Creature: New 2D Skeletal + Mesh Animation Tool with HaxeFlixel Support

[Kestrel Moon]

Hello devs,

I am pleased to announce Haxe and HaxeFlixel support for the Creature 2D Skeletal + Mesh Animation Tool!



The runtimes are here:
https://github.com/kestrelm/Creature_Haxe

An example of an animation authored in Creature and running live in HaxeFlixel is here:

Looks great.

How would this differ from using Animate with Flump, advantages / disadvantages ? 

Are you looking to support other Haxe approaches disconnected from Fixel -   Luxe, Kha, NME, Flambe.

I noticed that licences for PC and Mac are separate, it's nice to be able to buy a licence that can be used on mac and pc at no extra cost. I am not planning on buying right now but certainly something that I always consider with software and something that make it more attractive.

Do you have plans for 3D addtional aspects/tools?  Thanks for supporting Haxe community with your work.

Wow, that's a REALLY amazing animation tool. Just sent it to one of my old Flash animation buddies and he was blown away and putting his money down right now. Great work on making such a useful tool (and now it seems supporting it on so many platforms).

Hello,

Thanks for your very useful suggestions and comments!

I have recently added more Haxe support, including a new Haxe Starling framework based off OpenFL Starling.

The runtimes are here:
https://github.com/kestrelm/Creature_Haxe

Creature is a completely mesh based animation solution, but it also supports built in sprite swapping ( if that is what you are referring to) that can be warped with bone weight skinning.
Thus it offers the advantages of both traditional and mesh-bone skinning animation solutions.

Great stuff.

I am looking forward to further developments.

Kind regards

Can't remember do you have a webgl or canvas haxe demo online?
