Since many of you have asked, I've created a Udemy course on Spine Pro! 💛 ► Enroll HERE: www.udemy.com/course/spine-pro-a-complete-2d-character-animation-guide/?referralCode=84DB13BBD24AC645D6EA
I have both of your Spine courses, are you going to make anymore..?? Or perhaps one on the creative process of creating the characters in Photoshop, and another on integrating the Spine animations into Unity..?
Hi! Is your tutorial and Udemy course using Spine 2D Essential or Professional? And if you're using Professional, would we be able to achieve the same effects with Essential? Thanks!☺️
@@jasmyn1258Hi! I have separate courses on Spine Pro and Essential, each one covering the most important features of each version. If the effects you've mentioned is 2.5D, then Spine Pro is definitely better since it supports meshes. You can achieve 2.5D to a certain degree with Essential using shear and scale tools, but it will not be as smooth as with meshes.
No matter what I do I cannot get past the binding process. Nothing is working when I attempt to bind bones to an image to be able to move it. nothing online has provided any help.
Amazing teacher and Tutorial!! I've struggled with other tutorials, but you managed to make a thorough tutorial in less than 20 mins while still keeping all the valuable information in! Thank you again! If I choose to buy Spine Pro, I will definitely buy your Udemy Course!
You are a gifted teacher! I purchased your udemy course yesterday and already I understand things I couldn't get before. I'm going to take all your courses now!!
Switched from Spriter Pro to Spine and oh my gosh, loving Spine more. The skin mode in Spriter is buggy which is understandable since it’s experimental. But I can’t stand it because it doesn’t do what I wanted it to do. This tutorial is super helpful and I always refer to it. I just started using Spine too XD
Dear Master, your education is so so good, i m not good my english but you realy easy learning to us. And i want to buy your udemy packed, i waiting udemy discont, its does some times. Ty for everthing :)
i didn't understand the reason why you added the orange lines on the hair, arms and legs but not on the eye,mouth parts. What is the reason? Also thank you for the video, your explanation style is very clear :)
I am 10 years old and I want to make stuff like this... One of the games I play is called meow playground created with spine, and I wish to create a spine game someday.
Looks like it is important to make points on shape symmetrically so on left and right you have same amount of points ?? {Like on 3D mesh} Actually it is a question not a statement but just want to make sure my thinking is logical. When you made center line and you start connecting across points i noticed that somehow you have same amount of points on left and right side. So when you create all points around the shape you are already calculating how place those points and how many ? You do not go around just click click click click click click click click ??
"I know it sounds complicated now" - Me attempting to create bones for my 25th time. For the example when you bind the two bones to the arm mesh. The parent bone when I attempt to move it, the child doesn't move with it. Why is that?
5 months later I come back to this to try and make sense of it And guess what? My child bones still don't move when I move the parent bone. - Update: I had the Bone option "locked". For anyone who has the same issue as me.
I can't create or even see a mesh? Like I click the image the same way but there is no option to create a mesh? Do I need to download or am I missing something?
@@ThinkCitric Seems I only have the essential version... Does that mean I can't properly use the bone tool because every tutorial I see uses the mesh tool when rigging and I can't seem to get the bones working properly
@@CodeSly you can use the bones with the essential version too. What you need to do, however, is to use only one bone per image. Linking two or more bones to an image will not have any effect in Essential version. Slice your character images into more images, if necessary. BTW, we have a Udemy course focused on Spine Essential, it has 3 hours of video content and covers everything you need to get confident about character animation in Spine. Here it is: www.udemy.com/course/learn-2d-character-animation-for-games-in-spine-essential/?referralCode=828AEA929E30837D1F4F Hope it helps! :)
Unfortunately, no. Meshes are one of the Pro version features, and they are not available in Essential. Well, there's also a Trial version if you want to try it out, but you can't save or export your project there.
@@ThinkCitric Yes I'm really dissapointed to hear this I really thought this is important to be able to make your character look more alive I might switch back to live2D thank you for replying!
It might be that you have the bones compensation turned on, it does exactly that. To fix that, you just need to make sure the "Bones" button in the toolbar below is not blue. Here's more about it: en.esotericsoftware.com/spine-tools#Compensation
@@orkun441 use Dragonbones. It is a free program that has, more or less, the same tools as Spine. Personally i prefer Spine, but Dbones is an amazing free alternative.

