As a matter of fact this can be used under windows, linux,mac and any other platform that compiles blender3d.

It supports sprite deformation - uses blender's excellent tools to easily turn imported sprites into plane meshes and skin them!.

In any case it is not going to be maintained by only one guy, not locked to any proprietary entity. If you want a feature, if you know some python- you can add it! Or suggest it. Dragon bones in comparison runs under adobe flash - so it's not really open source and available on all platforms. This is the only open source solution out there atm.

It's open source! Both the addon and the application it is running under.

You can use blender's powerful animation tools.

it's PRO and it does NOT cost over 200$, it is completely FREE.

Check out our Animation Foundations course for the basic principles of animation.It is an addon for blender that allows you to create cutout animations in blender and export them as a JSON file that can be loaded in a game engine. Yes, however I should mention that this course does not teach the concepts of animation, but rather shows you the tools and methods for animating with the software. We go over all the basics to make sure you are able to follow along. This course was created assuming you’ve never used the program before. You will have access to the entire course and materials immediately after purchasing. Will I get the whole course right away, or will it be available over a period of time? You will always have access to all the courses and products you purchase from Bloop. Will I always have access to the class or is it just for a limited time? If you don’t like the course, simply email us and you’ll get a full refund, no questions asked.

No worries, the course comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. Bones Full-featured bone system allows to create cutout animation using bitmap images or control your vector artwork. Choose from various layer types: geometric, gradients, filters, distortions, transformations, fractals and others. What hardware do I need? As long as you have a relatively modern computer and can run Blender and connect to the internet, you should be good to go. Synfig provides 50+ layers to create artwork and animation of any complexity. No, you will have to get Blender yourself, but it’s FREE! Is the software included with the course?
