Animating is an iterative process. Spine provides numerous tools to shape and refine your 2D animations. Bend and deform images with mesh skinning/weights, adjust timing with the dopesheet, visualize motion with ghosting, pose your characters with inverse kinematics, create pseudo 3D effects, and much more.

With our small team Spine was a great fit, it allowed us to create multiple fully rigged customizable game assets and actually improved our production quality. Giving us more time to focus on making fun and engaging gameplay for our Zorbit's Math Adventure series.— Chuck Murphy, Clockwork Fox Studios
