Feature request: Including Spriter2D editor/animations into MMF 2.5 (3?)

[DavidC]

Hi,

Has any one else tried using Spriter2D (http://www.brashmonkey.com/) for bones-based / inverse kinematics 2D animations with reskinnable characters?

Right now the only way to get these animations into Fusion is to export from Spriter as a .png or then reimport into the editor. Quite a few other game engines are building plugins to directly support the native spriter format (or something a lot like it). The advantage there is that you can save enormous amounts of memory and have super-smooth animations.

Having access to the Spriter format (or better yet, an inbuilt editor for the format) in some future version of MMF2.5+ would be superb.

Hi DaveC,

I think I may make a specific thread for this. I have said in several threads that I am working on this extension. I agree completely with you for memory and animation that is why I want to make this animation and share it with
the community. If this extension is successful, I may use this experience and knowledge to support also Spine 2D.

Great! PM me if you ever need a tester. PS * Although I somehow missed your past threads, I did find this note from Brash Monkey the creator of Spriter [sic],

"We're already in discussion with Clickeam themselves and are all keen to make it happen. Hopefully we'll work it out and find a capible plug-in developer interrested in the task soon. Side-note: I''ve been using Clickteam products for well over a decade and am personally interrested in making this happen as well as professionally. cheers, Mike at BrashMonkey "

I've only recently bought Spriter, but I would also be interested in being a tester if you get around to making an extension like that. Same goes for Spine.
