Experimental Krita 4 Python Plugin to export into the Spine JSON format

How to install

Copy KritaToSpine.desktop and the KritaToSpine folder into the pykrita directory inside the Krita Resource directory. You can find your Resource Directory within Krita via Settings > Manage Resources > Open Resource Folder

Restart Krita and make sure the plugin is enabled, which means Settings > Configure Krita > Python Plugin manager > Unofficial Spine Export Plugin should be checked.

How to use

This plugin is inspired by the official Photoshop plugin and a fork of the Unofficial Spine Export plugin

It works nearly the same but not all the features of the Photoshop version are implemented. You can find the script under Tools > Scripts > Export to Spine. Select a folder and all your images will be exported into it as well as spine.json

Supported in Group Layers:

• (Bone) Slot and bone layers in the group are placed under a bone, named after the group. The bone is created at the center of a visible attachment.
• (Slot) Layers in the group are placed in a slot, named after the group.
• (Merge) Layers in the group are merged and a single image is output, named after the group.
• (Ignore) Layers in the group and any child groups will not be output.

Notes:

• Skins and subfolders are not supported
• No configuration options
• Images will be in png format
• Both () and [] can be used
• Invisible layers are ignored
• Be careful with filter layers. They will export as merged layer like they are shown in Krita. Consider organizing your scene with merge folders for better control.
