SVG Importer | Vector Graphics | Unity UI Supported [OPEN SOURCE]

Hi,

You can PM me for a version of SVG Importer which support real-time import. I think that it would need only a handful of optimization.

 

Hi,

Could you send me please email with detailed info about your version of Unity, version of Plugin and version of OS?
I can send you the latest build.

 

Hi,
Could you please send me the whole SVG so I can investigate it?
http://svgimporter.com/contact/ you can find my email there.
Thanks!

 

Great day folks!

Please, take a look at our little puzzle platformer Mimpi Dreams
Right now we are starting Steam Green Light.
Would love to hear any feedback from you!


OPEN STEAM GREEN LIGHT

 

UnityEditor.Graphs.AnimationStateMachine.StateEditor.OnDisable AND?

 

Good afternoon. Create an animation, like everything is OK, but the device no pictures or animations. What could it be? Thank you

 

Hi there, you have probably patch version of unity, please install the latest stable version of Unity and it should be OK.
If not, please contact me directly with more informations, thanks!

 

Hi,
I am using SVG Importer and it works great, thank you for making our jobs easier.
Using the latest version of unity (5.3.2) and the latest version from SVG Importer from the asset store there is still the issue with 9-slicing. It was a while back that you were working on it, how is that progress going?
Thank you

 

Hi there, does SVG work with WebGL and New UI? For example i want to use SVG Sprites to skin New UI Controls

 

Hello,
I'm working with the leatest unity version, the project it's exported correctly for iOS and Android, but when i'm trying to export it for windows phone, I got these errors:

1. Assets\Plugins\SVG Importer\Plugins\Core\Implementation\XML Parser\SmallXmlParser.cs(550,53): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'SystemException' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
   
   
   
2. Assets\Plugins\SVG Importer\Plugins\Core\Implementation\SVG\DOM\Utilities\DOMException.cs(51,32): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'SerializationInfo' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
3. Assets\Plugins\SVG Importer\Plugins\Core\Implementation\SVG\DOM\Utilities\SVGException.cs(33,32): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'SerializationInfo' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I'm I missing something?? with the other platforms works without problems.

 

Hello, i have two questions:
1. in general, does meshes performs better on older devices
(from memory, gpu memory & render time point of view)
(we found this plugin while trying to find a solution to support hd & sd graphics)

2. does it support svg groups ?
- (creating a mesh from a group of objects in inkscape)

Thanks.

 

Hi there,

I have a much better version of 9slicing in my current version,
so you can send me an email with your invoice number so I can send you the build.

 

Hi there,
SVG Importer works with webGL,
even the demo is done with webGL.
And also the UI is compatible with unity UI which you can
see in the demo as well.

Have a nice day!

 

Hi, please send me an email with your invoice number so I can send you new build.

 

Hi there,

1. Meshes are in general performant even on older devices, the thing which
is more a problem is fillrate which is mostly caused by transparent graphics.
that is the reason why SVG Importer also supports opaque rendering which can
discard invisible pixels before the rasterizer tries to render them.
Because meshes takes in most cases less space than textures, it is more
memory efficient also saves a lot of disk space. Our game Mimpi Dreams
is a good proof of concept that the whole vector graphics in the whole game
take only 10MB and can be rendered in any resolution with good quality.

2. could you explain this question a little bit further?

 

hi there,
in inkscape, for easy editing, we group objects using ctrl+G,
- we wanted to know if svg importer can convert them to one mesh automatically.
Thanks.

 

I've sent you an email, let me know if you have received it and when can I have the new build. Thanks

 

I can't get it to work with Unity 4.7

 

I just brought this asset and try to follow the tutorial getting started. Use your example scene.

And I try to add a 2D collider to some of the .svg file (eg: cloud) using SVG Collider 2D but it got an error in the inspector

"the collider did not create any collission shapes as they all failed verification. This could be because they were deemed too small or the vertices were too close..."

Can't even proceed the tutorial. How to fix this?

 

Is there a way to access the color of the SVG Rendered through script?

I don't see anything about this in the documentation. Maybe I missed it?

 

Could you please provide more information?
Which version of plugin do you have and what errors do you see?
Thanks!

 

SVG Importer converts whole SVG file into one mesh so it is extremely easy to handle.

 

Did you enabled collisions on the SVG Asset it self?

 

If you mean individual objects which you can recolour, that is something which I cam currently
working on. SO it is highly under development.

 

ya! didn't notice this part. Fix it. Thanks!

 

Hey. When you create animation file is such a mistake

Thanks

 

Version 1.1.1. These are the errors.

And if I change all "#if !UNITY_4_6" to "!UNITY_4_7"
I get this message and only pink objects, "Shader wants normals, but the mesh lion-mesh doesn't have them"

 

Hi Jaroslav,

First of all, congrats on building this very nice importer!
I do however have a feature request which would make it even better for me:
When creating artwork, I edit multiple objects in one drawing (I use Inkscape btw).
As they need to be moved individually in the game, I need to save each part to a different SVG for Unity to import them as separate assets.

