Today I made a basic 2D animation exercise of a hammer hitting the ground but I learned to color it...

Hey everyone, back with another Rigby2D update!

Since my last post, I've pushed Rigby2D through versions 0.3.0 to 0.3.3. A lot has changed, and the biggest step is that Rigby2D is moving beyond individual character animation into complete scene creation.

Here's what I've been working on:

• Scene composition: Bring multiple characters, animation clips, dialogue audio, layered backgrounds, parallax and camera movement together in one scene.
• Timeline editing: Trim and split clips, adjust playback speed, loop animations and crossfade between clips.
• Automatic lip-sync (viseme): Generate lip-sync from audio using local Whisper transcription, with support for nine mouth shapes.
• Rendering: Export scenes to PNG sequences, transparent WebM and MP4 with audio.
• Runtime integration: Play composed scenes through the JavaScript and Rust runtimes, with a dedicated Godot RigbyScene2D node.
• AI workflows: MCP tools for AI assistants to inspect, validate and edit rigs, animations and scenes.
• Editor improvements: Better transform guides, draw-order editing, resizable panels, searchable shortcuts, recent projects and improved documentation.

There's also AutoRig, animation retargeting, Python scripting and Spine skeleton import support, including binary .skel files.

I've moved Rigby2D into public beta and am working on the Windows release pipeline and code signing.

To show what the scene workflow looks like in practice, I've put together the NILA promo featuring NILA and Rigbytron.

Rigby2D is open source under MIT. If you're working on 2D games, animation or short films, give it a try and let me know what you think. Feedback is always welcome!

Have you guys ever wondering about this factor? I have theories whenever you have better visual memory, you will remember the pacing of the animation better, therefore your animation will become better.

I started working on an animated video about 2 days ago and have had to redo 5 times because I didn't know how to animate on 25fps. I use mooltik on my tablet if that helps.

Would love to get thoughts and feedback!

Hi they are Misket And Somun. This is my first 2d rigging for school project. Tried to make it look good as possible but i'm at very beginning for this.

I'm open for all advices you can give for making it better.

It's been sooooo long since I animated! Now I'm back on track. I still have to do background and char but I did a lot tonight.

Hi everyone!

I'm sharing my 2D rigging practice using DragonBones. I've been working on learning the rigging process and exploring how to bring 2D characters to life through movement.

I'm still learning and improving my skills, so I'd love to hear your feedback and any tips you might have. Thanks for checking out my work!

Hi everyone! I’ve rigged these characters in DragonBones with IK, and I’m planning to use them to learn 2D animation. The joint outlines still need some cleanup, but I’d love your feedback! Any tips on improving the rigs or beginner animation exercises would be really appreciated. Thanks! 🙂

Hey everyone! I just finished my first-ever rig in DragonBones. I uploaded two pics to show the character and the setup. I’ll be animating this next! Since this is my first time, any tips on the rig or animation process would be awesome.

Started learning animation 2 weeks ago these are some of the exercises I did on my phone using FlipaClip.

Hey everyone! This is my very first time rigging a character in DragonBones. I just finished setting up the armature and bone hierarchy for this witch character.

Since it's my first rig, I wanted to share it here to get some feedback or catch any mistakes with the bone placement before I move on to the next step. Once I finalize everything, I'm planning to bring her to life and turn this into a full animation!