I feel like Wonder Woman is teaching me Spine. Not complaining. Beautiful voice
This is more clear than the other tutorial, thank you so much for this.
I never heard of this before but the concepts are almost the exact same with 3D rigging and animating, which makes it easier to understand.
Super Educator, Its clearly and detailed explanation, We need more tutorials about spine . Thank you.🙏
No matter what I do I cannot get past the binding process. Nothing is working when I attempt to bind bones to an image to be able to move it. nothing online has provided any help.
I also had the same issue, I think it's because you are using the trial version, once I went to pro it was working

Very great tutorial. One of the best if not best. So much useful knowledge in such short time.
is there a free alternative because it's too expensive!
very helpful
Thank you - very helpful! Pls create more Spine tuts
Thank you so much! Yes, I have a few ideas for new Spine tutorials. Just hope to find some time to create them soon! :)
I like tutorial it for my games
Thank you so much! It's so understandable! The best tutorial! ❤
Thanks much! Where can I find this project PSD ?
Thanks for this nice tutorial :)
Amazing tutorial this helped so much~~~

Is this tutorial still up to date and works with new spine version?
Thank you so much!!!!
Glad it helped! :)
you are really really amazing
can you please tell me from where i can get this character for practice
i love your voice
Do you know where to get the program? I’m struggling to find it 😅
Is the character available somewhere so we can follow along?
How did you unhide those meshes? 6:33
Thank you for the tutorial :D
Glad it helps! :)
hello. I seem to having a problem when using ctrl. I can't select the image when i'm holding ctrl when doing bones
Is there better software that lets you do this faster?
Did this method works on jeson files because it is not showing mesh button to me

need more tutorial
When ever i click on the mesh its not bringing up the weights tab. can somebody help?
there is no mesh option when I click on the image file.
I need spine creak please give me link
Очень классно!!! Благодарю мадам! =))))
I can't create or even see a mesh? Like I click the image the same way but there is no option to create a mesh? Do I need to download or am I missing something?
I'm also having problems rigging bones to specific layers, what do I do?
@@CodeSly Which version of Spine are you using? Is it Essential or Pro? Please keep in mind that meshes are available in Pro and Trial versions only.

I am using Spine 4 and I do not see how you made a mesh for an image. There is no Option. This is totally holding me back. Please help.
Bones wont bind to the created mesh and alwasy flips the layer. Im losing my mind. Anyone lese got this problem?
how big should the illustration be if I'm making a mobile game? the character should cover almost the full screen. thanks!
where can we download the example file so we can follow?
Damn... You have take more time to do this animation with this app than if you make it yourself by hand !
👍👍👍
Really amazing but I was wondering if I could create a mesh without the pro version?
Unfortunately, no. Meshes are one of the Pro version features, and they are not available in Essential. Well, there's also a Trial version if you want to try it out, but you can't save or export your project there.

When you say the "left key", do you mean the left arrow key, or the mouse left key?
left mouse key :)
15:30, why i dont have pink point
Why not just not use spine and do the same exact thing in Blender for free?

it will be helpful
Thank you for your perfect tutorials , Can you please teach me how and where to put Ik in horse character? I need it immediately
Can you provide the project file?
what's a "left key"?
*left mouse key

Hi, what app do you use to draw the characters before exporting to Spine?
Hi, I personally like using Photoshop. But Spine is also compatible with After Effects, GIMP, Illustrator and Inkscape.
Just tried it and none of the child bones will rotate with the parent bones.
It might be that you have the bones compensation turned on, it does exactly that. To fix that, you just need to make sure the "Bones" button in the toolbar below is not blue. Here's more about it: en.esotericsoftware.com/spine-tools#Compensation
look like moho animation
hindi voice video you can
"holding the left key".... left key?
*left mouse key
Why is this software so unnecasirly tedious just use character animator its so much easier
plz show me a flag animation in easy way
can i use spine for free
There's a trial version that you can download for free, but you won't be able to save or export your project.
@@ThinkCitric its too expensive for a student like me
@@orkun441 use Dragonbones. It is a free program that has, more or less, the same tools as Spine. Personally i prefer Spine, but Dbones is an amazing free alternative.

What? She just jumps in idk what any of this stuff is? tutorial for beginners mean people who are beginning. Not people who already know.
Is this frr
lmao girl you skipped a giant step in the beginning... a tutorial for people who already know some of the basics not for beginners
I just want to be able to turn the image into multiple layers like you... i dont have photoshop
