a circle out of a big square mesh

 

Hi Andrii,
i've just bougth PhotoShape 2D and i've got this problem.
When i add an object, it create the polygon on the scene, but i don't have the "handle point" to drag the vertex, neither i can add points.

i'm using unity 2020.3.18

 

just to know, on 2020.2.x it works, can you fix it for 2020.3.x?

thanks so much

 

Solved myself, that was something in my project, with a new one it works flawless, thanks for your great job

 

There's a problem in 2021.2.5 where the scene view control falls off the bottom.
Thankfully I was able to fix this myself by editing ProtoShape2DEditor.cs (search for "//EditorWindow")

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. change this on line 1452:
3. Camera.current.pixelRect.height/EditorGUIUtility.pixelsPerPoint-45,
4.  
5. to this:
6. Camera.current.pixelRect.height/EditorGUIUtility.pixelsPerPoint-65,
7.  
8. basically just change the -45 into -65

@Andrii could you update your code to cope for newer unity versions please? thanks!

 

I've had a lot of problems with pivot position with ProtoShape2D recently, and I wonder whether something changed with Unity 2021. The pivot seems to move after placing it manually. If I have the protoshape rotated 90 to be aligned with the floor, the lines will all move to a new location when the pivot is moved. It's very chaotic and pretty broken.
@Andrii can you help?
