FX preset catalogue
Every built-in preset of the FX builder (37), at its default settings. Each one is a one-shot effect
(loop it in your game if you need it to repeat); every control in the FX builder changes it.
Previews: screenshots/fx_presets/<id>.gif.
Using them in a game engine
Generate package writes Spine 3.8 JSON and loose PNGs for importing into the Spine editor.
Export for game engine… writes what the Spine runtimes load: <name>.json (Spine 4.0 or 3.8) or
<name>.skel (4.0 binary), a packed texture atlas (<name>.atlas, or <name>.atlas.txt for Unity) and
its PNG page, with optional premultiplied alpha and atlas scale. Use it with spine-unity, spine-godot,
spine-cocos2dx, spine-phaser, spine-pixi, spine-libgdx and the other official runtimes.
To animate an effect further first, insert it into a skeleton in Anim2D (FX → Insert FX into skeleton…), animate it, then use File → Export… (JSON or binary with the Texture Packer atlas) or File → Unity Bridge….
