To upscale your Spine project while preserving the animations, you can follow these steps:
- Export your project to JSON: Make sure to include nonessential data in the export.
- Rename your images folder: This prevents Spine from using the original images by default.
- Create a new project: In Spine, start a new project.
- Import the JSON: Import the JSON file you exported earlier. During the import, specify the scale factor that corresponds to your desired upscale (e.g., 2 for 200%).
- Prepare your high-resolution assets: Place your new, higher-resolution images in a folder.
- Point Spine to the new images: In the Spine editor, update the images folder path to point to your new high-resolution images.
This process allows you to upscale your assets without losing your existing animations and rigging. You can also use different resolution images at runtime by specifying a scale when loading the skeleton JSON, which can be useful for adapting to different screen resolutions.
