Hi everybody!
This is my first post. A pal and I are working on an app/game and we are making the animations with Spine. Spine creators are working on new features like mesh deforming and free form deformations.
Those are quite important features for our game, but the developers said Corona won’t be able to use such features, because right now it only suports rectangular images, and what’s worse, it seems that there are no intentions to change that.
I wanted to know if there are really no plans of implementing deformable images in Corona.
Thanks!
The spine runtime is quite simple and you should be able to implement it yourself with the features from Graphics 2.0…
I’m sure that guys from spine would be happy if you help them out adding new features to the runtime and reduce their load.
We actually suggested here in the forum some improvements to performance and working with imageSheets and they have taken our suggestions from here (I never posted it to them) and implemented it! I was very surprised.
Thanks for the answer. 
So if I understand correctly, with graphics 2.0, it should be possible to use deforming images, and bypass the rectangular image limitations of Corona?
It is great news if that’s the case!
I don’t think I’ll be able to code the runtime, because I’m just the artist, hehehe. But my coder will be very happy about it.
