Zwoptex is a great tool – I have used it in many apps and it has saved me a ton of time! If you’ve used Cocos2D for a while, you may have used a tool called Zwoptex that helps you make sprite sheets. In Cocos2D, it’s important to combine your sprites into large images called sprite sheets, in order to get the best preformance for your games. To sum up this approach we get all assets on one 'sheet' and the positional data and CSS classes… it seems like some additional work, but the payoff is easy to update, responsive and the mask can be even reduced to 50% size and optimized using ImageAlpha (4-32 colors for example).Optimize texture usage with Texture Packer and Pixel Formats! You can also use the PNG to create your own JPG using Photoshop (after saving the Alpha-Mask from it). It's important because the CSS is also rewritten with the JPEG path.

The final usage step is to change the exporter to JPEG and re(export) and there you can set the quality. It's worth the money if you use it for commercial work (in my opinion also for fun).Īs described in the tutorial above, the PNG that Texture-Packer produces can be big… is only used to extract an alpha mask and get the packed layout.
