I was just wondering if there is an onion skining feature available for the animation timeline.

I was using Inkscape and it doesn't have a keyframe/image sequence tool for animations, so I thought of using pixelover for that. The animation player works flawlessly but I can't find a way to do onion skin.

I remember the first time opening it, it said something about "Error, Failed to read memories" Or something before crashing.

Please help, I don't want my money to be wasted. 

I'm using Window 10 and got enough space in my disk for it. I also check if it was stopped by my anti virus programs but that's not the case.

EDIT: Posting text with images seems to be too much for the Itch servers right now so ill have to post them in the comments, sorry!

Hi,  im trying to get clean outlines for my characters. Im using a 3d model and i want to turn it into a sprite.

[IMAGE1]

The silhouette outline works perfectly fine. The problem is when parts of the character overlap, like for example the leg in this picture. The 2 obvious solutions seem to be depth and normal lines, however they sadly dont work here. if i use depth lines the entire shoe for example gets fully overdrawn:

[IMAGE2]

Ive tried to play around with the threshold, but either the leg dosent get separated or the shoe/ rest of the model is ruined. using the normal lines results somewhat in the result i want, but its terribly inconsistent, leading to flickering lines on animations and constant gaps in the outlines:

[IMAGE3]

I tried using shader layers, however i have some layers but as seen in the first picture its just not possible to order them. the arm has to be under the shirt but over the pants, while the shirt is under the pants, so it cant be over the arm. also this wouldnt work for animations were orders would have to swap i also tried the new experimental version, hoping the per material shader could help but ive had no success. what id need would ideally be an outline on the legs like the outline of the silhouette. also a material line would be a great help. i hope someone found a solution to this problem, and thanks in advance for the advice.

Does anyone know where it is? Or the steam version doesn't have it?

I was thinking about using a 2D bones animation software for my animations but I was going for Spine since I use Gamemaker Studio, 

However, I think I'll go the full spritesheet way intead with Pixel Over + Aseprite. Easier to tweak the drawing (and so the animations) directly in those tools.

Seriously, the polish function, the fine tuning of the export function, cutting and drawing a sprite, 3D import, animation management, the quality of the pixelart shader, that's really amazing.

It opens easy Dead Cell or Ghost Trick rendering, that's so cool.

Of course, I have some feedback to share as well, but that will be for the dedicated section :D

Is there any way to export it faster? 

Now I want to add the pieces of the sprite backwards to share the same bones, but the back sprite is looking to the right. I want to now if I can easily mirror the animation with bones to then replace each image with the back ones, I don't know if it's clear what I'm trying to do.

Thanks in advice.

I rotate a bone and add a key, then when I play the animation, there are no frames. It's all equal. I don't know what I'm doing wrong on adding the keys, but I think it has to do with the fact that every key I add there's a line connecting to the previous one:

Every tutorial on youtube I watch, there is no such line, and I can't figure out how to add a key without that line. I don't know if that's the problem, I just need to know how to properly add a key and see the different frame I've generated.

Thanks!

I hope I am just simply missing something obvious as I am still new to this,

But I have been trying to animate a 3D model, and found that when I manually rotate the model as shown in below video, sometimes and only seemingly on specific axis, it does not properly register the angle. You'll notice when I go to a different keyframe and return, the position is not as I had set it, it is slightly different. When I look at the values within the transform window, they seem to change from the values that I had set. I find the only way to consistently rotate without this issue is by typing the specific values in the transform window.

Can someone please assist me with this and let me know what I'm doing wrong please.

Thanks!

Is there a solution for this?

• Ability to save and load animation.

Is under dev. Does that mean we are not able to save animations even for 2d? Excuse my ignorance I haven't bought PixelOver yet.

now for the first time im facing an issue where the models appear invisible. they still cast shadows and have the bounding box around them as expected but the models themselves dont render. This issue only appears when i import the models with armature.

I did however double check the file and exported it multiple times with different settings. the model and armature works in all other tested applications ( godot game engine, blender, windows 3d viewer, browser) but noit in pixelover.

if there is a way to attach the file i can share it here, but im curious if anyone else has this issue. this is especially confusing because i did the exact same thing before but now it dosent work even if i do everything from scratch

cheers!

Is there a way to import animation from an fbx file and apply to a model that has already been imported?

What I want to do it import my skeletal mesh and shade it the way I want, then import some FBX files with just the bone animations I want.

When I import the animations now, they import just fine but I cannot find a way to apply them to the actual model, they seem to only be applicable to the single object (if that make sense).

What I am trying to achieve in steps:

1. Import my model with skeleton

2. Shade it as I want

3. Import animations (using exactly the same skeleton as the model) such as walk, idle, run etc...

4. Apply those animations to my model.

Hopefully I am just missing some specific step, hope someone can help :)

Wondering if anyone has figured out what the scale should be when importing voxel assets to keep 1:1 pixel-to-voxel parity. I plan to figure this out when I have time but figured I'd ask to see if anyone has already determined. Thanks!

Here's why I need it. Say I want to adjust position on one animation, so I add a Transform -> Position track. Well, the problem is that transform doesn't reset, and carries over to other animations. I can kinda see why this would be intended behavior, but it means for every single other animation I have to add a position track for 0,0,0 so it plays in the correct place and doesn't break the export. Same for other kinds of animation tracks. 

Is there a way that I can add a key/track to every single animation at once? Same with setting frames per second - I want 20fps but the tool defaults to 30, and I have to manually set it for every animation. Any help would be appreciated, as these are the two major slowdowns for my workflow.

I want to make edits of the pokemon sprites animations and when I loaded (just dragged and clicked ok one everyhting) the gif's file, the program automatically generated the key sprites, this was very helpful for properly time the animation to the edits im making for them.

Now the problem is that when I loaded another animation (same gif file from the same website) the timeline didnt made the key's automatically, and it's honestly really hard to work like this. So my question is how do I make the program to generate these key's on command, or what are the conditions for them to be generated.

For the record. Both animations play properly, I just want to be able to see the keys as in the first picture, where the second one they're missing, but still play. Please help!

Hopefully my question is undestud.

Would this be considered exporting for Aseprite? I see it on their site but no option or Guide on how to do so...

Has anybody else encountered this and is there a work around for this?