I would really like to be able to group meshes related to their respective objects inside the SVG itself (using layers, or group elements). And on import, have them split out into separate assets (so one SVG file could result in multiple assets).

Is this doable? And would it be useful to more users perhaps?

Cheers,
Rob

 

I used SVG Importer for WebGL, and a simple circle is looking terrible on WebGL.
Please advise

 

Starting with version 5.3.0 is such a mistake when creating SVG animation.

Thank you!

I will definitely take a look at it.

 

Did you bought the plugin? This error is related only to old version of SVG Importer which is probably downloaded from a torrent site.

 

Hi there,

I absolutely understand your problem and yes there are more users with this request but
I am really not sure how to solve this from the user perspective.
As you know unity can work also with PSD files but you cannot work with individual layers in Unity
or export layers to sprites in unity which is the same problem btw.
The problem with this workflow is that for new users it is highly unpractical.

This is only a design problem not an implementation problem.
If you would have any ideas on how to operate such a solution I would be really glad.

 

Hi there,

please increase the quality value from 1000 to 2000 or more.

 

I am bringing SVG file from the Adobe Illustrator to unity with ugui settings to UI.
If I use scale 0.1 "Set Native Size"button will size element to correct size, but if I use 9-Slice scale in importer need to be 0.01 to get correct size in UI.
Is there reason why scale needs to be different?

I have used same document settings in AI and export settings that is on documentation.

 

I have a problem with SVG canvas being ignored in UGUI even when I turn the "Ignore SVG Canvas" off in the imported. It shows everything from the outside of the canvas which is really ugly. It shows it properly in a web-browser or in the SVG Editor window.

 

I'm only conversant with Inkscape so my suggested solution is based on that. I understand that a good implementation would need to support multiple drawing packages.

I've added a sample Inkscape SVG file. Layers are represented by svg:g elements with inkscape:groupmode="layer":

Code (CSharp):

1. <g inkscape:label="Object B"
2.      inkscape:groupmode="layer"
3.      id="layer1">
4.  

The simplest solution I can think of would be to mimic the way Blender files are imported. Each file is represented as a root asset that expands into multiple child assets. Maybe this explosion into child assets could be optional, triggered by a tickbox called "Split layers into seperate assets" on the root asset. This way new users could continue using the importer as before.

In the case of Inkscape, the name of the child asset could be a concatenation of the filename and the layer label name. So importing the example file would result in 2 child assets called example_Object_A and example_Object_B.

 

Hi there,
You found a bug, you can write me on my email http://svgimporter.com/contact your invoice number and email so I can send you the fix.

 

SVG Importer v 1.1.1 Unity 5.3.2p2 What's next?

 

Hi, does it mean a 25x25 pixel shape with 100% view in illustrator appear exactly in Unity? Thanks

 

Thank you, did you try to delete the old version and replace it with the latest?
You can contact me directly with your invoice number so we can progress further with your issue.
Thanks, have a nice day!

 

Its still terrible with 2000

 

@Jaroslav Stehlik
I was doing some profiling today while trying to find ways of optimizing my project for WebGL and I found a strange leaking of meshes coming from SVG Importer (as far as I can tell). I implemented a call to Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets(); between scenes and that helped with some other leaks I noticed, but the meshes still continued to increase. Actually, they increase through-out the use of the editor itself. After an hour of working I have almost 10k meshes in memory.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a known issue?

Edit: I profiled the standalone PC build and it does not appear to be happening there. Perhaps it is editor-only issue?
Edit: In the profiler's detailed memory sample, the meshes pile up under "Not Saved > Mesh" and are all named some variant of "Instance -324231"

 

Thanks! The new 9 slice works great

 

I tried quality with 5000 but results are still terrible,


Turning Pixel Perfect On = WebGL out of memory error and we dont want to turn Pixel Perfect On as it will be targetting toward mobile users too

plz advise

 

John,

I did not understand what Pixel Perfect means to you?
Do you mean antialiasing? On mobile, you can use antialiasing even on older devices.
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/script-Antialiasing.html
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-QualitySettings.html
or you can turn it on in Unity or with script
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/QualitySettings-antiAliasing.html
That should do the trick.

Hope this helps!

 

Hi there,
It is possible because in the editor the meshes are generated more often due to problems with
some bugs which can cause disappearing the meshes from the scene. Which is really annoying.
I hope that Unity editor will bring more unity events for fixing this bug.

 

Ah I understand. Well for now it's not too bothersome. I was mainly concerned about it happening in standalone, but since I discovered it does not that means I can simply restart the editor if it stacks up too much.

 

Hi Jaroslav,

I got a bug in display SVG correctly when play mode in unity editor (android platform) in uGUI canvas.

It display correctly in scene mode, but when I click 'play', the bug happen.

Using a color gradient at the front and a collection of white/black rectangle on the back.

You can see the image I upload and .ai.

 

Hi,

I tried it and I did not have the problem in playmode.
Which version of Unity, SVG Importer and Operating System do you run?
Thanks!
