    Not using any of these SetPixel(), SetPixels() or SetPixels32().

  I have an immediate use for this. How long does it usually take to be approved in the Asset Store?

    my average has been 1-3 weeks, so it could be still few weeks to go..(and ofcourse there is change that it gets rejected at first round..)

    If you want to purchase it “offline”, that is possible (i’ll send you an email).
    (and for information, asset store price is set at 5usd only)

  I purchased this – It prints circles obviously but when you are painting its not a smooth line, you can see circles being printed at a distance from each other.

  If you paint slowly, then the smoothness is there but it’s not when you paint fast.
  I hope you understand. What can be a solution for this?

    mgear 27/07/2014 at 17:17

    It depends on this line (288) : int minDistance=brushSize-1;
    if you make it for example: int minDistance=1;
    or, int minDistance=(int)(brushSize*0.5f);
    Then it gets smoother, i’ll make it as public variable or better documented in next update.

    Floodfill is also coming up, using texture in the drawing plane, i’ll try to add it on next update also.

        it shouldnt take more than ~half a day to make,
        but this and next week seems so busy that cannot promise it for this or next week..
        (will try to get started on early next week though).

        btw. if you have examples of what kind of textures you would use in the drawing plane,
        feel free to email me some images/links.

        One problem is, how to handle texture scaling on different devices, should it simply fit the texture on that drawing plane (by default this would happen), or should try to keep aspect ratio atleast..?

  Can this asset use masks to somehow achieve the effects (eyeshadow, lipstick, washing, etc) of this type of game?

  Thanks!

    mgear 18/10/2014 at 13:27

    with some modifications can do cleaning/washing, like here:
    http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/released-mobile-paint-with-multi-touch.262645/#post-1778628

    But having all those different color masks (eyebrows, hair etc) would need quite heavy modifications..
    personally maybe i’d try just small paintable textures for each of them or even vertex painting..

    so, basically its not possible, without heavy modifications to the code..(only benefit from this package could be just taking the painting part, which works fine even in bigger resolutions..)

    Reply

  JooJoo 18/10/2014 at 21:38

  So your asset can do the spa part (washing face, etc) out of the box, but the makeup (eyeliner, eyeshadow, etc) part will be difficult without modification right? I think it would be worth getting your package in that case.

  Do you have any recommendation for a good paintable texture or vertex painting tutorial?

  Thanks for your help!

    mgear 19/10/2014 at 13:49

    Maybe not “out of the box”, still would need to modify some code.

    In the next update v1.2, there is better alpha support, that would help a lot.

    basic vertex paint: http://unitycoder.com/blog/2011/10/21/mvertexpainter-v1-0-webplayer/ (i’ve seen some free sources in unity forums also)

    basic texture paint can be done with SetPixel quite easily, http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Texture2D.SetPixel.html (it would easily work for small eyebrows alone already)

  Actually, what about a “locking mask” system like the one used in the following video…

  Basically, the first place you touch your finger, that area is “locked” as the only paintable area. If you lift your finger, you can touch down on any area again. Is this possible with your asset? Thanks again!

    mgear 19/10/2014 at 13:38

    ‘Locking mask’ is planned, if not the next update 1.2 then after that..
    (it would just do a floodfill on touch and then use the filled area as an allowed paint area mask)

  v1.2 is submitted to store (might take a week or so)

  – Added: Alpha support for paintcolor (alpha value is now used), “soft / additive painting” now works
  – Added: Public variable “BrushAlphaStrengh”, it controls additive brush alpha strength, try 0.1f or 1 or 5 to see the difference
  – Added: Public variable “UseCustomBrushAlpha”, true = take alpha from brush, false = use paintcolor alpha value
  – Added: Public variable “useAdditiveColors”, true = colors adds up slowly, false = one click will instantly set color to brush or paint color value
  – Added: Initial canvas texture is now taken as an “clearing texture” (as an canvas texture) if assigned in the material maintexture in the inspector
  – Added: Public method “ReadClearingImage()”, reads initially set maintexture from canvas (to be used as an clearing image)
  – Added: Public method “DoUndo()”, basic undo system (restores one step only)
  – Added: Alpha value slider in the palette (color picker) dialog
  – Added: Demo scene “scene_MobilePaint_EraseCanvasAlpha”
  – Added: Demo scene “scene_MobilePaint_MaskImage”

