all hi, here an interesting lesson with new opportunities of Spine

STRETCHY IK - MARRY ME!!!

Stretchy IK! Fantastic! Something I was asking about around ago. Looks amazing, can't wait to try it in our game!

Thanks so much guys and keep up the good work!

Stretchy IK and path constraints came just in time for our current project! Really amazing :party:
Thank you so much! :yes:

Those are some usefull features. Also great examples to show the possibilities of path and transform constraints. :yes:

I just played arround a littlebit with these new features and allready have a small wish. It would be great if you could invert values at the transform constraint. For example to create a chain of gears (every seccond one shoud rotate the other way round). Or maybe there is allready a posibility for this (exemple creating 2 constraints of course) ? I tried invertig the scale but this didn't invert the rotation direction.

Like I said just a smaaaaaaaall wish. In the end it wouldn't make a lot more work to create 2 constraints in that case. The whole feature does save us a lot of work allready the way it is ;-)

Awww yessss, I await my runtime updating overlords! :cake:

All runtimes except Lua are already up-to-date!

Tranmet, once all runtimes are up to date with 3.4 (JS and Lua left, which are hard due to dynamic typing), and once I have plowed through the open issues/PRs on the runtime repo, I'll hopefully have time for UE4. No ETA, cause that's how i roll.

Hi
I'm currently considering choosing between spine and creature for 2d animation for unreal engine. Is it possible that we know if and when a plugin for unreal would be available?

I can't give you a definite date, but after the spine-lua update, spine-unreal is next on my todo. I can definitely say it will be available this year.

Hello, do you have an expected time for the update of lua/corona runtime? I know you cant give a specific time but is it expected until a month or the end of the year?

Also do you suggest migrating from corona for the usage of spine? As lua is always the latest runtime to get updated

Thanks

You can follow the progress on the Lua/Corona/Love2D runtimes here https://github.com/esotericsoftware/spine-runtimes/tree/spine-lua-update. My guestimate is that they will be done in a week, two weeks tops.

I can't comment on whether switching away from Corona makes sense (I'm personally not a big fan of Corona, but ymmv). My job is it to keep the runtimes up-to-date going forward, as quickly as new Spine editor releases are being thrown out. If I don't suck at my job, you won't have a reason to consider other engines

thank you thats great news
