Thanks, I appreciate it.

[@FedirGordiienko]

This tutorial is gold! Appreciate it! It would be great to learn how to animate a mesh for flexible joints and create a more "gummy" overall feel. You definitely deserve more subscribers!

[@strudelstudio]

thank you! This tutorial is mostly about showing the basic tools for making animations in godot, I am definetly planning to make another one about actually making the animation look good lol.

[@DingDong-bw7mq]

Everything cool, but what about collision? Any way to match it to the shapes influenced by bones? It just showed in part 2 without any errors.

Super beginner in Godot, but experienced animator here. I can animate fine, but it doesn't play when I run the scene. How do I make the animation play when I run the scene?

[@restlessrap]

You have to add a script something like animationplayer.play("walk.right") into your player script

[@Рафаэль-е8е]

can I get a link to the github with the animation?

[@artcrtc5028]

yeah, this is simply not worth the time, just animate separate sprites, 5x times faster and animation process is the same in the end

[@nejcpetric7590]

You’re right, this would definitely be the faster way to do it. However, the animation process is not totally the same because of the way the bones affect child nodes. When I rotate the torso all of its nodes will rotate too, for example. This is especially useful for making something like the jump animation where you want everything to squish. Besides, I’m just trying to show how the skeleton2d node can be used in its most basic form.

[@ThePro821]

So you really prefer drawing or changing the animation 100+ times for something like this?

[@bananacrabman6646]

It's not just time that you need to worry about, file size is also something to consider, it takes far more storage to have an image for every frame of animation rather than have a few images that you can manipulate to animate how you like, additionally you could be going for a style where this kind of animation suites better, games like rain world and the new Rayman games use this kind of animation and they are very visually distinct games who would probably lose some of their visual style if they went with sprite based animation.
