As the title suggests, since I’m brand new to Defold I was kinda curious which one would be better for animating my sprites? Synfig or Defold?
And would it be a lot of hassle to import them from Synfig into defold if I went with that?
Cheers in advance for the help!
Hi!
There are a few ways to have animations in Defold.
Spine (or Dragonbones that can export into a spine format). Creating images and hooking them up to a bone traditionally seen in 3D. Synfig looks similar to that.
Sprite Sheet Animations, drawing your animation frame by frame.
3D model animation. Just remember that even though 3D in Defold is supported it isn’t the easiest to work with.
Defold doesn’t have a native animation editor built in, so you should need to do your Spine animations in Spine (or Dragonbones) and your Sprite sheet animations in Photoshop or similar image editing software.