  – Fixed: More guard clauses added (check for null mask texture, check if undo enabled before can do undo etc).
  – Fixed: Custom brush now uses brush colors (instead of paintcolor)

  – Changed: Floodfill now uses alpha also to compare fill spread (only RGB was used before)
  – Changed: Public variable “drawMode” is now using DrawMode enum (list is defined at top of MobilePaint.cs)
  – Changed: Renamed public variable “screenSizeAdjust” into “canvasSizeAdjust”
  – Changed: Renamed materials
  – Changed: “maskTex” variable is removed (“maskImage” is used instead, originally maskTex was copied from “maskImage”..)
  – Changed: GUIScaler.cs now runs at Awake() instead of Start()
  – Changed: Sample brushes are now with colors
  – Changed: Renamed original demo scene into “scene_MobilePaint_default”

  – Updated: Documentation for current version

  – Cleaning: Arranged scripts into different folders
  – Cleaning: Started moving helper methods into separate script Library/PaintTools.cs

  ps. ‘Locking mask’ was not included in the 1.2 yet

    Thanks!

    There is single step undo in 1.2,
    redo could be possible with the same technique,
    multiple undos could work, just worried if they use too much memory..

    Saving image is planned,
    just the problem is that its different in all platfoms, which platform you would need?

    pc is easy, just save current image as file,
    webplayer would need some php/server scripting,
    mobiles: not sure if ios allows saving to cameraroll without native plugins?
    Android supposedly allows you to write directly to the card (with system.io) ?

  Submitted to store just now:

  v1.3
  – Added: Locking mask painting: Only paint in the area that you first click (determined by floodfill)
  – Added: Demo scene “scene_MobilePaint_PaintAreaLockMask”
  – Added: Option to disable full screen quad creation for canvas (and use existing mesh instead, used in mesh painting)
  – Added: Demo scene “scene_MobilePaint_MeshPaint”
  – Added: Option to disable previous & current brush stroke position connecting (if you paint & move fast, those positions get connected, but it causes problems when painting to custom mesh)
  – Updated: Documentation for current version
  – Cleaning: Code cleaning

  Hi, we are thinking in buying your asset for a children book we are making. In some exercises the child has to draw something, and your plugin is perfect for the task. The only concern we have is that we have to save the drawing (any image format) , maybe locally or remotely in Parse, it is posibble to extract the image representation in binary or maybe Base64 image so we can save it to a file o in some cloud storage? … Does the area were you paint is a Texture or something like that?,

  Thanks in advance, and we think we still gone a buy it, and maybe we your help implement some kind of Saving method ..

    Yes, you have direct access to the canvas main texture (as Texture2D), so just need to decide a way how/where to save it.. (that canvas is regular quad + material with texture(s))

    I am adding save examples in coming versions, only problem is, it seems for iOS devices you need native plugin to save into camera roll..(?)

    You could still save into webserver or into app data folder quite easily (system.io)

      Excellent! Thanks for the reply! And yes, for iOS it will be necessary some kind of plugin to save to the camera Roll, But I think we can save it to the persistent path in unity , something as saving xml files or scores and then syncing them to the cloud!
      We will buy it later today and we will be in touch, to let you know how we did it and if it worked…

  Hello! I have purchased your app and it is amazing. This asset is a a huge time saver and well documented. I however have 2 minor problems though.

  1. instead of the toolbar being to the right of the screen I need for the it to be on the bottom. however when I got to Canvas Size Adjustment and off set Y to -30, it will offset the top and not the bottom. inverting the value (y=30) produces a clipping error.

  2. the undo system is Awesome! however I need for the user to be able to undo 2-3x not just one

  if you could get back to me at your convenience that would be great!

    Hi,

    Ok, i’ll check about the Y problem.

    Multiple undos: Possible, currently it just creates 1 array to hold undo, but adding a list of arrays should work, i’ll try to add that in next update.

    thanks!

      couldnt get multiple undo to work yet for this v1.4 update, i’m thinking need to make “smart undo” instead. Should only save the part of the image which was modified, not whole full texture..

