In 2022-2023 at Zynga, I pitched for us to swap a lot of our 3d models to Spine for unity.
The benefit being performance on device, and massive file size reductions.
For scenes work I also pitched and integrated unity timeline, so that we can have an easier time syncing animations, audio , vfx!
While doing so I did performance testing, library integration, initial implementation.
We didn’t have art resources for a while, so for 8 months I also rigged and animated the art.
And integrated it both on the gameboard and in cutscenes.
Below are some examples of spine files in and out of unity.
Work I’ve done on all of these – rigging, animation, integration, polling, shaders on top, setup for VFX dep for later.
Both on scenes and gameboard.
