Unity Vector Graphics Preview Package

Information like this is gold. Thank you for sharing!

 

How can I configure the import at runtime so that the unity does not hang 100%? So it would take longer to load, but it was possible to do a download with animation. If it is not possible now, then it would be great to see such an opportunity. Thanks.

 

Will SVG filters be supported in the future?

 

Can I change the default pixels per unit when importing? Specifically of when importing in Vector Sprite mode?

The package is looking fantastic.
Compliments to the team.

 

How did I not see that.
Thank you for the quick reply.

I fear we have unexpected behaviour we would like to report:

While working with a multitude of prefabs we encountered the following issue:
when choosing 'Save' (or pressing CTRL+S) when editing a prefab,
previously edited prefabs containing SVG sprites will reimport.

When editing lots of larger prefabs in a row, this takes so long, it cripples our ability to work.
I have created a project reproducing the issue.

Also Included is a video file showing the steps needed to reproduce the issue:

• Edit a prefab containing an SVG
• Observe import logging: the edited prefab was reimported = Expected
  
• Choose File > Save (or hit CTRL+S)
• Observe no logging = Expected
  
• Edit a different prefab containing an SVG
• Observe import logging: the edited prefab was reimported = Expected
  
• Choose File > Save (or hit CTRL+S)
• Observe the previous prefab beeing imported multiple times = Unexpected

We only observe this behaviour with prefabs containing SVG's.
Reproduced using Unity 2018.3.0f2, Vector Graphics 1.0.0-preview.23

 

Is it possible to use Unity's 2D Animation tools with SVGs? If so, how? I'd really like to use the bone rigging. Would streamline workflow greatly.

 

From earlier in this thread:

 

Thank you.

 

I'm also having this issue, but it's manifesting itself in a different way. I haven't noticed the slowdown at all, but when it re-imports the prefabs it's rearranging the data slightly and saving that out again, generating file modifications in git for every prefab it touches. It might be a bug with the prefab system, but it seems to only be occurring on prefabs with SVGs in them.

Attached is an example of the changes it makes. It always moves around the contents of the m_Modifications array, and never in a consistent way. In this specific case, that m_Modification block got moved back and forth several times throughout the course of the day, so I can't just commit the change and forget about it.

 

Hi, I've been wanting to take advantage of the runtime loading and creating sprites from SVG's.

Is there any particular reason why the functions "TessellateNodeHierarchyRecursive" and "TraceNodeHierarchyShapes" are internal/private?

Rather, what's the best way to gain access to use these functions at runtime instead of me directly modifying VectorSceneTessellation.cs inside the Vector Graphics Package. This then makes it impossible to use Unity Cloud Build.

 

Is there some reason you can't just use SVGParser.ImportSVG(), VectorUtils.TessellateScene(), and VectorUtils.BuildSprite()?

 

I'm trying to only draw or pull certain SceneNodes in the SVG rather than the whole SVG. It has enabled me to generate specific physic shapes to then be used as clickable hotspots and groups of items to be toggled on and off.

 

Also VectorUtils.BuildSprite() apparently doesn't work reliably.

I have seen it work fine both in the editor and a built project, but I've also gotten "Not allowed to override geometry on sprite" in the editor and nothing at runtime. Why does this work intermittently? Are Sprite objects pooled and it depends on whether something was disposed?

(Yeah this is something I complained about earlier, but I thought it was fixed, because I've seen it work.)

 

Yeah, you explained this to me before. The only thing is I've seen runtime / editor sprite creation work.
No matter though, finally got off my butt and just wrote a camera based version of my own for making the textures.

EDIT: I take it back, my replacement code doesn't work at runtime.
EDIT 2: Just trying to use a Material that wasn't included in build. One of those days...

 

I'm still having with preserve viewport working as expected. I use Adobe Illustrator to create my SVGs, but illustrator doesn't include the width and height tags on export. This is the format it creates:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 362 329">

Would it be possible to get support for SVGs with this format? For now, I manually add width and height tags to get dependable scale on my objects. So I just add this to each SVG in a text editor:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 362 329" width="362" height="329">

That information is already contained in the viewBox dimension. Thanks.

 

Disabling "responsive" does the trick. Thanks!