    Ok founded the Y-offset bug:

    MobilePaint.cs

    // find line:
    cam.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(cam.pixelWidth+canvasSizeAdjust.x, 0, cam.nearClipPlane + 0.1f))
    
    // replace that line with:
    cam.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(cam.pixelWidth+canvasSizeAdjust.x, canvasSizeAdjust.y, cam.nearClipPlane + 0.1f))

    Yes, currently its just a bunch of GUITextures used as buttons. (and they just set the canvas public properties when clicked: for example PaintColor, BrushSize.. so it should be quite simple to add custom inferface).

    Next version has basic new UI example also.

  Warning: Package is submitted with 4.6 and on the next update after this, the old demos will be replaced with new UI versions and old GUI wont be supported. (it would still work, but then you have to remove new UI related code, if want to use this in older unity versions).

  Hello, i just purchased your package and it’s really great. I have one question: i would like to use
  the CanvasWithMask material, but i would like to use for the Canvas another texture(not a white texture). Can this be done? If so, can you please tell me how?

  Reply
  • 
    mgear 28/01/2015 at 14:00

    If you assign texture to the “CanvasWithMask” material, then it will use that as canvas material (instead of clearing to white).

    It happens at InitializeEverything() and there “usingClearingImage” gets set to true, if mainTex has some material.

      Thanks for your quick reply. I tried to use another texture and it behaves the way you say, the only problem is that what i paint doesn’t show up over that texture. If i use a png texture with transparency then it behaves like a mask. So, what i want to achieve is to draw on top of that texture.
      Also, can i mix the custom brush texture with color? If i use a white brush texture, i would like to be able to draw with different colors of that brush texture. Can this be done?

        hmm.. i guess cannot do that without few modifications in the current version, i’ll add example in next update. (temporary workaround could be: if make the canvas cleared with transparent and then have another full screen quad at the back, with your image..)

        Custom brush with selected color:
        Can add that in next update also. temporary workaround would be: Modify “DrawCustomBrush()”, inside the for loop, it takes color from “customBrushBytes”, so replace those with values from “paintColor”..

  Hi

  this works in a pc with windows 7 multitouch (with multitouch monitor) or only in mobile devices?

  Reply
  • 
    mgear 02/03/2015 at 00:05

    Have not tested with multitouch monitor..
    there are 2 “modes”:
    – Mouse painting ( uses Input.GetMouseButton() and mouse position)
    – Touch painting ( uses Touch() to get touch positions)

    So if win7+touch monitor supports those unity Touch() events, then multitouch paint should work.

    In short:
    – Take mainTexture from painting canvas : http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Material.GetTexture.html
    – Then convert to bytearray : http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Texture2D.EncodeToPNG.html
    – Then save to file with System.IO: File.WriteAllBytes(Application.dataPath + “image.png”, bytes);

    But might have differences between platforms, and system.io doesnt work in webplayer

        Just my 2 cents.
        I actually tested what you suggested for saving the image and it works, first taking the maintexture, encoding to png and saving it to persistentDataPath (instead of datapath).

        public override void Save()
        {
        Texture2D tex = painter.renderer.material.mainTexture as Texture2D;
        var bytes = tex.EncodeToPNG();
        // Not works for all platforms webplayer for example
        System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(Application.persistentDataPath + “/” + KeyID + “.png”, bytes);

        }

        Then another user posted how to retrieve the image save, and also worked what you suggested, but instead of making public Initialize everything I added a public method to mobile paint to Load a image from a File.

        public void LoadCanvasImage(string FilePath, int height,int width)
        {
        if (System.IO.File.Exists(FilePath))
        {
        var bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(FilePath);
        var tex = new Texture2D(height, width);
        tex.LoadImage(bytes);
        renderer.material.mainTexture = tex;
        InitializeEverything();
        }
        }

    To use as a mask or as canvas (paintable) ?

    Currently have to do something like this with your custom script:
    – Assign texture to the paint canvas material (_MainTex)
    – Call MobilePaint.InitializeEverything() // might have to make it public if it wasnt in the current version)
    – Test

    for mask:
    – Assign texture to the MobilePaint component: MaskTexture and enable [x]Use mask texture, if not enabled
    – Call MobilePaint.InitializeEverything() // might have to make it public if it wasnt in the current version)
    – Test

    I’m updating these methods so that image change is easier in coming versions though.

