PATH2SLICES
Path2Slices — Illustrator → Resolume Arena
Stop manually tracing polygons in Resolume. Design your slice layout in Illustrator and export it straight into Resolume Arena's Advanced Output — in seconds.
Layers become screens. Shapes become polygon slices. Names carry over. It just works.
HOW IT WORKS
- Design your layout in Adobe Illustrator
- Run the script (File > Scripts > Path2Slices)
- Your XML saves directly to Resolume's Advanced Output presets folder
- Load it in Arena — done
