Pixel FX Designer News

Hello there!

I know It's been a while since the last update. As development of Pixel FX Designer 2.0 shifted to SpriteMancer, I've been focusing all my "dev time" on that, but I didn't forgot about Pixel FX Designer v1.x.

This is a small update with some of the most commonly requested features from the community, and also the addition of a new feature called "Vortex" that I've been wanting to implement for quite a while. This update also updates the engine to the latest version, so It should be more stable and should also have a small performance boost.

If you feel that I missed something, find any new bugs that I can hunt or just want me to add a new feature, please let me know!

• Updated engine to latest version for compatibility and increased performance.
  
• Added UI scaling to app's window
  
• Added highlighting to the input fields being edited.
  
• Attractors can now be properly deleted.
  
• Added new "Vortex" options in Particle > Physics.
  
• Particle spawn point can now be centered with CTRL+RMB.
  
• Fixed a crash that would occur when creating a new project.
  
• Fixed a crash that would occur when exporting in .gif format.
  
• Fixed a bug where particle spawn point wasn't centered by default.
  
• Fixed a bug that would crash the app when copying an emitter.

Introducing SpriteMancer an all-in-one tool to create and animate effects!


SpriteMancer is the product I've been working for a long time now. It's the combination of all my previous apps into one, and much more!

SpriteMancer includes: Particle Editor, Dynamic Image Animation, Fluids Simulation, 3D Support, Node Graph, and more to come.


All the apps mentioned before will still be supported and expanded with new features, despite SpriteMancer including the functionality there are certain things that can only be done in the original apps.


SpriteMancer will be automatically added to your library If you have any of the following apps: Pixel FX Designer, Juice FX, Fluid FX or Smear FX at the moment SpriteMancer is released.

All of this means less income to myself, but It's the best way I can say thanks to all of you for supporting me through all this time.

[h2]Please, consider adding SpriteMancer to your wishlist![/h2]