      I am currently using 1.3, do you recommend updating the plugin, actually it works well for me now, but I don’t know if there are major issues. For retrieving the image I added a public method to Mobilepaint (in the meantime you add yours) …
      public void LoadCanvasImage(string FilePath, int height,int width)
      {
      if (System.IO.File.Exists(FilePath))
      {
      var bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(FilePath);

        mgear 18/03/2015 at 02:09

        That most likely happens because it takes the current image as the clearing image (so if you click clear, it doesnt fill it with empty pixels, instead it uses that image which was read as clearing image)

        Look for “usingClearingImage = true;”, there it reads the current assigned texture from material as clearing image (into clearPixels[] array), probably should disable that or add option to do so..

        Other solution could be making ClearWithEmpty() function just to cleanup the pixels array with empty..

    – Assign background image and draw on that background image

    Or what do you mean by “map as background”, what kind of map ?

    It works, just import the project to Unity5 from asset store and let unity do that automatic script update. (where it says “Did you made backup… Yes, go ahead”) and then its ready to use.

      Thank you for responding quickly, I tried that but examples do not work,

      I am on Unity 5 pro

      Initially I get, Material doesn’t have a texture property ‘5f4d61696e546578’
      I replace the targetTexture with _MainTex in the inspector, error goes away,
      however when I run it, both in editor or mobile, drawings do not appear.

      any suggestions?

  Submitted v1.8 ** (with 4.6.0, next updates will most likely will be in Unity5 only) **

  – Added: painting with texture pattern (see scene “scene_MobilePaint_NewUI_PaintWithPattern”)
  – Added: public ReadCurrentCustomPattern(), reads current selected pattern texture pixels
  – Added: public GetCanvasAsTexture(), returns current drawing layer (the pixels array) as Texture2D
  – Added: public GetScreenshot(), returns current scene screenshot (without UI) as Texture2D
  – Added: “scene_SaveScreenshotToFile” example scene to test saving screenshots to file

  – Fixed: Now you can paint all the way to the image borders also

  – Changed: “canDrawOnBlack” is not properly working yet, now disabled on some fill modes

  Is it possible to create a straight line with this tool so that I can make geometric objects?

  Reply
  • 
    mgear 06/07/2015 at 20:10

    Could be possible to add that, few questions:
    – How the painting of lines should happen:
    (a) Click start point, Click end point, line appears between them.
    (b) Click start point, keep dragging around, line preview is displayed from start to current position, lift finger/release button and line appears between start-end

    Also would it require snapping then?
    (like to ends of those lines, basically need to keep list of those points, since they are not separate elements, all is drawn into the texture)

      Thank you mGear for your quick response. I’m really interested in purchasing this asset.

      For the painting of lines I prefer scenario B so that the user can have visual feedback. Also it should have snapping so that the geometry can close cleanly. If user can switch from free drawing to geometric drawing that would be great.

      Cheers!

        Basic line drawing works now: http://pasteboard.co/1WhiuJh7.gif

        – Its separate drawing mode, so can switch between modes
        – currently using linerenderer as preview, not so pretty, but most likely will stay for initial release (could try to add rounding to end of lines)

        I’ll look into snapping later this week hopefully.
        And it still needs some other work too (make it work with touch also, adjust line width, color based on current brush size/color, etc)

  Hey there! I’m interested in acquiring your plugin, it does seem great, but as far as I’m aware you’ve only got demos for much older versions (1.0 and 1.1, as far as I could tell) than the current one, which seems to be 1.8.

  Hi there. Your asset looks wonderful. Before I purchase it, I was wondering if it is right for what I need. I have a chalk board and an easel that is only about a fifth of the screen…I was wondering if I can somehow attach the script to one of these objects (such as the easel or the chalkboard) and allow the player to just draw on that item. It will be tiny, but it is part of a little dollhouse game, so it is just supposed to be a cute little extra for the game. Would this script be right for that?

  Thank you!

    mgear 27/07/2015 at 08:58

    Hi! yes, you can attach the script to mesh (with mesh collider)
    and then in the inspector:
    disable option “[ ] Create canvas mesh”. (so it uses the current mesh, instead of full screen quad)
    and probably need to set separate layer for the object and assign “Paint Layer Mask” (so that the drawing raycast doesnt hit other objects).

