Hey everyone,

Wallpaper Engine 2.4 largely builds on top of the new 3D features we have added with the previous update but also improves on the existing 2D wallpaper feature set.

As an extension to the new lighting features we have added in the last updates, we are introducing real-time shadows for 3D models. You can enable shadows for your lights and models with just a few simple steps. Another addition to the lighting features of Wallpaper Engine is a new volumetric lighting system. This works especially well in combination with Bloom and Display HDR, as it allows you to create very scenic scenarios with lights.

As always, we have prepared a tutorial on our designer documentation website which you can use as a step-by-step guide:

• 3D Advanced Lighting - Wallpaper Engine Designer Documentation[docs.wallpaperengine.io]

We also took some time to experiment with shaders for model textures. We have added three shaders which you can make use of:


Take a look at our designer documentation to learn more about these shaders and how to utilize them:

• 3D Model Shaders - Wallpaper Engine Designer Documentation[docs.wallpaperengine.io]

Another small yet useful addition are the new fog features. The new distance and height fog settings allow you to improve the visuals your environment. Take a look at the following guide to learn more:

• 3D Distance Fog - Wallpaper Engine Designer Documentation[docs.wallpaperengine.io]

One more addition to lights, which is available in 2D and 3D wallpapers, is the new texture projection feature. It allows you to project an image, a video or even an entire layer including all effects using a spot light which enables some interesting new approaches to lighting.

Learn more about this in our designer docs:

• Texture Projection - Wallpaper Engine Designer Documentation[docs.wallpaperengine.io]

Previously, it was not possible to store data in Scenescript across system restarts. We are now adding the ability to store data in a local storage so that it can be accessed again from the same wallpaper even after a system or program restart. This allows you to store some data and re-use it again at a later time. As a showcase, we have updated the existing Dino Run default wallpaper with a new high-score element in the upper right corner.

To learn more about this feature, see our Wallpaper Engine Designer Documentation:

• Local Storage in SceneScript - Wallpaper Engine Designer Documentation[docs.wallpaperengine.io]

Another new feature that we have created is the ability to animate the shape of puppet warp textures. This allows for very precise facial animations along the geometry of a puppet warp texture.

As part of the update, we have also overhauled the geometry setup for puppet warp models and added the ability to precisely reposition each element of the geometry.

To learn more about these changes, take a look at the relevant designer documentation[docs.wallpaperengine.io].

This update adds the ability to test user properties while previewing the wallpaper in the editor. Up until now, this was only possible when actually applying the wallpaper and we hope this change will speed up the testing process for you. You can find the new User Properties tab at the bottom of the editor for scene wallpapers, if it is missing for you, you can get it back by resetting the editor layout or opening it from the view menu.

This update also introduces a new grouping feature for user properties, allowing for a less cluttered wallpaper configuration, as multiple related properties can be hidden away in a group:

Learn more about this feature in our designer documentation[docs.wallpaperengine.io].

Hey everyone,

Wallpaper Engine 2.3 completely overhauls support for 3D wallpapers, improves real-time lighting with additional light types and adds a new hierarchy and attachment system.

We are introducing a brand new model editor that allows you to import FBX model files with skeletal and vertex animations. Models can now also have a much more complex material setup similar to what can already be done in 2D wallpapers for puppets, including physical-based rendering "PBR" through various texture maps. In simple terms, you can now configure model materials to properly represent different substances like a shiny piece of metal or a piece of clothing.

The model editor allows you to organize animations inside the model data and turn them into clips that you can use in your wallpaper. On top of that, you can configure individual model bones as physics (jiggle) bones and add custom logic via SceneScript events.

We have created a series of 3D-related tutorials, be sure to check them out on our designer documentation website[docs.wallpaperengine.io].

Wallpaper Engine also introduces a new camera system that brings it in line with all of the improvements we have made to the editor in the latest updates and allows for much more complex and smoother camera movements through timeline animations.

We are also expanding on the real-time lighting features for puppet warp layers. Real-time lighting works well in both 2D and 3D scenarios, so these changes are useful for all types of wallpapers.