 

Sounds good! We're also currently getting haunted by exceedingly long save times. We have 100 or so instances of prefabs in our scene that contains SVG files, and when we save the scene it takes 13 minutes or so even when we haven't touched any of the prefabs. It sounds as that issue is related to our current situation. We tried using a script that implemented UnityEditor.AssetModificationProcessor to see what's saved, and all the prefabs popped up which doesn't make sense since we haven't touched them at all. Should only be the scene file and nothing more.

 

Can vector graphics be used with the 2D Spriteshapes package by chance?

 

Thanks for the update!

 

Hello!

Is the issue with "A sprite mesh may not have more than 65535 vertices." gonna be fixed? Or is there any workaround for this? Cause I'm trying to render a very high quality svg earth map and it's just impossible to perform this using tessellation settings. Do I really have to split the source svg into multiple files? If so, it would be great to have the built-in utility to perform this in the most optimal way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

The attached project has an SVG file that is displaying horribly wrong when set to use a vector sprite. In textured mode, it looks fine.

 

It would be nice if there was a built-in option to generate a mesh that would work with a line shader as well as the regular mesh generation. I've done a crummy one myself so I can do zooms without regenerating the mesh all the time which I'm happy to share if anyone wants it, but it's definitely not "professional" quality.

 

See the attached image. It's rendering seven copies of the bitmap instead of just one. This is with version 1.0.0-preview.23

 

That did the trick! I'm a little suprised it didn't do that automatically when I created it with Game Object->UI->SVG Image.

Thanks!

 

Greetings.

Any plans to add control of SVG elements once the vector graphic has been loaded to Unity?
I would be interested in being able to control those properties through code at run time, to modify for instance the color, opacity, visibility, style options, etc of a path/group svg element.

 

Interesting.
I want to load SVGs with Kanji characters and control the order in which each stroke (paths in this case) is loaded. I will have a look at the links you posted to see if I can make it work with that. Thank you so much for your reply!

 

Hi! I'm getting an error when importing an SVG. I think something about my SVG must be set up incorrectly, but I'm very new to working with them so I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong!

I've attached the errors, and I've attached the SVG as a .txt file since I couldn't attach the SVG itself...

UPDATE: I fixed this but am not sure why my fix fixed it. In my SVG, there was an object named "Button1". Destroying and recreating that object allowed the import to succeed. No clue if this was an Inkscape error or a Unity error. If it was a Unity error, hopefully this can shed some light on a weird bug!

 

Hi! I've got a rather nasty bug.
I've got many Prefabs with SVG objects in them. Those prefabs are referenced in other Prefabs and ScriptableObjects.
Now, often when I build, the connection is lost. In the build and in the editor as well.
I've tested it a lot and haven't found a quick solution. What I managed to find out:

• This is somehow connected to the Nested Prefabs. In earlier versions (2018.1) this isn't happening. In the newest (2018.3.6) it is.
• It only happens to Prefabs containing SVG Objects.
• The fileID changes! Like mentioned above in some post, Unity saves the SVG Assets anew? (see screenshot).

The issue is pretty easy to reproduce:

• Make some prefabs with SVG Objects.
• Make a class 'container' with a variable for a GameObject
• Make a prefab with the 'container' script and reference a SVG prefab.
• Build the game several times until something breaks.

I am desperate. Please help!

 

Okay. My Issue just evaporated? Somehow, and I really don't understand it, the bug is gone. I've had this issue for 2-3 days or two different computers (a mac and a windows pc). Now it's gone in both! I am happy and ehm angry and I don't know.

Maybe it will come back and haunt me in a few days?

 

Hi there,

Any idea whether it's possible to use ShaderGraph to affect the UV of an SVG? I was trying a simple test case, just creating a simple ShaderGraph shader that applied a UV offset to the sampler of _MainTex, but it has no affect on the rendered SVG. From looking through this thread, it seems like maybe UV offset would require using TexCoord2 instead of TexCoord0, but I don't see a way to do that in ShaderGraph.

(Not sure whether to be asking this here or over in the Experimental Graphics forums, since it's kind of the combination of two packages...)

 

I was working on a UI shader to add some static/distortion effects to images, via piping a noise textures into a UV offset for the sprite. For example, this round image was been heavily distorted:



But that approach didn't work with the SVG images, and I didn't see any knobs to turn in ShaderGraph to use TexCoord2 instead of TexCoord0.