      Thank you so much for your help. I just purchased your wonderful asset. I did what you said and for some reason, it makes it so the entire scene is zoomed out so you can’t see it. Here is a picture of what happens:

      and here is a picture of the settings I have:

      Could it have anything to do with this being a 2d game and using a 3d plane for the shape to put the mesh on?

        Aha, good catch! There is one line of code, MobilePaint.cs around line 214 or so:
        Camera.main.orthographicSize = Screen.height / 2;
        Comment that line out, its not needed.

        Also you can disable “[ ] Hide UI While painting”, so the paint UI wont cause errors.

        Yes, you can also email the scene, address is on the documentation.

        Or test these:
        – Check that the EaselPlane has “CanvasDefault” material assigned to it

        in around line 259 or so, manually assign some texture size, instead of using screen size:
        // original
        texWidth = (int)(Screen.width*resolutionScaler+canvasSizeAdjust.x);
        texHeight = (int)(Screen.height*resolutionScaler+canvasSizeAdjust.y);

        // try with this or other values
        texWidth = 256;
        texHeight = 256;

        That is actually limitation/bug when using custom mesh, I’ll have to fix that in next version.

    assign texture to the material maintexture. (then it will be read on start and if you press clear, it will clear to that texture)

    example: open demo scene “scene_MobilePaint_NewUI_Default”,
    Select “DrawingPlaneCanvas” gameobject,
    Scroll down to “CanvasDefault” material in inspector,
    assign texture to the material. *Texture needs to be readable: [x] Read/Write enabled in texture import settings

  Hi there. In order to use a background image (like you would in a coloring book), it looks like you use a transparent png file. I did that, but it doesn’t work on my image, although it works perfectly with your sample image..(sample_linedrawing_noalpha.png). How do I save my png file so it will work on my image? (I’m talking about in the mask texture). Thank you!

        If you assign that brown paper as main texture to the drawingcanvas material, it should work. (basically you are then painting on that image..)

        I’ll try to remember to add example scene for having static background (separate from drawing canvas),
        or you could test scene “scene_MobilePaint_NewUI_EraseCanvasAlphaWithMask”, make your own separate gameobject with brown paper background (where the example has that cube) and set paint color alpha to 255 (not transparent), and set clear color alpha to 0, so the drawing area is transparent.

          Wow! Worked like a charm…thank you so much! One more question. Is there a way to make the brush size less than 1. I tried doing it in the code to change the brush size variable to float so I could make it less than 1 but that didn’t work. Its fine if there is no way, just asking.

          Thank you!
      • 
        mgear 13/08/2015 at 09:15

        brush size, 1 pixel is minimum.. If you need it to be smaller, have to increase the resolution. (you can test it with scene “scene_MobilePaint_NewUI_Default”, set resolutionScaler=2 *double resolution, and remove any texture from material maintexture, if there is any).

        Currently resolutionScaler doesnt support scaling images, so if any image or mask is assigned, it will take the texture resolution, so then you could double your texture resolution to have higher resolution.

          Thank you very much for explaining that to me. It did work nicely in the “scene_MobilePaint_NewUI_Default” scene. Like you said, it wouldn’t work on the texture in my scene. When you say make the texture a higher resolution, do you mean in Photoshop, or do you mean in Unity?

        Higher resolution image: make it outside unity, If you texture size is for example 1024×512, then that is the canvas resolution.

  Hi! I’m interested in buy this plug in. I want to develop a make up game with one layer for each make up tool.
  1 – Can I use your plug-in for this purpose?
  2 – Does this works with unity Free v4.6 ?
  3 – Is the paint api code separed from the gui code as mentioned some coments above?
  4 – Do you use RenderTexture? or Texture2D? Or what?
  5 – Does this asset has public methods api, or it’s only intended for use as a “visual” plug-in?
  Thanks.

    mgear 01/09/2015 at 01:13

    1. Not without modifying code (Currently the “layer” is just separate texture in the shader, so that would need custom shader to allow more layers, or alternatively, maybe could have multiple drawing canvases, transparent, and toggle between them depending which layer you are painting..)

    2. Yes, but latest version is uploaded with 5.1, so the example scenes wont open in 4.x

    3. Not completely yet, next version will have custom override example, to override UI hiding/showing methods from main class, but it doesnt solve all UI reference issues yet.

