Export Lyaers to .anme; Jumbled mess.

zyrolasting · Post by **zyrolasting** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 4:46 am

I'm not sure if this is necessarily a bug, but it's troublesome nonetheless.
From a normal .PSD file with no flaws, use of the script squashes all of the images into a ball, leaving my character as a lumpy mess.

Unfortunately I cannot upload my notable trouble file for the sake of the privacy of my graphics. Instead I uploaded a ridiculous looking doodle joyfully walking to the right.

Grab it here:

If it's in a right walking pose with it's torso (the purple stick) in the natural area FOR a torso, please tell me what could be wrong with settings related to jumble my work

Beforehand this worked fine for me, (tested between files, yes they are now all now prone to jumbling)

A guess on my part is the project setting dimensions, but changing it did no good. OTHER NOTES: I recently reinstalled windows -same day-. I noticed the jumble seems anchored at the top left to the origin point of AS5's workspace.

Please let me know what you find out, and thanks for your time.

Uh...I couldn't figure out what that was suppose to be, and there was no animation done in it. So I don't know what 'walking' you are talking about.

What script are you talking about?

Edit:Oh I see. I had to look at the text file to see that you had used the export to AS from Photoshop script. Unfortunately I only have Photoshop Elements, so I can't test this.

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have specified there is just a walking pose. Right, there is no animation.

It's just that the exported layers seem "sqeezed" together into a ball. All of my exported characters look embarrassing.

I'll try to give any more information you need. Please help on this, someone!
Seemingly inexplicable errors are annoying!

The file looks okay to me. I don't know what the problem is. Are the images in that sample "wrong" in some way?

The images are VERY low resolution. I don't know if that might be a problem.

Um, really? My Photoshop documents are well over 1000x1000.
To be safe, I set AS5 Project defaults to 2000x2000.

Still messy. Here's a screenie of my character. (Blackened for privacy.)

The first screenie is the normal humanoid fashion he's meant to be in.
The second is what I get from the script output. (Splat.)

I would agree with you about the dimensions not being accommodated, but I did change the default beyond the PSD document size. Any other ideas?

EDIT: Oh. It's obvious to see, but you notice images have even changed their scale. It does seem like resolution, but would any form of code have ignorance to my new change to 2000x2000?

Well it must be a problem with the Photoshop script. I can't test that script since I don't have Photoshop CS.

If you want just don't use the script created AS file and import the image layers "by hand". You will have to translate the layers into the proper position in AS on frame 0.

EDIT: wait a minute. I noticed a flaw. Every time I export it, the project settings sets the dimensions at 100x100, ignoring I set it to a huge level as default regardless.

Anyone who knows the script problem, please tell me what factor always makes the output expect 100x100!
