Then drag and drop the parent folder into TexturePacker. Next gather your individual images together into a logical folder structure. Select the MonoGame option and then ‘Create Project’ to move forward… You’ll be presented with a screen like below…

Now the above maybe nothing new to a lot of people, however what you might not know, is that the latest version of TexturePacker has an option for exporting the sprite sheet and data file in a format targeted at MonoGame – along with access to source code for loading and handling the resultant data files within your MonoGame app. SpriteSheets – TheMovie – Part 1 by CodeAndWeb (See this fun video from the makers of TexturePacker that explains it better than I can) Using a single sprite sheet is much more efficient than loading lots of individual images in game development. The idea is that you draw the individual frames of animation for your game characters as separate image files – and then drag and drop them into TexturePacker – whereupon you end up with a single image file and accompanying data file ready to load into your game. I’ve mentioned TexturePacker in a previous blog post however, for those that haven’t used it before, it is a very easy to use application for creating Texture Atlases / Sprite Sheets. Also a link will be provided to the source code.

You even have a tutorial on how to use it.Hello! It’s been far too long since my last blog post, however I’ve had nothing interesting to say – that is until now! Today I will talk about the latest version of TexturePacker, which has a new export option specifically for MonoGame – thus allowing you to easily create animations within your MonoGame apps.įor those who just want to see the results straight away, here is a video of the iOS simulator running a MonoGame animation produced with the help of TexturePacker…īelow I will walk you through how to produce the above application. TexturePacker is officially supported by UE4. We have created art that looks terrible because of this problem.

90% of my game has artifacts that shouldn't be there. You can recreate it and you can see it happening. Now do you understand why it is super important to fix this issue that is created ONLY by texturepacker and not by importing one by one the sprites of that texture sheet? I really do not understand why you see no problem with my report. We either run out of VRAM or we use bi linear to hide some of the artifacts that compression creates. The only way to "win" back some of that is to use bi linear. With that setting we wouldn't need anything but the "default", but we are forced to use the default compression of ue4 resulting in great quality loss. We simply cannot use the uncompressed method because of the texture size that is 16.5mb for a 2048x2048. Another reason has to do with texture compression. What i was saying earlier is that us paper2d guys need the bi linear options.

Please test the single png example i gave you and if it does not create any artifacts when using bilinear please report this as a bug because it has destroyed my game. I need to see this fixed before i go any deeper. Also if you do not use bilinear there is another issue with unreal that makes rendering jittery. Without it everything appears pixelated and flickers.Also some games benefit from the "soft" look. Is that not a bug?Īnd yes there is a reason why we need bi linear for 2d games especially when you change the FOV. You are literally telling me to import all pngs one by one if i do not want artifacts. If you import the single chest png that i gave you and set it to bilenear it does not create any artifacts, does it? Then why it does so on every texturepacker export? This is not standard and expected behavior. I would partially agree with you that this would be an non issue if it occurred for single sprites as well. It is for ALL sheets exported from texturepacker. This is not on this specific texture sheet.
