I have made the jump from Flash to iOS development and the combination of the Corona SDK and TexturePacker has been super fast and efficient. I have set up a really fast workflow for creating my animations so I thought I would share.<\/p>\n

Photoshop Animation Panel<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Photoshop animation panel is amazing<\/em>. I animate faster in Photoshop now than I ever did in Flash. Here is how to set things up.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Set your animation frames to 0.1 seconds<\/li>\n
  2. Rough out your animations<\/li>\n
  3. Export as Video at 10 fps (0.1 = 10fps) into its own folder<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    TexturePacker<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Set up TexturePacker like you normally would. Bring in your roughs and make them into a sheet. Go ahead and insert your rough animations into your game. How does it look?<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Keep working in roughs until you get the animation how you want it to look. \u00a0When you want to update your animation you just:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Export video again, replace existing files<\/li>\n
    2. Click Publish in TexturePacker<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Your sprites are updated in 2 clicks! It’s so fast you can edit and check your animations in game almost instantly.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

      This has been a really big help for me. I hope it helps you develop even faster in Corona SDK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
