Export to JPG/GIF

[gandalf]

Would it be possible to support exporting frames to JPG and GIF?

Hello, gif export is in the next update coming soon, I’ll try to add jpg too, although bear in mind that there’s no alpha for jpg.

Hope that helps! 🙂

Thanks. Any estimate when the new version will be released?

Now far off now, just a bit more testing 🙂

Just a quick question, how do you export as a GIF (with transparency) spritesheet? Right now it just creates an animated GIF for me.

Also, just noticed the “specify columns” checkbox. EXCELLENT stuff!

Well, gifs with transparency proved to be very problematic because they can only have masked transparency (ie., it’s either transparent or it isn’t, there’s no in-between), but most particle effects have semi-transparent particles, so the end result was messy. Hence, there’s no transparency on gif exports. As a compromise you can at least export onto any background colour you want, so you can at least match the target background you want to draw the gif onto.
