Rendering image quality

bontrager

Hi,

I am using spine-c to load a character in iOS device with Cocos2D,

spAtlas *atlas = spAtlas_createFromFile([user.skeleton.atlasURL UTF8String], 0);
spSkeletonJson *myJson = spSkeletonJson_create(atlas);
spSkeletonData* skeletonData = spSkeletonJson_readSkeletonDataFile(myJson, [user.skeleton.skeletonURL UTF8String]);
skeletonNode = [SkeletonAnimation skeletonWithData:skeletonData andArrayOfSkin:[self getDefaultUserSkinWithAdditionalSkin:skins]];

It loaded the character, but the result looks different with the android (libgdx).

Here is the image from iOS

And here is the image from android

I think the image on the iPhone seems rough, with some black thin border-like line in some parts. While on android, it rendered smoothly with the same image asset as the iOS version.

Any ideas why?
Thank you!

In your iOS screenshot it looks like the texture has PMA but is rendered as if it doesn't. In spine-cocos2d-objc the API to render using PMA is SkeletonRenderer setOpacityModifyRGB. Eg, adding to your code:

...
skeletonNode = [SkeletonAnimation skeletonWithData:skeletonData andArrayOfSkin:[self getDefaultUserSkinWithAdditionalSkin:skins]];
[skeletonNode setOpacityModifyRGB:true];

What spine runtimes version are you using? - (void) setOpacityModifyRGB:(BOOL)value is deprecated in our project. I called it, and it still produce some weird rendering character.

I linked to 3.8:
spine-runtimes/SkeletonRenderer.m at 3.8

An alternative is to not use premultiplied alpha when packing your atlas.

It is deprecated, right?

I already set _premultipliedAlpha to false in my - (void)initialize:(spSkeletonData*)skeletonData but still, there is a border line in each asset area. Or did I miss something, here?

I load my atlas with

spAtlas *newAtlas = spAtlas_createFromFile([skinAtlas UTF8String], 0);

There is a difference after I called setOpacityModifyRGB,

This one is setOpacityModifyRGB:NO

And this one is setOpacityModifyRGB:YES

I am not sure, the border line is not completely gone. But I think, it has a difference, thin and thick.

Strange. How do you export the atlas? Export without PMA, then try rendering with or without PMA. My guess is you export the atlas with PMA, then something in your toolchain is applying PMA to it again.

setOpacityModifyRGB is a cocos2d-objc method to tell if a node should be rendered with PMA. It may be deprecated there (I don't know, cocos2d-objc is becoming quite dated) but still, that is the way you tell the SkeletonRenderer if your atlas has PMA.
