There has been a major update to the Texture Packer software produced by Andreas Löw. You might recall that I have mentioned Andreas’ software previously to simplify making sprites for your mobile apps.
There are 25 new features included in Texture Packer including:
- New layout of the left side panel allowing easier change of exporter
- Auto update sprite sheet when re-entering TexturePacker
- Sprite highlighting
- Reveal in Finder / Explorer
- Preferences to change checkerboard color and hightlight color
- New icons
- Hotkeys
- Backspace / delete to remove sprites
- Dialog to select the Flash Player plugin to use
- Drag your sprites here – to give new users a faster start
- Allowing free choice of texture data file name
- Fit button for zoom
- Folders inside a smart folder are now blue
- Auto populate file names from other names e.g. save blah.tps also sets blah.png and blah.plist
And a few other great features including new exporters and import tools! So if you are using sprites in your games, I highly recommend Texture Packer.
It is available for just $24.95 at http://www.texturepacker.com/
