Setting up a skin placeholder using psd tags

gubilla

I'm new to Spine and working on learning about skins. I found a layout that will work for my project, bone -> slot -> skin placeholder -> 4 skins each with an image attachment.

I'd like to find a way to setup a photoshop file that would recreate this layout. I've read through the usage guide and looked through the forum and I haven't had any luck. It seems to like this would get me close, but I get wild results I really don't understand.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can use tags to get the layers in the photoshop file to give me the bone->slot->placeholder->skin layout I'm looking for?

To set up a Photoshop file that recreates the layout of bone -> slot -> skin placeholder -> skins with image attachments, you can use the PhotoshopToSpine script with specific tags. The key is to use consistent naming for your layers and to utilize the [skin] and [slot] tags effectively. For example, you can name your layers like this:

[slot:yourSlotName] [skin:skin1] image1
[slot:yourSlotName] [skin:skin2] image2
[slot:yourSlotName] [skin:skin3] image3
[slot:yourSlotName] [skin:skin4] image4

This setup will ensure that each image is placed in the same slot but under different skins. The [slot] tag specifies the slot name, and the [skin] tag specifies the skin name. Make sure that the slot name is consistent across all layers to ensure they are grouped under the same slot in Spine. You can find more information and examples in the PhotoshopToSpine script documentation.

Layers under a [skin] tag go into a skin placeholder with that name.
