Spriter Pro 7.0 | 37 MB

Spriter makes it easy for anyone, regardless of experience, to create 2D game animations using a technique called Modular Animation. Individual sprite pieces can be attached to bones and then easily animated with the powerful, yet easy to use toolset. Spriter enables the "modular" method of creating silky-smooth animations where key-frames are constructed from small, re-useable images (such as body parts). This method of animating offers many benefits for several aspects of a game's development and for the finished product.
