Description
Spine 2D Pro Overview
Spine is a dedicated tool for creating 2D animations in the game. Spine aims to have an efficient, streamlined workflow for both creating animations with the editor and using that animation in the Spine Runtime. Animation in Spine is done by attaching an image to a bone and then creating an animation for the bones. This is called bone frame animation or cutout animation and has many advantages over traditional animation.
Spine is integrated with features to help you work efficiently. In addition to the many editor features described below, live performances for Spine Runtimes show how animations can be layered and combined to achieve all sorts of effects.
Spine 2D Pro Features
- Smaller size: Traditional animation requires an image for each frame of animation. Spine animation only stores bone data, which is very small, allowing you to fill your game with unique animations.
- Artwork Requirements: Spine animation requires much less art assets, saving time and money that could be better spent on the game.
- Smoothness: Spine animation uses interpolation, so the animation is always as smooth as the frame rate. The animation can be played in slow motion without losing quality.
- Attachments: Images attached to bones can be swapped to give your character different items and effects. Animations can be reused for characters that look different, saving countless hours.
- Blending: Animations can be blended. For example, a character can play a gunshot animation while simultaneously playing a walking, running, or swimming animation. The transition from one animation to another can be smoothly transitioned into a blend mode.
- Procedural animation: Bones can be manipulated using code, allowing for effects such as shooting in the direction of the mouse position, looking at nearby enemies, or leaning forward when running uphill.
