Slice a spritesheet into multiple files

[BabyAzerty]

I have a spritesheet of characters with transparent background and a common size for each characters.

Is there a fast way to export the spritesheet into multiple files with one character per file ?

Something like an automatic slicing export ?

 

Thanks for the program :-)

Hello BabyAzerty,

Welcome to Affinity Forums.

You can create a slice for each character in Export Persona and then export them all at once to different files.

Check this video tutorial for details on how to create and export slices in Affinity.

Hi Meb,

 

Thanks for the reply.

I saw that video earlier, but I have a spritesheet with 90 characters sprites. I can't copy+paste my slice selection and I do not see any automatic system to slice them based on the alpha background.

If there is no such function yet, I would like to put this as a feature request :)

I've been using Pixelmator for years but it has very limited vector functions.

So I bought Affinity yesterday after a 2h trial ! Awesome product :wub:

Slices will be improved soon.  I'll add copy and paste / power duplicate of slices then.

 

I hadn't thought about auto-slicing yet.  Might be something we can think about.

Hi. In the video the slices appear in a tab view on the right.. like the layer view. I don't have that view on my export persona. How on earth do I make it appear ? I've tried the View->Studio->Slices toggle but that doesn't do anything. At the moment I can only export my slices if I select each one individually 8(

Hi mslinklater,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Try the menu View ▹ Studio ▹ Reset Studio while you are in Export Persona.

If it doesn't work, exit the application, press and hold ⌃(ctrl) and launch it again. Select Clear from the dialog that will open.

Let me know if you still have trouble.
