Spine ESS/PRO features clarification

groo

Hi, just a quick clarification, I just started checking out Spine, so I wanted to check if I got everything right before purchasing a licence:

The list of features at the Purchase page indicates that I need the Professional version to use Meshes and Mesh deformation. However, does this mean I can still individually scale each Slot (if I got the naming right) by x and y axes independently (i.e. skew them), in the Essential edition?
In your experience (I know this is highly opinionated, but this info might be useful), are there some features in the Pro version that will limit my Essential edition experience, but are not so obvious from the Purchase page?
In practice, is it possible to get purely geometric shapes using the Meshes feature with minimum sized textures? I.e. if my characters are really simple and made of geometric shapes, it seems like I could get rather good resolution independence by defining them as meshes, and using tiny textures basically to provide only their color?

1) Yes, you can use scaling in ESS and this can result in skew.

2) Over time as we have added features to PRO, we have provided the basic features in ESS. Eg, ESS used to not have auto key or ghosting, but now it does. Meshes (including FFD and weights) and IK are the primary reasons to use PRO. You can upgrade from ESS to PRO whenever you like. A lot can be done with ESS, eg check out Super Spineboy.

3) Yes, this is totally feasible. Eg, this video wasn't made with Spine, but it uses the technique:

A potential downside is that the edges of your mesh can be jagged unless you can do some sort of antialiasing with your game toolkit.
