Hi Everyone,
I released a new tool for creating and laying out textures into a texture atlas. It is very similar to the old one found at http://robertjpayne.com/textureatlascreator/ with optimizations, bug fixes and new features.
All old project files created with the Texture Atlas Creator are compatible with Zwoptex. Note it will take a little longer to load them in the first time as it converts the file formats.
use it here: http://zwoptex.zwopple.com
What’s new:
GENERAL FEATURES:
+ UI has been redone and compacted into a more standard application MenuBar
+ Fixed a bug where offsetX was opposite what it was supposed to be on exporting
PROJECT FEATURES:
+ file format has changed but will convert old projects ( it will take awhile on first load )
+ file format saves lots of variables specific to the project rather than using a web cookie like the old version
CANVAS FEATURES:
+ canvas sporting a new 32×32px grid. ( can’t change the size or snap-to-grid yet )
+ canvas width and height can be changed to 64,128,256,512 or 1024 pixels. It does not have to be square
+ canvas now locks images into it. If you drag an image outside of bounds or resize the canvas it will push images in with it
IMAGE FEATURES:
+ images can now be trimmed or untrimmed directly without having to reload the images ( by default they will load in trimmed )
+ images load in faster and use less memory so load times should be improved a bit
+ new interface that is condensed and allows for expansion / features easier
+ select all images button
+ adjustable canvas width/height ( 64px,128px,256px,512px,1024px only )
+ canvas has 32×32px grid
+ images cannot be positioned outside of canvas
ARRANGING FEATURES:
+ arrange by name and width has been added ( sorts on name then positions left to right top to bottom )
+ arrange by name and height has been added ( sorts on name then positions top to bottom left to right )
+ arrange by width ( sorts on height then positions left to right top to bottom )
+ arrange by height ( sorts on width then positions top to bottom left to right )
+ all arrange options are “toggles” and will reverse their sorting every other time
+ arrange min spacing has been added so you can specifiy a 1-5px minimum spacing between images getting arranged
