  • Giving Props to Esoteric

Posted this in Discord for Spine but wanted to share here 🙂

Just here to give props to Esoteric. I think out of all the animation programs I have used in 20 years this one has been the easiest and most intuitive one. Things I try actually work as intended from the UI and UX superb design in Spine. For once, I don't feel like I am fighting the program like others. :heart:

I cannot agree with you. Not until most of my UI improvement requests over the years get done. Like adding folder to draw order list and don't put everything (events, hierarchy, draw order, constraints) in the same panel to avoid sharing selection, dedicated selection group UI, shared color picker for bone, slot and attachment, make it possible to control the color of a sub-tree instead of having to adjust each slots in the sub-tree, and many more I don't even remember.

I have not been doing spine for many months as I am focusing on other kinds of works like coding. I really hope they can put more focus on the UI so that when I return to do character work, it could be more enjoyable... Nah, just joking, I don't have hope on those requests anymore. I just hope that when I upgrade my runtime to a new version in the future, things won't break.

@SeanK I'm glad you are enjoying Spine! We took some chances with custom UI, no right click context menus, and some other aspects. We strongly believe in putting extra effort into polishing UI details and creating the UI from scratch gives us full control.

@Nick No need to be so gloomy, cheer up buddy! 😉 There are of course plenty of room for improvements. We also have very long lists. We'll get there in time!
