# SpriteLoop 0.15.0: meshes, masks and pixel art

SpriteLoop 0.15.0 is out, along with Defold extension 0.16.0-alpha.

**Highlights**

- **Meshes:** artwork can now bend, wave, stretch and squash instead of moving only as a rigid sprite. It comes with Limb, Bend, Wave, Elastic, Soft, Cloth and Pin presets.
- **Masks:** a part can be masked by another part’s artwork, and masked parts now play in Defold. They work with the built-in renderer; custom render scripts call `spriteloop.prepare_masks()`.
- **Pixel art:** sharp filtering and whole-pixel movement.
- **Defold 1.14.1:** now supported. For web projects with masks, use 1.14.1 or newer.
- **Performance:** instances of the same animation share geometry and mask results, so crowds are cheaper.

Masks need projects exported from SpriteLoop 0.15.0 or newer. iOS/Metal hasn’t been tested yet, so reports from iOS users are very welcome. Feedback and bug reports are appreciated as always!
