rgipcole Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hello HTML5 Game Dev forum! Just started using Pixi.js to build some animation for a client and love it! I'm wondering how everyone is transitioning their Flash animations to Pixi with a timeline? I had to come up with my own "timeline" script to keep track of when to start animating objects which was kinda difficult. Other than GreenSock's TimelineMax, are there any other viable solutions for timeline-based animation? Thanks for your time! - Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan.popelyshev Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 There are rumors about integration of pixi.js in Adobe CC , and that was mentioned at https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js/issues/2224 . I asked @GoodBoyDigital, lets wait for an answer So far best animator for pixi is Spine: http://esotericsoftware.com , but it costs 70$. If you want to use skinned meshes you have to pay 290$. I still have no money to buy it, but I can debug pixi-spine and fix its problems just fine Yes, greensock.com is good solution. Some basic animations can be done with Tween.js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan.popelyshev Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Just discovered this thing: http://dragonbones.github.io/ You can use it to make simple spine animations and export them, then attach text and stuff to bones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgipcole Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Thanks Ivan for the responses. I will indeed look into those options you provided. Would be nice to see integration with Animate CC. Our staff seem to be very excited what Animate CC will offer as I'm sure most other "Flash" erm "Animate" developers. d13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgipcole Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Tween.js looks promising with the ability to chain animations together. The big thing we are looking for is software that will provide a timeline interface. I'm wondering if anyone has discovered any solutions that build Pixi.JS animations with a timeline gui. If Animate CC ends up implementing Pixi, that would certainly fit the bill for what we are looking for. Until then, we are left setting up our animations in code blocks.