Wallpaper Engine was previously limited to 4 real-time lights per wallpaper, we have increased this limit to 12 which enables more complex scenarios. We are also introducing three new types of lighting. Previously, all lights were simple point lights that are comparable to light bulbs emitting their light evenly from one spot. Take a look at all the light types that are now available in the editor:

• Click here[docs.wallpaperengine.io] to learn more about the new light types.

This update also introduces a new hierarchy system in the asset list. This allows you to attach an asset to another parent asset. If the parent asset is moved, rotated or scaled, so will all its children.
This is yet another feature that is useful in both 2D and 3D scenarios, as it greatly simplifies the way that you can link multiple objects with each other, even across complex animations. Take a look at the following example, where we have attached a light to a moving model with just a few button clicks:

To learn more about the new hierarchy and attachment system, take a look at the following tutorials:

• Basic Asset Hierarchy Guide[docs.wallpaperengine.io]
  
• 2D Puppet Warp Attachments Guide[docs.wallpaperengine.io]
  
• 3D Model Attachments Guide[docs.wallpaperengine.io]

Be sure to check out the full changelog here:

• Added skeletal animation and blend shape animation support to models imported from FBX files.
  
• Added bone constraints / physics simulation support for models with a skeleton.
  
• Made 3D models automatically scale on import if their scaling doesn't match Wallpaper Engine.
  
• Added new model shader with physically based rendering ("PBR") settings.
  
• Added pre-rendering system to compose layer, so that image effects can be applied to 3D models and particles on 2D wallpapers.

Hey everyone,

today we are releasing Wallpaper Engine 2.2 which comes with new editor effects, support for dynamic album covers and song data in wallpapers and a large set of improvements throughout the app and the wallpaper editor.


A long standing feature request was to implement the ability to have song data and album covers to be part of wallpapers. With Wallpaper Engine 2.2, we have now made this possible, as long as your media player provides this data to the Windows media overlay that appears in the upper left corner.

Take a look at the following sample wallpaper we created. The vinyl record will change the album cover to the currently playing album from Spotify:

Interested in using this record player as a wallpaper or screensaver? Click here to download it.

This functionality will work with any music player as long as it sends its album cover data to the Windows media overlay (visible in the upper left of the showcase above). You may need to enable this in the settings of your media player.

If you want to utilize this feature in your own wallpapers, be sure to check out our designer documentation which covers this topic in great detail:

• Album Cover Integration[docs.wallpaperengine.io]

If you are using a wallpaper with this feature but the album covers do not appear for you or if you have another question or issue, be sure to first check out our help website, as it helps you to resolve the most common problems regarding this feature:

• Help with Wallpaper Engine: Album Cover & Media Data Feature[help.wallpaperengine.io]

A new effect in the editor allows you to easily add dynamic fluid simulation to your wallpapers. The fluid simulation makes it possible to create interactive fluid, fire or smoke-like effects. Support for interactivity with the mouse cursor is included and you can create a collision mask, which allows the simulated fluid to bounce off of objects in the wallpaper.

As usual, we have created an extensive documentation for this effect on our designer documentation website, be sure to check it out and give it a try:

• Advanced Fluid Simulation Effect[docs.wallpaperengine.io]

On top of the other changes we have already showcased, we have added a bunch of additional effects to the editor that you can utilize in your wallpapers.


The new cursor ripple effect allows you to make certain parts of your wallpaper react to the mouse cursor by giving off water ripples in its movement path.

Make sure to check out the effect documentation to learn more on how to implement it into your wallpapers:

• Cursor Ripple Effect[docs.wallpaperengine.io]

This effect was mainly added because previously, users often used the VHS effect for its Chromatic Aberration. We wanted to add a simpler and more performant alternative to it. If you just want to add chromatic aberration to your wallpaper, you can use this effect from now on instead of using the VHS effect instead. You can learn more about it in our designer documentation:

• Chromatic Aberration Effect[docs.wallpaperengine.io]

The Gradient Blend effect allows you to create more complex transitions between two images. To learn more about it, check out its documentation page:

• Blend Gradient Effect[docs.wallpaperengine.io]

The Radial Blur effect creates a rotational blur on an image layer. We have used it in the vinyl example in the album cover section above to create a slight blur effect on the rotating vinyl record.


For the more advanced puppet warping system, we have added a new texture channel option. This allows you to add multiple textures into one puppet warp model and to transition between them as part of your animation. In its simplest form, it can be used for simple animations like eye blinking, but you can also change the look of entire characters or objects this way.

To learn more about this feature, check out the documentation page:

• Puppet Warp: Texture Channel Animations[docs.wallpaperengine.io]

We have made a ton of additional small improvements throughout the app, here are some more noteworthy features that you might want to check out:


Want to quickly get an idea of what a wallpaper might look like on your Android smartphone? Right-click on an installed wallpaper, then navigate over "Play in Window" and then select "Phone Preview" to get a vertical preview of the wallpaper.


Many wallpapers already make use of animated GIFs for preview images. However, these preview images have to be created with third-party tools which can be a little bit complex for some users. For this reason, we have added a simple GIF recording functionality into the "Capture Preview" option at the end of the publishing process. Press the "G" key during the preview creation to switch to GIF recording mode, then follow the instructions in the upper left corner. We hope this will make animated preview GIFs more accessible to more users.


The Android app update will start to roll out across all app stores now. Please note that mobile app stores tend to release updates with a delay, so it might take a few days for the update to reach you.

Hello everyone,

today we're introducing Wallpaper Engine 2.1 for Windows and Android with a wide range of new features, overall improvements and bug fixes. We will walk you through some of the most impactful new features in this update.

Another highly requested feature was the ability to allow for users to import their own images and even videos into existing wallpapers created with the Wallpaper Engine editor. These altered versions of a wallpaper can then also be shared on the Steam Workshop as so-called wallpaper presets. We are sure this will lead to a whole new series of popular and highly customizable wallpapers, so be on the look out for new and updated wallpapers with this feature!

Credits for the sample video files go to Aduare and illuskate.

To learn more about how to add customizable textures to your own wallpapers, be sure to check out our designer documentation:
Previously, when you wanted to utilize certain perspective effects in the editor, the process was rather tedious and required manual number input. We have now released a new set of editor "gizmos" that you can use to change the perspective of certain effects more intuitively.

Resizing the Perspective effect using the new perspective editor gizmo. Shout-out to VISUALDON.

You will find the new gizmo when using the following effects with the Perspective option enabled (if applicable):

• Perspective Effect
  
• Cloud Effect
  
• Water Ripple Effect
  
• Water Waves Effect
  
• Reflection Effect

In addition to the improvements to the perspective effects, we have also added two new effects to the editor with their own highly-customizable gizmo. These two effects can be utilized in a wide area of use-cases and make certain animations much easier to implement:

With Wallpaper Engine 2.1, we are further improving on the puppet warp animation system in the wallpaper editor. One of the main new features are inverse kinematics animations. Inverse kinematics are an advanced functionality which allow you to create complex animations for limbs and joints of a character.

Inverse kinematics animation in the Wallpaper Engine editor

Alongside inverse kinematics, we have also added blend rules for bones. This allows you to attach a bone from one limb to another for example. Take the knight animation above, where the sword becomes attached to the hand once the knight pulls it out of the stone - this is one possible application of blend rules.

You can learn more about inverse kinematics and blend rules in the following two tutorials:
To make it even easier to find new wallpapers and content creators, we have overhauled some aspects of the Discover tab in the app. You will can now find new collection elements in the discover tab that allow you to find popular authors and wallpaper collections more easily.

We also added new "Best of 20XX" collections which allow you to easily find the most popular wallpapers of a given year - all the way back to 2016 when Wallpaper Engine first launched.

Please see the Wallpaper Engine 2.1 changelog below for a full list of improvements and bug fixes.

Hey everyone, today we are releasing a new update for the Windows & Android version of Wallpaper Engine. The updates mainly add some new features that we did not finish for the initial release of the Android app, and fixes issues that were reported to us over the last few weeks.

Allowing for the free alignment of wallpapers was one of the most common requests we received. We have now added the ability to do this. To free align your wallpaper, change the alignment option from "Cover" to "Free", you can then rotate and zoom the wallpaper with your fingers to freely position it on your mobile device just the way you want it.

This feature is mainly useful for wallpapers that have a widescreen resolution for computer screens. Make sure to use the "High Quality" or "Balanced" quality export option if you want to make proper use of this feature.

In the Windows app, we have improved the high-performance export for Android. It will now take your wallpaper settings into account so that you can first adjust the wallpaper to your liking and then export it with these settings.

The high-performance export allows you to cut the wallpaper size to exactly fit the screen of your device. We have added a new "automatic" option for the export resolution which will use your actual device resolution to fit your display exactly.

The high-performance export will now also show a preview image where you can align the part of the wallpaper that you want to transfer to your Android device more easily:

Keep in mind that for the "High-Quality" and "Balanced" export options, the wallpaper is always transferred in its full resolution.


The Android app update will start to roll out across all app stores now. Please note that mobile app stores tend to release updates with a delay, so it might take a few days for the update to reach you.

If you have installed the APK file directly, you can grab the latest APK on our website now:



This update also introduces new support for true display HDR support. For now this option will stay disabled by default but you can manually enable it by changing the post-processing quality option to "Ultra (Display HDR)". Please note this option will only appear when a screen with HDR enabled is connected to your system.

HDR support can significantly improve image quality in in certain lighting conditions on wallpapers. If you have a screen with HDR support, feel free to enable the option and share your feedback with us.


Read the full changelog below to get a complete overview on all additions, changes and fixes this update brings to both the Windows and Android version.

• Added Display HDR support.
  
• New puppet warp limb sorting controls.
  
• Added new block user dialog where all blocks can be checked.
  
• Improved wallpaper blocking by grouping blocked wallpapers into a single tile.

今天的更新可解决与 Android 发布版本有关的最常见问题，我们将更新应用程序的 Windows 和 Android 版本。

我们收到的最常见问题涉及到连接 Android 应用程序与 Windows 应用程序以下载更多壁纸。 我们已经调查过该问题，在许多情况下，该问题由 Windows 防火墙导致。 如果 Windows 之前曾经要求您授予 Wallpaper Engine ("ui32.exe") 访问您网络的权限，而您只是关闭了窗口或没有授予 Wallpaper Engine 该权限，则 Windows 将自动阻止 Wallpaper Engine 的进程与您的本地网络正常通信：

如果您在此处单击了“取消”或只是关闭了窗口，则 Wallpaper Engine 将被阻止在您的 Windows 防火墙中。

我们现在添加了一项新检查，该检查将尝试检测此类问题，并为您提供自动修复 Windows 防火墙的方法。 但如果您没有收到有关 Windows 防火墙的任何通知，或者如果您使用任何其他防火墙应用程序，则 Wallpaper Engine 无法自动修复您的本地网络。

如果您安装了任何其他防火墙或防病毒应用程序，则您需要确保 ui32.exe 未被阻止。

Windows 设备上的 Wallpaper Engine 现在还将使用其他方法在您的网络上广播自身，这也将使某些网络配置下的 Android 设备更容易访问 Wallpaper Engine。

如果连接问题仍然存在，请阅读以下帮助页面：

• Android 应用程序连接故障排除[help.wallpaperengine.io]

请记住，您随时可将导出功能用作备份，通过 USB 或其他方法将您的壁纸传输到移动设备。 将壁纸文件放置在移动设备上时，请务必使用手机或平板电脑上的 Downloads 目录。 出于安全原因，Android 具有非常严格的限制，Wallpaper Engine 无法访问每个 Android 文件夹，但 Downloads 目录通常是最可靠的。

由于这是我们通过电子邮件和在论坛上收到的一个非常常见的请求，我们希望在此重申：Wallpaper Engine 完全支持在 Android 设备的锁屏上使用动态壁纸。但许多手机和平板电脑并不支持在锁屏上使用动态壁纸。

如果您没有获得在锁屏上设置动态壁纸的选项，则这是手机制造商设置的限制。 Wallpaper Engine 对此无法控制，我们或任何其他动态壁纸应用程序都无法解决此问题。在这种情况下，最好的办法就是向手机制造商发送反馈，告诉他们您很在意这项功能，他们可以将该功能添加到 Android 更新中。

最新的 Android 应用程序可能需要几天才能供所有人使用，因为移动设备商店推出更新的速度往往更慢。 如果您直接安装了 Android APK，请务必从我们的网站下载最新版本：

• 适用于 Android 的 Wallpaper Engine [www.wallpaperengine.io]

如果您已通过官方应用程序商店安装了该应用程序，则您无需执行任何操作，更新将在接下来的几天内自动安装到您的设备上。

[h4]Windows 应用程序[/h4]

• 将防火墙规则检查添加到了配对屏幕，还添加了一个按钮，以自动删除阻止 Wallpaper Engine 的任何规则。
  
• 新功能：现在还可以按原始宽高比上传高性能壁纸导出，这对于在平板电脑上使用非常有用。
  
• 修复了高性能移动设备转换卡住的问题。
  
• 修复了在 Windows 资源管理器缩略图不可用的情况下无法上传视频壁纸的问题。
  
• 修复了预览模式处于活动状态时单击壁纸无法重置编辑器宽高比的问题。

• 添加了明确的信息，以说明将动态壁纸设置为锁屏壁纸的可能性如何完全由移动设备决定。
  
• 修复了由三星 Android 12 更新损坏导致的三星 S21 设备崩溃的问题。
  
• 修复了非常大的壁纸，应用程序现在支持最大 4GB 尺寸的壁纸。
  
• 现在，当屏幕在传输过程中被锁定时，壁纸传输更加可靠。
  
• 修复了“添加到播放列表”按钮在超过 7 张壁纸的预览屏幕上无法正常工作的问题。
  
• 为 Android 9 及更低版本添加了更多文件导入规则，以减少导入过程中特定于供应商的问题。
  
• 修复了某些当日时间壁纸在 Android 上无法正常工作的问题。
  
• 您再也不会错过“省电模式导致壁纸暂停”的警告了。
  
• 使损坏的壁纸文件显示在浏览器中，以便您可以轻松删除它们，不浪费任何存储空间。
  
• 本地化修复，特别是“是”和“否”在德语版本中不再切换导致了很多混乱 🤡🇩🇪。

大家好，今天我们发布了 Wallpaper Engine 2.0！ 本次更新引入了对 Android 的支持、新徽标、全新 3D 深度效果以及一些对 Wallpaper Engine 的其他补充和改进。


我们很高兴终于发布了免费 Wallpaper Engine Android 伴侣应用程序。 该应用程序的一些主要功能如下：

• 无隐藏成本、无广告、无用户跟踪或数据收集。
  
• 将场景和视频类型的壁纸从您计算机上的 Wallpaper Engine 无线传输到 Android。
  
• 从您的设备导入任何兼容文件作为壁纸：视频、GIF、图像和 Wallpaper Engine 壁纸
  
• 创建壁纸播放列表并使用不同的播放列表模式
  
• 在省电模式启用时自动暂停，提供 FPS 和质量设置。
  
• 完全支持动态音频可视化、时钟和其他动态壁纸元素
  
• 让壁纸随着设备的运动而移动（带陀螺仪的设备）
  
• 支持基于当前壁纸的自动主题颜色，包括 Android 12 的 Material You

我们建议通过官方应用商店安装该应用程序，但是，我们也为更高级的用户提供直接 APK 下载。 在此查看我们的网站以了解所有安装选项：

• 下载 Wallpaper Engine Android 伴侣应用程序[wallpaperengine.io]

从技术和法律的角度来看，从移动设备直接连接到创意工坊是不可能的。 但是，我们构建了一个便利的系统，可让 Wallpaper Engine 的所有者从 Windows 上轻松地将壁纸传输到 Android 设备：

第 1 步：在 Windows 上的 Wallpaper Engine 中单击新的移动设备按钮，然后选择连接新设备。 Wallpaper Engine 将显示 4 位数 PIN，您可以立即使用该 PIN 连接到您的移动设备。

第 2 步：在您的 Android 设备上打开 Wallpaper Engine，然后单击右下角的添加按钮。 选择与计算机配对，此时您的计算机应该会出现在设备列表中。 选择您的计算机，然后输入第 1 步中的 4 位数 PIN。

第 3 步：您的设备现在应该已连接。 右键单击任何兼容的壁纸，并单击发送到移动设备，然后从列表中选择您的移动设备。 您的壁纸现在将会传输。

如果您无法连接到 Android：右键单击任何壁纸并选择发送到移动设备，然后选择导出 .mpkg。 然后，您可以通过数据线或其他方式将导出的移动包文件传输到您的移动设备。

• 单击此处阅读我们的 Android 连接指南。[help.wallpaperengine.io]

提示：您也可以通过按住 CTRL 键多选文件夹或多个壁纸来同时传输它们。 在已安装选项卡中按CTRL + A选择所有已安装的壁纸，以便同时传输这些壁纸。

随着 Android 版 Wallpaper Engine 的发布，我们觉得是时候更新我们的徽标了。 旧徽标主要由计算机屏幕组成，这对移动设备意义不大。 重要版本 2.0 的发布似乎是尝试新事物的最佳时机，我们对结果也很满意。

我们尝试了许多不同的设计，并最终确定了一个新徽标，该徽标保留了旧设计的精髓，但风格更加现代。 使用 Wallpaper Engine 2.0，您会在整个应用程序中、Windows 中和我们的网站上找到新徽标：

Wallpaper Engine 的一个主要新增功能是全新的深度视差效果。 此效果可让您为图像创建可感知到的 3D 深度。 在计算机上，该效果受鼠标影响，而在 Android 上，手机的移动会模拟鼠标的移动。

为了充分利用壁纸编辑器中的效果，我们建议安装我们全新的免费编辑器扩展 DLC。 我们决定将这个特殊的编辑器功能分离到可选的 DLC 中，因为这些功能需要下载几 GB 大小的文件。 首次在编辑器中使用该效果时，Wallpaper Engine 会要求您安装此 DLC。 有关更多信息，请参阅有关如何在编辑器中安装和使用深度视差效果的完整指南：

• 深度视差[docs.wallpaperengine.io]（目前仅提供英语版——机器翻译效果很好）

需要注意的是：除非您想自己在编辑器中使用该效果，否则无需安装免费 DLC，因为即使没有安装免费 DLC，该效果在计算机和移动设备上仍然有效。

随着时间的推移，我们收到的一个普遍请求是每个工作日配置一张壁纸的方法。 在本次更新中，我们引入了新的工作日播放列表。 只需在 Wallpaper Engine 的已安装选项卡中将最多七张壁纸添加到播放列表，然后在播放列表部分单击配置并从中选择星期几选项。 您还可以在其中找到现有的播放列表选项，例如当日时间播放列表类型。

Wallpaper Engine 完全支持 Windows 11，在本次更新中，我们还增加了对新的圆角用户界面设计的支持。 如果您正在升级到 Windows 11 并在使用 Wallpaper Engine 时遇到任何问题，请确保完全重新安装最新的显卡驱动程序。 大部分向我们提出问题的 Windows 11 用户都使用了过时的显卡驱动程序。

如果您使用的是具有透明度的 Windows 11 主题，您会注意到 Windows 11 会忽略 Wallpaper Engine。 要解决此问题，只需在 Wallpaper Engine 设置中启用新的覆盖壁纸选项。 这将使您的 Windows 壁纸与 Wallpaper Engine 壁纸保持同步，并修复 Windows 11 上的任何透明度问题。

• 添加了用于深度视差效果的免费编辑器扩展 DLC。 如果您想在编辑器中使用该效果，您只需要此 DLC，但您壁纸的用户不需要此 DLC。
  
• 为编辑器绘制工具添加了拾色器工具。
  
• 改进了对使用新字体在场景壁纸文本层中渲染中文、日语、韩语和更多字符的支持。
  
• 改进了粒子系统的“绳索渲染器”。
  
• SceneScript：init() 和 update() 函数现在会在返回数字时自动将数字转换为向量（Vec2、Vec3、Vec4）。 这有助于简化一些脚本。
  
• SceneScript：稍微审查和改进了所有示例代码片段。
  
• SceneScript：将参考 URL 更新为新的 SceneScript 文档[docs.wallpaperengine.io]。
  
• 在编辑器中使用 DXT 压缩进行透明度裁剪。

• 修复了纹理分辨率设置中破坏少量壁纸的“高性能”选项。

• 修复了某些筛选器设置导致壁纸在“已安装”选项卡中显示两次的问题。
  
• 修复了与视频纹理相关的崩溃问题。
  
• 修复了 JPEG EXIF 元数据有时无法应用于图像层的问题。 如果您在 Windows 中旋转图像，它们现在应该也会在应用程序中相应地旋转。
  
• 修复了粒子系统颜色无法正常工作的问题。

Android 应用程序完全免费，没有隐藏费用，没有应用程序内购买，也没有广告。 它也可以作为独立的应用程序使用，而无需在计算机上安装 Wallpaper Engine，并从您的移动设备导入兼容的壁纸文件。

不可以，由于技术和法律限制，无法从移动设备访问创意工坊。 我们构建了一种便利的方式来将您现有的壁纸合集从计算机传输到 Android。 我们竭尽全力让这个过程尽可能简便，在大多数情况下，您只需要确保移动设备和计算机连接到同一网络。 单击此处了解更多。[help.wallpaperengine.io]

此外，您还可以直接从移动设备上存储的文件中导入任何兼容的壁纸文件。 如果您只是想寻找一种方法将 Android 手机或平板电脑上的任何视频文件转换为手机壁纸，或者您想在播放列表中使用多个静态壁纸，那么 Android 版 Wallpaper Engine 也能有效发挥作用。

不会，我们已经广泛优化了应用程序，大多数现代设备在日常使用中不会注意到对电池寿命的负面影响。

我们已经在我们的私人设备上使用该应用程序达数月之久，并且平均每天都在使用，我们还没有通过 Wallpaper Engine 看到任何有意义的电池使用情况。 当另一个应用程序在您的设备上全屏显示以及您的设备关闭时，该应用程序会自动暂停。 省电模式会自动暂停您的动态壁纸，以进一步减少其对电池寿命的影响。 除此之外，您还可以通过在应用程序设置中调整 FPS 限制来调整性能影响。

不会，所有壁纸在 Android 上都是静音的。 但是，只要您授予应用程序录制设备音频的权限，音频可视化工具就可以工作。

这取决于您的设备。 一些 Android 制造商不允许在锁屏上使用动态壁纸，而另一些制造商则允许。 如果没有为您提供设置锁屏壁纸的选项，则您的设备制造商不允许这样做。

不幸的是，Apple 的 iOS 不像 Android 一样支持真正的动态壁纸。 因此无法在 iOS 上创建任何类似于 Wallpaper Engine 的内容。 如果 Apple 改变了主意，我们可能还会跟进 iOS 版本。 单击此处了解我们对 Linux、Mac OS 和 iOS 的详尽说明。[help.wallpaperengine.io]


如果您对新的 Android 应用程序有任何问题、建议或一般反馈，或者遇到任何技术问题，请务必在我们 Steam 版块的 Android 部分发布消息：

• Wallpaper Engine - Android 应用程序讨论区

大家好，今天我们非常高兴地宣布壁纸引擎将很快拥有自己的一款免费安卓版本。此外，今天，我们还会推出壁纸引擎1.7版本，该版本将更新一系列新功能，包括支持视频素材，直播网页壁纸。


在过去的几个月里，我们专注于开发壁纸引擎的安卓版本，该版本可支持动态画面和视频壁纸。壁纸引擎的安卓应用将对所有人免费，Windows版本的壁纸引擎用户可以将收集到的壁纸通过无线方式共享到自己的安卓手机和平板电脑上。为此，我们开发了一套安全便捷的方式，能够将创意工坊的壁纸传送到移动设备上。由于目前安卓系统并不支持创意工坊，所以壁纸引擎的Windows版本将作为资源库，让您随时可以Get您的壁纸！
安卓版本将与Windows版本一样，不含任何隐藏消费或广告推广，也不会收集任何个人数据——我们将该应用定位为面向所有壁纸引擎玩家的一款免费附加产品。
开发新的安卓应用是一个非常艰巨的挑战。然而，在考虑将壁纸引擎首先移植到哪个平台的时候，我们考虑到安卓系统在全球拥有庞大的用户基数，那么理所当然，安卓系统成为了一个最佳的选择方向。尽管由于系统自身的流线型设计，相对于其他操作系统结构来说较为简单，但是，我们相信，我们在安卓平台上所做的努力，未来也将有助于壁纸引擎向其他平台的移植。如果您希望未来在其他平台也看到壁纸引擎，那么请稍安勿躁，耐心等待，凡事不可一蹴而就，向任何其他平台做移植开发也是如此，所有的这些想法需要投入大量的工作和努力来实现。


