[RELEASED] Sprite Color FX

Awesome! Thank you

 

Hey everyone,
So I'm using the Dissolve feature which really rocks, however...

It appears that I cannot select the Normal border setting without permenantly turning off the Sprite Color Dissolve - see image:



It won't let me turn it back on!

 

Hi Kai_Gil!, that error is solved and will be in the next version (which I hope to be finished this week). Meanwhile, you can write an email to hello (at) ibuprogames (dot) com and send you a fix .

Hi,

Did you try it on WindowsPhone (i'm using 8.1).
I had made a sample app, and run it on device (Lumia 920) but i dont see effect on my sprite. Output says:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. WARNING: Shader

Aaand if to use in on Android phone, the effect has no color. I see the effect itself, but its always white-ish.

 

Hi VeTaL, sorry to hear that. Can you please send us the full log when this error occurs, to hello (at) ibuprogames (dot) com?

And by the way, do tou have the latest version, 2.0.2?

Demos | Web | Asset Store​

 

Sure, i'll send it in a while.
Unfortunately, i need things to work by Friday, so i'll send you logs right after i pull them..

Another thing to consider: when i'm using your effect on the large object, i'm setting Amount to 0, but Border width to something like 50, i can see effect on the large objects.

PS: yea, i got the latest version, right from the store.

 

Ping. Any news?

 

Hi VeTaL, could you send the mail again please? We have not received anything (I've even looked at the Spam folder).

Demos | Web | Asset Store​

 

Re-sent to your mail, please check again.

 

Is it expected to make the game go to one digit FPS in an iPad retina (4th generation) ?

Runs perfectly on an iPhone 6.

Just a couple of sprites with blend mode additive and unlit shaders.

 

Hi cesarpo!

In our tests, on a Nexus 5 LG (with Adreno 330 GPU) the Blend Demo runs at 50FPS. Each effect consumes between 0.05ms and 0.1ms. So it is strange a drop of 1FPS for only a couple of sprites with Blend effect.

Can you give us more details at hello (at) ibuprogames (dot) com?

Demos | Web | Asset Store​

 

Yea, thanks, problem was solved with a lightspeed

 

New version (2.1) in the store:

• New effect 'Sprite Color Outline'.
• New demo.
• Fixed a bug with borders in SpriteColorDissolve. Now when the amount is 0, there is no border.
• API breaking changes (orthographic corrections):
  • SpriteColorDissolve.DisolveTextureType renamed to SpriteColorDissolve.DissolveTextureType.
  • SpriteColorDissolve.disolveTextureType renamed to SpriteColorDissolve.dissolveTextureType.
  • SpriteColorDissolve.disolveTexture renamed to SpriteColorDissolve.dissolveTexture.
• Small improvements.

i really loved the tool and its capabilities but i have a question.
i dont use a sprite sheet for animations, i design pieces of characters, create an atlas and animate them with mecanim in unity. what confuses me is, do i have to use an instance of effect per atlas part? is there any way to render the whole character with an effect?

 

Thanks for your interest in our asset Boorch!

For now each sprite (SpriteRenderer) needs its own effect. We are working on a way to batch them (among other things).

Demos | Web | Asset Store​

 

that would be MASSIVE. keep up the good work!

 

Heya,

I've been really pleased with the plugin so far and it has proven to be very flexible and reliable. One thing i've noticed though is that while using Sprite Color Mask 3 blending modes color and luminosity seem to have switched places. The same thing happens for other people in the team as well so it's not only my unity doing its tricks.

Other than that it seems to be working very well but would it be possible to add a "tint" blending mode to the Color mask 3? So basically the same thing as what the Sprite renderer's Color does but with the masks Sprite Color Mask 3 provides.

 

Thank you for your interest in our pack Noukheim.

I just checked the shaders and each one uses its function. You mean that formulas are changed?

I think you can get the same effect using Multiply.

Demos | Web | Asset Store​

 

Yeah, it would seem like it. I just checked and it happens only with the Sprite Color Mask 3.

Seems to do the same thing. Thanks a lot

 

Hey, bros, can anyone confirm, that I'll be able to add one-pixel-outline (with 16 ppe, 0.0625 unit outline)? It looks like outline size is differs on the edges of the sprite. All I need is outlines and don't want to buy the pig in a poke, thanks

 

I just reply by mail Deadcow_

Hi! I'm interested on this plugin because of the outline effect. I saw the demo, and I see it's working well on pixel-art sprites, but I would use it for adding a black outline to high-res sprites. So, please, can you attach some screenshots of a high-res sprite with outline effect applied?

 

Sure, contemplate and fear the great Baron of Hell (400x688):

Thanks! I'll buy it soon

 

I've just bought Sprite Color FX, but I can't achieve what I want. I would like to draw an outline, but my object is composed of several sprites, not only one. I've tried your plugin and it only works for unique sprites. Is there any way to use it for draw an outline of GameObjects composed of several sprites? If not... I'm sorry but... please, can I have a refund?

