    Spriter - Tool for making 2d animations easier

    hey guys,

    i found this project at kickstarter and it comes kinda handy when you animate 2d sprites
    it work well with Inkscape but should work with any other graphic program so you should try it out

    normally i would post it under tools but due to the challenge it fits better here

    MS only (and they don't even say it). That limits the fun IMHO.

    Spriter is very promising, but still is a bit far of being totally usable!

    There is something similar already available for ZenGL : CoolSprite Editor, and it is already very usable. With some small improvements it would be the definitive tool for doing these kind of animations! The original post is in Russian, but Google Translator can help! =)

    Here is something I'm doing using it (for my next super secret project) .



    Here a small video showing how to use the editor!

    Well... Unfortunately Spriter seems to be delayed and Cool Sprite editor is not updated anymore.

    But... Spine were funded on Kickstarter, and it is already very superior to Spriter and Cool Sprite. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...software/spine


    There is already some runtimes for it ready for use (https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes), and there is a lot more of runtimes coming (unfortunately no Pascal runtimes planned for it).

    Anyone interested in start porting the libgdx runtime of Spine to Pascal? I will try to start it soon and some help would be very appreciated! My idea is keep the source free to be easily usable on popular Pascal Engines (ZenGL, Phoenix, Asphyre...).
