Hello,
it would be really awesome if AD could add a simple, generic Batch Builder that can export coordinates for Artboards and Slices and basic information for exported object layers to either JSON or XML:
Any slice
Coordinates
Slices created from objects
Stroke: Thickness, Color & Alignment
Fill: Color
Slices created from text frames (assuming a constant style for the entire frame)
Family
Weight
Size
Alignment
Bonus points for any additional properties (everything in the contextual context toolbar and the effects panel may be of interest)
That would dramatically increase the usefulness for UI design in collaboration with development teams!
We're currently trying to use the Spine JSON-Export to automatically create design specs for our dev team, but the proprietary structure (origin in bottom left, anchor at center of any object, no text support) makes it kind of finicky. It's awesome that it's there, but a few more attributes would make it much more useful for us.
If it's too time intensive to make a pretty JSON/XML-file, I'd also settle for Batch Builder that prints a parsable ToString()-Dump of the document tree .
I fancied doing something shiny, not too easy but not too complicated either, 2 weeks max, so decided to see if I could get this done. Shame it turned out to be such a horrible movie. There was too much background on the photo I used so I cropped it to something a bit more interesting.
Who needs fancy pants gradient meshes when there’s the pen tool
Sorry about the equally horrible compression.
When it´s just content with active alpha channel enable Transparency in the document Setup under Color for example image based texture rendering:
