2D game animation production software (Spine)

Do you have a headache because you need a powerful flat 2D game animation production software? Using this completely free and fully Chinese Spine (2D game animation production software) can allow you to smoothly carry out production and development. Download Spine now and use it.

Basic introduction

Spine is a 2D skeletal animation editing tool for game development. Spine is designed to provide a more efficient and streamlined workflow for creating the animations required for games.

Software features

Minimal size: Traditional animation requires providing every frame of image. Spine animation only saves the animation data of bones, which takes up very little space and can provide unique animation for your game.

Art requirements: Spine animation requires fewer art resources, which can save you more manpower and material resources to better invest in game development.

Smoothness: Spine animation uses a difference algorithm to calculate intermediate frames, which allows your animation to always maintain a smooth effect.

Rig Attachment: Images are bound to bones to implement animation. If you need, you can easily change the character's equipment to meet different needs. Even change the appearance of the character to achieve the effect of animation reuse.

Blending: Animations can be blended between each other. For example, a character can shoot, walk, run, jump or swim at the same time.

Procedural animation: Skeletons can be controlled through code. For example, you can follow the mouse to shoot, look at the enemy, or lean forward when going uphill.

Function introduction

dope sheet

The dope sheet is the most central place in the animation production process. All the important details are included here to create animations and fine-tune the timeline.

grid

Allows you to customize polygons within rectangular bounds. This will improve the space usage of the final texture atlas because pixels outside the polygon will be ignored. This optimization is especially important for mobile devices. Another feature of the mesh is to support free deformation and skinning.

Curve Editor

In the curve editor, you can control the difference between two frames by adjusting the Bezier curve to achieve lifelike animation effects.

free deformation

Free deformation, also known as FFD, is the abbreviation of Free-Form Deformation, which allows you to deform pictures by moving grid points. FFD can realize the functions of the grid: stretching, extrusion, bending, rebound, and other functions that cannot be achieved by rectangular pictures.

skin

Skins can switch picture materials for finished animations. Reuse animations by changing the image attached to the skeleton.

bounding box

Bounding boxes can be attached to bones and move with them. It is mainly used for collision detection and physics integration.

Texture packing

Spine can package images into texture atlases, which can improve your rendering efficiency in games. Spine's texture map packaging tool has many functions such as stripping blank areas, rotation, automatic scaling, etc... (the main purpose is to make full use of space)

How to use

1. After downloading, do not run the software in the compressed package and use it directly. Unzip it first;

2. The software supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operating environments;

3. If the software cannot be opened normally, please right-click and run in administrator mode.
