Use Masks to Get Creative with Watch Faces

watch face studio (wfs) is a powerful tool for creating custom watch faces for galaxy watches running on wear os powered by samsung. wfs has many features that enable you to create attractive watch faces, such as masking. masking is used to selectively hide or reveal specific parts of a specific layer. you can use it to enhance visual impact, create special effects, or draw focus to specific areas of an image. in wfs, a mask is defined by the bottommost layer of the layers to be masked. in other words, the lowest layer is a mask container that partially hides the layers above it. this article describes how you can use masks in wfs to create a simple watch face with a color-changing effect on the watch index and date. at the end of this blog, you will find a sample project which i am going to demonstrate here. color-changing watch index to create a watch index that appears to change color, define a watch index that selectively shows a rotating image. step 1: create a rotating image first, create an image for the colors of the watch index. to set the image to rotate each second, in the image properties, enter the following tag expression as the rotation angle: [sec]*60 figure 1: define the rotating image step 2: add the watch index next, add a suitable watch index, such as one consisting of digits. since we want the color image to show through the digits on the watch index, move the watch index layer below the image layer. the watch index layer will become the mask container. figure 2: watch index layer below image layer step 3: create the mask select both the image and watch index layers and click “mask.” figure 3: create the mask the image layer is now masked by the watch index. as the image layer rotates, the portion visible through the watch index changes, creating the appearance of a changing color background. figure 4: watch index with color-change effect color-changing date text a mask can also be applied to multiple layers simultaneously. combined with tag expressions, you can create effects such as colors that scroll across text. step 1: create and configure the color images create seven images in different colors on separate layers. to make each image move sideways every second, in the image properties for each layer, define the tag expression for image placement using the following formula: [sec] <= x ? 0 : ([sec] - x)*4 in the formula, replace “x” with “0” for the topmost layer, “10” for the second layer, and so on, incrementing by 10 for each layer. do not define a tag expression for the bottommost layer. figure 5: define tag expressions when the seconds value is equal to or less than x, the image is in its initial position. as the second value increments past x, each second the image moves 4 pixels to the right. to make it easier to work with the set of color images, select all of them and add them to a group. step 2: add the date component and mask create a digital clock date component and adjust its size to cover the color images. in a similar way to creating the mask for the watch index, move the date component to the bottom layer. select it and all the color images above it, then click “mask.” all the color image layers are simultaneously masked by the date text. figure 6: masked date component to complete the watch face, add watch hands to it. watch face preview when you have implemented both the watch index and date, you can preview the watch face in wfs. download the sample project from here and open it with watch face studio. click “run” and select “on watch” to see how the watch face looks on a real device. figure 7: watch face preview note : watch faces with multiple masks can affect device performance. conclusion image masking is a powerful technique that can be used to enhance or manipulate images in various ways. watch face studio makes it easy and intuitive to implement masked text layers in your design, enabling you to create unique and attractive watch faces. for more information about watch face studio, see the watch face studio documentation. you can also visit the samsung developers forum, an active and friendly community where you can ask for and receive help with your application development. if you face any issue regarding wfs, feel free to contact the developer technical support team. sample mask project (247kb) apr. 18, 2023

Using Animation to Create Dynamic Watch Faces

add a new dimension to your watch face and bring it to life using animation. with watch face studio (wfs), it’s easy to add animations to watch faces without coding. you can use animations in various formats to create aesthetic and beautiful, yet optimized watch faces for smartwatches that run on wear os. wfs also enables you to configure animations to respond to user interaction. this tutorial introduces various animation features that can be configured in wfs and tips for creating visually enchanting experiences on the watch face canvas. despite the limited space, the possibilities are endless! animation types watch face studio supports implementing animations in several formats: image sequence of png or jpg frames the png and jpg image formats support millions of colors. higher resolution images result in higher quality animation, at the cost of file size. animated gif used for simpler graphics, the gif format is lossless and supports 256 colors. animated webp webp is a popular image format that supports millions of colors in a compact file size. follow along with the demonstration in this tutorial by downloading the sample project. the watch face in the sample project includes a rainbow that appears when the watch face turns on, clouds that drift continuously across the sky, a pinwheel that spins when tapped, and blowing bubbles that emerge at regular time intervals. implementing animations you can use any design tool to create your animation as a sequence of images, animated gif, or animated webp file. notethe animation frame rate in wfs is fixed at 15 fps. animated image sequence to create the pinwheel animation from a series of images: in wfs, select add component > animation > image sequence. figure 1: add image sequence the file browser opens. select the images to include in the sequence and click open. figure 2: select images for the sequence the selected files are added to a single sequence layer in the watch face project. to modify and preview the animation, select the image sequence from the layer list. figure 3. edit image sequence edit the animation: to change the order of the images, remove images, or add images, select import image. to make the animation slower, increase the frame number of any image. to preview the animation, click play. tipif the same image is used repeatedly, increase the number of frames for that image. this optimizes memory usage and reduces the file size of your watch face. figure 4: import additional images, define number of frames, preview animation multimedia file i have created three more animations, “rainbow.webp,” “cloud.gif” and “bubble_up.gif,” using a design tool and will add them in this demonstration. you can follow the steps below to add these multimedia-type animations. in wfs, select add component > animation > animated gif/webp. the file browser opens. select the desired animation file to import and click open. figure 5: open multimedia file tipto implement multiple animations that users can select from, add animation files in the “style” tab. for more information, see style tab. figure 6: add multimedia in style tab triggering animations you can define a trigger for each animation. triggers are conditions that define when and how the animation is played. play when watch face on to play the cloud animation continuously whenever the watch face is on, in the “properties” tab for the animation, define “watchface on” as its trigger and enable “auto replay.” figure 7: continuous play when watch face on to play the rainbow animation only once when the watch face turns on, stopping on the last animation frame, define “watchface on” as its trigger, but enable “resume playback.” figure 8: play once when watch face on play when tapped to play the pinwheel animation whenever the pinwheel image is tapped, define “tap” as its trigger. define the animation to start playing with a 1 second delay, and enable the “auto replay” and “repeat delay” options. figure 9: play animation when tapped play at time interval to play the bubble animation each minute, define “every min” as its trigger. make the bubbles disappear at the end of the animation by enabling “hide after finished.” figure 10: play at defined time interval watch face preview to preview the watch face in the sample project, open the project in watch face studio, click “run,” and select “on watch.” figure 11: sample project watch face performance tips when designing watch face animations, bear in mind the following concepts to ensure optimal performance: battery consumption animated elements can consume battery power more quickly than static graphics. consider the balance between animation complexity and images in your watch face design. processing power complex animation may require more processing power so hardware limitations of the watch may lead to laggy or choppy performance resource efficiency the greater the animation file size, image resolution, or number of frames, the more resources are needed to display the animation. optimize your graphics to avoid sluggish performance. user experience choppy or jarring animations can disrupt the user experience. for example, since multimedia images are loaded asynchronously, there can be delays in starting animations. summary animations can increase the user’s engagement with your watch face design and enhance their time-keeping experience. despite the limitations of watch hardware, watch face studio gives you tools to unlock your creative potential and easily implement and configure optimized animations for your watch face designs. if you have questions about or need help with the information in this tutorial, you can share your queries on the samsung developers forum or contact us through samsung developer support.
