Hello

- Buying Spriter do I gain access to any sprite?
'm not sure I understand this question. When you buy Spriter you get access to Essentials versions of all of our first party Art Packs. The Essentials editions don’t have as much content as the full commercial versions, but have a useful amount of content to make a useful and attractive game prototype quickly, and provide a very strong set of example files to learn from. This page has previews for both the Essentials and full versions of each Art Pack: http://www.brashmonkey.com/animated_art_packs.htm
Let me know if that doesn't answer your question.
- Can I use it commercially without the need to mention any party other than myself?
es
- Can I use it, with little or a lot of effort, to make animations not just for games but a whole animation, let's say.. 10 minute animation?
urrently, it does not have features made specifically for creating an entire cartoon, but there aren't any particular technical limitations to stop you from using it to do so. If this is your interest, it could also be used as part of your animation pipeline. This is a student film featuring Spriter animated characters assembled in other software:
- Is it available for all platforms by default or I need to choose between Windows/Linux/MAC?
ne license grants you use across all platforms on multiple computers as long as only one person is using the license at a time.
- What are the dependencies for Linux?
he following command installs all dependencies not included in the package:
sudo apt-get install libqt4-webkit libqt4-help phonon[/code:akssl95j]
- Is it a specific Linux distribution package or distribution independent? And what Linux distribution was used to develop it (just in case something odd happens)?
t should be distribution independent. We can't test across all Linux platforms, but there have not been reports of Linux issues, aside from dependency issues we've already resolved in past versions. You can also download the free version from http://www.BrashMonkey.com to test it on your Linux distribution. I use the latest version of Ubuntu as my development machine.
- Works on Windows XP?
t should, as we do have XP users, however only they are only a very small percentage of our user-base, and we don't currently have an XP system we test on, so it's possible there are some issues that have gone unreported.
- Has API to permit plug-ins?
he file format is meant to be human readable, and this should give a basic overview of how implementation works, but it is not up to date with the latest features: http://www.brashmonkey.com/ScmlDocs/ScmlReference.html
We will be creating much more thorough and completely up to date documentation after we couple of important post 1.0 features developers will want to take advantage of.
- Does it load images or can I just draw on it?
urrently, it only loads images created in (any) other software, whether it be a painting, photo-editing, or 3d program that generates the PNG images.
- What is the maximum pixel dimensions?
his is largely dependent on your hardware. The free version of Spriter will allow you to push the limits of your PC if need be to test, but there isn't a specific limit.