 

Please contact us by mail, hello (at) ibuprogames (dot) com, and we will find a solution (or refund).

Hey there, I'm having this issue with Sprite Outlining, basically when the sprite has transparency, it outlines any of the pixels that are partially transparent.

As seen here in the top-left: http://imgur.com/QNdbaK0
It should look like the image in the top-right though, I think.

Is this intended, or a bug? Is there an easy way for me to change it so partially-transparent pixels don't get 'outlined', since it's kind of filling them in right now rather than outlining.

Thanks!

 

Hi Async0x42, the effect uses the alpha channel to do some calcs. Can you send me at hello (at) ibuprogames (dot) com a sprite to do some tests?

Thanks.

Hi,

I love your product but I have a few questions:

1) I tried to use the outline effect but when I set the sprite to -1 X scale to flip it, the sprite no longer renders in unlit mode.

2) When parented, sometimes the light does not affect child objects using bumplit outline effect.

3) Can I add multiple effect on the same sprite? eg. Outline then fade away?

One more request, hope you guys work on the mesh renderer version of the product soon. I am using Spine2D for my animations but sadly, couldn't use it with your awesome effects.

Cheers

 

Hi Lionfish_Studios, thanks for your interest in our asset!

1. It seems a bug... i'll fix it.
2. Can you send us the scene at hello (at) ibuprogames (dot) com?
   
3. I am afraid that is not possible. You can only have one active effect at time

About use Mesh Renderer, it's something we're thinking, but it would be a diferent asset

Regards.

• Overlap mode in Outline effect.
  
• Custom outline mask in Outline effect.
• Alpha threshold in Outline effect.
  
• Small improvements.

Heya,

I recently started using unity's sprite packer and notice that the sprite color masks 3 doesn't work correctly with it. I've been trying to make a workaround but so far my attempts have been futile. Is there a possibility that the plugin will support atlased sprites in the near future?

 

Hi Noukheim, I tried to make a test using Sprite Packer, but does not seem to work properly. Can you send a test project to hello (at) ibuprogames (dot) com?

Thanks.

Demos | Web | Asset Store​

 

How does outline look on sprites that are not pixelart? Sprites that have irregular shapes
Thanks

 

Hi Mr Oliv, something like this?

Demos | Web | Asset Store​

 

Most of the demo links here and on the asset page are broken links or load a web player that doesn't work. Can you fix these? I'm interested in this asset but want to see better how it works.

Also, with the lit sprites, does it just light the whole sprite or is there a way to apply a map for the lighting?

 

It seems Google has stopped serving web in Google Drive. I'll use to another service and update the links as soon as possible.

Right now the whole sprite is light, but it would be easy to apply a map. Send an email to 'hello (at) ibuprogames (dot) com' and we talk.

Regards.

[UPDATE]

All demos moved to another service (Amazon).

Demos | Web | Asset Store​

 

Thank you for the response. I will likely end up using sprite lamp for the lighting, but I'll probably still pick this up for some of the effects, particularly the chromatic aberration and color ramp.

 

Can you update for compatibility with Unity 5.5Beta? There are some warning about an obsolete command.

Code (CSharp):

1. Assets/SpriteColorFX/Scripts/Editor/SpriteColorBaseEditor.cs(55,24): warning CS0618: `UnityEditor.EditorGUIUtility.LookLikeControls()' is obsolete: `LookLikeControls and LookLikeInspector modes are deprecated. Use EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth and EditorGUIUtility.fieldWidth to control label and field widths.'

 

I found the following issues:

• Palette Setting on Sprite Color Ramp Mask component doesn't get save. It resets every time I press "Play". May be something wrong with Serialization?
• I set pixel snap to "On" on the material for every GameObject I use with Sprite Color Ramp Mask component. These will get reset every time Unity recompile scripts (so every time I edit any script). I have to recheck all pixel snap check box with material for Sprite Color Ramp Mask component. It is not good for development.
• Sprite Color Ramp Mask component doesn't work if the sprite is a part of Sprite Atlas (via Unity's Sprite Packer). So I can't use the Atlas feature. This is not good for performance optimization.

Hi - looking at maybe purchasing this asset but can it change the colours on an instance of a sprite in runtime? (so you don't have to create 2 different sprites outside runtime)?

 

Hi Duffer123, sure you can. All effects are configurable both from the editor and by code. In the case you pose, if 'sprite0' and 'sprite1' are two components with the 'SpriteColorOutline' effect:

Code (CSharp):

1. sprite0.GetComponent<SpriteColorOutline>().outlineColor = Color.Red;
2.  
3. sprite1.GetComponent<SpriteColorOutline>().outlineColor = Color.Blue;

Do not hesitate to send any other questions to our email hello (at) ibuprogrames (dot) com

Hi, Is this supported in 2020.1 ?
Thanks