我们为大家准备了一些有关安卓版本的最新资讯。如Windows版本一样，它涵盖的功能非常广泛，同时又高度支持动态资源和用户自定义设置。您还可以配置壁纸播放列表，设置刷新率限制，调节节能功能，直接导入本地视频和动态图画。
在壁纸引擎编辑器中创建的壁纸将先转换为兼容移动设备的格式，然后再发送到手机。对于终端用户来说，整个过程非常简单，不过，在应用发布之时，我们会进行更加细致的介绍。

先来看下安卓应用的样式：


蒸汽平台不支持移动设备访问创意工坊，于是，我们开发了一套便捷的方式，只要在相同的本地网络环境中，兼容的壁纸可以轻松地从台式机传输到移动设备上。
由于这在蒸汽平台上前无古人，我们需要所有内容创作者在向移动设备传输内容之前，必须同意《蒸汽平台创意工坊协议》的《专有补充协议》，否则壁纸引擎将不允许用户传输壁纸。
如果您已在壁纸引擎上传过壁纸，请在此浏览并同意壁纸引擎《蒸汽平台创意工坊协议》的《专有补充协议》，以便确保届时您的壁纸能够在安卓应用上正常使用：

• 在浏览器中查看：《蒸汽平台创意工坊协议》
  
• [url]在蒸汽平台上查看：《蒸汽平台创意工坊协议》

[/url]
[/list]

壁纸引擎的安卓版可能会在11月下旬在各个应用商店上市，尽管很难做出准确的估计--今后请务必关注我们的Steam更新新闻，以了解更多信息。目前安卓应用的开发版本已经稳定，但我们还需要进行最终测试，并开始着手准备各大应用商店的发布工作。安卓8.1或更高版本设备均支持该应用程序。
对于我们来说，在应用发布以前，让更多的内容创作者查阅和同意《蒸汽平台创意工坊协议》的《专用补充协议》是非常有必要的事情，因为这样用户便可以访问更多的兼容安卓的壁纸资源。如果您是内容创作者，请务必查看《蒸汽平台创意工坊协议》。如果您是壁纸用户，且希望通知您喜爱的内容创作者即将发布的安卓版本，请分享此新闻中的链接，或直接将我们帮助页面链接发给对方，里面会有详细的内容介绍：

• https://help.wallpaperengine.io/mobile/workshop

除了安卓版本之外，我们也为Windows版本的壁纸引擎准备了内容更新。在新版本1.7中，我们为场景壁纸添加了视频素材支持功能和全新的直播视频模式，以及其他的一些新功能，当然还有漏洞修复。

到目前为止，壁纸引擎编辑器仅支持静态图像，即所有导入的资源必须为静态的资源。我们现在开发出一套新的方法，用户可以在编辑器中导入.mp4格式的视频文件作为图像层，这些视频素材可以像其他图像素材一样使用，可以堆叠各种特效或其他素材，从而使得视频壁纸像以前的静态壁纸一样具有交互性和动态性。我们推荐使用H.264压缩来处理视频以保证跨系统的最佳兼容性。
您也可以使用视频文件来作为壁纸的基本素材。请在编辑器的欢迎窗口中点击“使用模板”，选择“2D场景”并设置视频文件的分辨率，然后，将视频文件拖放到新建的项目中，这样就顺利地将该文件添加为项目的新图像层。


一直以来，大家的一个相对特别的需求是希望能够将直播网页设置为壁纸，但因为许可权问题，这个需求比较难实现，我们需要植入一整套全新的网页框架，才能兼容网站的直播视频格式。想要访问最新的直播模式，可点击壁纸引擎左下角的“打开壁纸”按钮，然后选择“用URL打开”。
“使用直播模式”选项中包含直播的URL地址，您可以通过选择该选项来打开此模式。首次使用该功能时，壁纸引擎会自动触发安装最新的Microsoft Edge WebView浏览器，该浏览器由Microsoft自动维护，并支持所需的视频格式。但是它在壁纸引擎的某些功能中也有一定的局限性，因此，我们建议您，仅在特别希望使用直播页面作为壁纸素材之时才使用它。具体来说，该功能不支持键盘输入，若要输入，请关闭带内置热键功能的图标，然后再使用鼠标输入。