    4. Texture2D on full screen quad mesh+mesh collider (painting with raycast)

    5. It has few public methods, like for directly drawing to coordinates, clearing, getting image as texture, setting draw modes, set brush sizes, set paint colors.. new ones can be added by request.

    So in short, you would need to modify the main script to use it for your app, and probably shaders also. But of course i’ll add those into wishlist, so that eventually could use it easier for makeup apps (*still that probably takes a month or 2 for bigger few features)

      4- then, do you use setPixels to draw the píxels on the Texture2D? Afaik GetPixels/Set Pixels + Texture2D are TOO Slow for performance.

        Not using SetPixels.

        For makeup app I think SetPixels would still work fine
        (because you could have smaller separate texture planes, 1 around eyes, 1 for lips etc, instead of full screen textures)

      Transparent drawing canvas works and next update (v1.9) includes example scene with UI Image behind drawing canvas (so you can for example erase canvas and reveal the image behind).

      Getting image from device, not tested, will try to test that soon.
      Are you mainly using iOS or Android?

      (Buf if you can access the image, then it should be just matter of passing it as Texture2D to mobilepaint canvas, or as separate image behind it)

    you can adjust camera settings, drawing still works, but would have to add some way to detect pinch zoom, before it starts drawing, otherwise it would draw on those pinch zoom touch positions..

  1- can this plugin paint on mesh with transparent color but when start coloring over existing color it does not mix the 2 colors instead it display only the new color

  2- flood fill does it work for any texture2D that the user upload from the camera roll or it has to be predefined images

  Reply

    1. It should work, but the current package doesnt have mesh paint shader which supports transparency(alpha)..
    2. It doesnt have to be predefined image, as long as the texture can be written (drawn) to it would work (in the editor it needs that [x] read/write enabled). I have not tested camera roll images, but loading image from web with “www . texture” and setting it as mask texture works (if its same resolution as the canvas, as it wont currently get resized..)

        Yes, should have basic eraser demo in next update (probably it just uses background color to “erase”, and sets brush size to some default eraser size when eraser mode is enabled)

        Undo/Redo is currently bit complicated, as the system now always paints directly to the texture (meaning, would have to keep several copies of the whole texture or painted areas, and that would take much more memory, which could cause problems in mobile..)
        So that one needs a bit more thought.. (one option being that painted strokes would be separate meshes, and would be applied to the main texture only after certain steps..)

        If you want to have fixed image as canvas (basically a background) then could assign it behind the canvas as separate image, instead of having it in the drawing canvas. (that way it doesn’t get modified with paint or erase etc). Would that work in your app?

          but if the user select part of the image with the wand tool then erased part of his selection (using transparent color) then the user cant select the part that he erased with the wand tool again cuz it has the transparent color.
          example :
          1- user select the car wheel with the magic tool
          2- the magic tool will select the wheel with some part of the door
          3- user erase the part of the door selection and keep only the wheel
          4- the user want to select the door now but he cant select the whole door cuz part of the door was colored with transparent color (Eraser) and if the user tries to select the erased area it will be selected as solid color area not as image pixels colors.

  Hello, I bought your script. As mentioned previously it should have an eraser and maybe some other basic stuff like tools to draw a square, or circle of a certain size. The fact that you thought it was more important to paint with stars than to erase stuff kind of concerns me, but don’t worry I made it myself. The texture you paint on does not translate well at all to other resolutions. It jumps all around the screen or change size. I would like it to preserve its original size always, no fancy stuff that implements Screen.width and height to god knows what, the only thing I know is that it breaks the whole thing when you change the resolution.

    Yeah, could be so (although dedicated eraser tool was quite a recent new request, maybe since
    its possible to assign one button as “eraser”, by having color selector for background color)

    Multi-resolution has not been requested before either, it would be certainly useful, and it does breaks currently because of depending on screen sizes. Would need to re-initialize canvas on screen size change.

  I have run into a problem. Whenever I call upon the paint scene it increases the memory with 2.5-2.6 MB! This increase NEVER, it only happens once, but it’s still annoying. I tried running System.GC.Collect() and Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets(). So what is causing this increase and how do I dispose of it?

      Since I apparently can’t include pictures in here, I will tell you what I observed from the profiler on the PC. I click on a button which takes me to the paint scene, the memory jumped up as usual, I looked at the profiler and saw that the scripts skyrocketed the moment it happened. Same thing on mobile.

