Asset Preview ​

One of Sharp Stock's core advantages is its powerful built-in preview engine. Beyond basic static thumbnails, the software provides deep interactive preview functions for various complex development formats.

1. Preview Area Layout ​

When a specific asset is selected, the preview area of the right detail panel automatically switches modes based on the file type:

  • Interactive Viewport: Provides a zoomable and pannable virtual canvas for images, Spine animations, and 3D models.
  • Playback Controls: Provides play, pause, loop toggles, and playback speed adjustments for Spine animations, audio, and video assets.
  • Real-time Data Feedback: Displays current zoom levels, playback progress, or keyframe information at the edges of the preview area.

2. In-depth Preview Capabilities for Different Types ​

Spine Skeletal Animation ​

  • Dynamic Interaction: Supports free switching of skins (Skin) and animation actions (Animation).
  • Debugging Observation: Real-time observation of bone binding relationships and animation trajectories.

Spine Preview

Texture Atlas (Atlas / Plist) ​

  • Sub-region Parsing: Automatically parses and highlights all sub-regions (Regions) contained within the atlas and their corresponding names.

Plist Preview

3D Models ​

  • All-round Observation: Supports 360-degree rotation, zooming, and detailed observation of 3D assets from multiple angles.

Sprite Animation (Sprites) ​

  • Simulated Playback: Supports loop-playing a group of aggregated sprites as an animation to preview animation rhythm.

3. Interaction Guide ​

  • Expanded Preview: After selecting a single asset, press Space to expand it to the full application window (assets without interactive preview show the same icon as in the asset grid). The current filename is shown at the top center. Click the × button in the top-right corner, or press Space or Esc again to close expanded preview.
  • Switch assets in expanded preview: While expanded preview is open, press ← / → or ↑ / ↓ to move to the previous or next asset in the current list without closing preview (similar to Finder Quick Look).
  • Stepless Zooming: Scroll the mouse wheel within the preview viewport to zoom in or out on assets to see details.
  • Viewport Panning: Hold the middle mouse button or right button and drag within the viewport to freely pan the current observation view.
  • Action Switching: When previewing Spine assets, click names in the action list to immediately switch the current demonstration action.
  • Toolbar Operations: A quick toolbar is located at the bottom of the preview area, providing buttons for one-click view reset, fitting to window, etc.

NOTE

The smoothness of the preview function depends on your hardware configuration and the complexity of the asset file.
