Yes, it is possible to rig a larger image onto an existing skeleton without having to redo the entire rig. Here are the steps you can follow:
- Export the current skeleton as JSON: Make sure to include nonessential data.
- Import the JSON with a new scale: When importing, specify the scale factor that matches the increase in your image size (e.g., if the new images are 4 times larger, use a scale factor of 4).
- Replace the images: Point the images folder to the new high-resolution images.
This process will scale your skeleton to match the new image sizes. Additionally, if you are using meshes, Spine will prompt you on how to handle the change in image size, allowing you to either keep the mesh coordinates the same or scale them to match the new image size.
For more detailed steps, you can refer to the following resources:
By following these steps, you can effectively update your skeleton to work with higher resolution images without re-rigging.