        Not possible in current version (would need modifications, to use the texture in rawImage).

        And the drawing plane currently needs mesh renderer, mesh collider to work, also it checks if UI element is active (clicked) during drawing to detect if UI buttons are clicked.. so that would need to be modified also..

    Hi, Yes, its possible (there are examples scenes to reveal image on background), but you still need to implement the logic to load your own images as background, or if you want to access device photos – apparently that needs native plugins to get access for gallery..

  Hi, Mobile Paint looks pretty good!

  I plan to use it on a mac with different inputs acting as brushes – similar to touches.
  Is it possible to have a different brush or color assigned to each input?

  And could you please confirm these? Reading these posts it seems like it is possible but not really clear:
  – Import my own brushes
  – Paint on a transparent plane (a texture with alpha channel?)

  Cheers!

    mgear 07/09/2016 at 23:14

    Hi, sorry for the delay,

    What are the different inputs?
    Currently there is one “paintColor” that is used for each touch (paints with same color),
    so you would need to change paintColor when each input takes place.. not 100% if it works properly when 10 inputs would happen at the same time, but in theory yes.

    – Can use custom brushes, which are just textures (so it splats them while drawing, but not exactly realistic brushes..)
    – Yes, can paint with alpha 0-1, or draw into canvas that is transparent (cleared with clear color)

    svg:
    – I tested it briefly here, https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/released-mobile-paint-with-multi-touch.262645/page-3#post-2301934
    But not supported in the package (meaning, you need to do some modifications, to import svg yourself using some svg plugin, create texture2D from that svg, and put that texture into the drawing canvas..)

    resolution:
    – In general: the higher the resolution, the slower the drawing.. (especially android devices start to get slow with full resolution)
    Someone mentioned that he modified the plugin to use Alpha8 texture format for the mask (black outlines), https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/TextureFormat.Alpha8.html that is faster and smaller than RGBA

        You mean, SVG image would create the mask layer?
        If you look the example scene “scene_MobilePaint_NewUI_PaintAreaLockMask.unity” that should work then, if you get the svg image into that mask layer.. or try the “scene_MobilePaint_SetNewLockingMask.unity” scene, it shows how to assign new mask image.

  Hi could you help me with setting up my scene?

  I have a game object with 2d sprites in it. On Top of that I have my canvas that is an irregular shape.

  I would like to be able to only paint on my canvas. I guess it needs to be “Transparent” and have a “mask”.

  I have tried various settings but my painting either does not appear or appears behind my background sprites.

  Thanks,

    If you open scene “MobilePaint_EraseCanvasAlphaWithImage”,
    then add sprites (at Z = 0), then set “DrawingPlaneCanvas” gameobject Z = -1 or so,
    then sprites are behind the canvas.

  I have an Image (Image1) as the background, and would like to overlay this as a transparent drawable layer above Image1.

    With canvas ScreenSpace – Camera it works, can have UI image as background and drawing plane on top of it (there is example scene for that), but with Overlay, need to move the canvas a bit manually (basically set as a child of camera and adjust to good distance, and need to disable raycasting in the Canvas, so that it doesnt block drawing.. so needs some adjusting)

    2) There is example scene for getting reference size and position from canvas panel (so drawing area appears on that spot, actually example seems to use ScreenSpace overlay, so it might work). But might need some manual adjusting, depending on your canvas settings..

    i think i have asset store vouchers left for this plugin so email me if you want a free version.

    easiest way would probably be to modify the “void UpdateTexture()”
    that is where pixels are set into that drawingTexture.

    so you could have array of drawingTextures, and then your modified UpdateTexture() method would draw into one of those textures..

    and could have custom shader with multiple textures overlayed, or even having those target textures on separate (UI) canvases perhaps..

    inside Update() loop, would need to add check for which canvas is clicked (and then not call touchpaint() if its the other),
    otherwise both canvases would try to draw.

    or use different paintlayermask, not sure if works.

  When I set the data texture Filter Mode = Bilinear to make the image sharper than Point(no filter), when drawing, I will not be able to fill all the color when touching the black border to lock the area. I increased or decreased the paintThreshold variable, then when it gets closer to 255 It will fill in more clearly but not completely and the white pixels still appear without filling, so how can I fix that?
