Understanding the translation values

Epenetus

I'm trying to integrate spine with my current engine and I'm currently stuck on understanding the translation values. For instance, I have X: 142 and Y: 256 for a given bone. What are these numbers in respect to?

Another way to phrase it is, if I wanted apply a transformation to the Spine skeleton in order to make it fit within the Standard Square (2 units X 2 units), what information would I use?

I noticed that the Spine json file has an item called width and height are these the values these the absolute bounds of the skeleton?

Thank you for your help and let me know if there is anything that I can clarify.

I Believe these are local space, in relation ship to the root. i.e. 142 px away from root x 256px away from root's y. (could be wrong, don't have access to any runtime atm)

I am unsure what you mean by standard square?

NOTE: I think we did some magic with the world transforms, so these results may differ

Yup, I was correct, the bone positions are in local space... I.E. The x,y values are the same as what you see in the spine editor.

You will need to calculate what it's position should be in world space, if you wanted/need to manipulate it like that 🙂

Thanks for the help!

The standard square is basically Normalized Device Coordinates (NDC) a box with vertices:
(-1, -1), (1, -1), (1, 1), (-1, 1)

I ended having to scale down the x and y by some arbitrary value until it looked right in our engine. But now, it seems to be working properly. Thank you for your time.
