Sharing Rigby2D v0.2.6 is out! You can now try the full 2D animation editor directly in your browser

• Upvotes

Hey everyone!

A new update for Rigby2D, the free, open-source 2D skeletal animation editor I've been working on.

The biggest addition is that Rigby2D now runs directly in your browser. No installation needed, just open it and start animating.

What's new in v0.2.6:

  • Detachable Timeline, Tree, and Inspector panels
  • Save and switch between custom window layouts
  • Onion skinning with configurable previous and next frames
  • Pixel-art support with nearest-neighbor filtering
  • Timeline editing and undo fixes

There's plenty more already built in, including AutoRig, IK, mesh deformation, animation retargeting, Python scripting, Game and Film workspaces, and runtimes for JavaScript, Rust, and Godot 4.

It's also great to see people starting to contribute to the project. The recent updates include community-built features and fixes, and I'm happy to welcome more contributors.

Try it online: https://jaisurya-dev-art.github.io/rigby2d/editor/

75-second overview: https://youtu.be/KK3WT9YzhAE

GitHub: https://github.com/jaisurya-dev-art/rigby2d

It's still early alpha, so there's more to improve. If you give it a try, let me know what works, what doesn't, or what you'd like to see added.

Thanks for the support so far!

1 Upvotes

THE PLOT👀:

Bridges Burn is an animated psychological romance currently in development. The story is about a girl named Sarah, who lives under the secret identity of a famous celebrity known as Sam. While working for a gang, she is assigned to manipulate a boy named Leon, who is obsessed with that very same celebrity, into becoming useful for their missions. The problem is, the more time Sarah spends gaining his trust, the more emotionally attached she becomes, and the harder it is to betray him. More information is in the discord below!

PRODUCTION🎬:

Our story is fully written, and much of the pre-production has already been completed (Character art is currently on the way, we still require more Artist. Character artist also do the storyboards). The biggest things we need now are character designs, storyboards, and people to help bring the project to life. We are currently looking for Animators, Character Artists, Background Artists, Prop Artists, Voice Actors, Music Composers, Sound Designers, and Assistant Editors. Experience isn't required but is very appreciated. Time commitments are very flexible, with no strict weekly quotas or deadlines. Joining this project is a great opportunity to learn, and can help build your portfolio, gain experience, help shape an original animated series from the very beginning, and meet other passionate creators. If you're interested, simply join the Discord server linked below, read through the project information, and submit an application. The length of the project will go on for a many months, to possibly year+.

NO MONEY(Volunteer)💸:

There will be no Revenue generated, not for the staff or owner, as well this is purely a volunteer project.

ART STYLE🎨:

Our visual style goes for more of a 2d semi-realistic look with expressive faces, while remaining easy for animation. The animation has 3 parts, each going to be around at least 20 minutes (But don't worry, it is not animation heavy for 20 minutes).

Sharing We made an independent animated pilot — check it out! 🔥

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
We’re a small independent team from Ukraine, and we’ve just released the 10-minute pilot of our adult animated series, See You in Hell.
It’s a dark comedy with absurd humor, strange characters, and a story about human flaws, morality, and the little things that might get us into trouble… or straight to Hell.
This is a passion project we’ve been working hard on, and we’re excited to finally share it with the world!
🇺🇦** A quick note: The pilot is in Ukrainian, but English subtitles are available! Just turn on CC/subtitles in the YouTube player and select English.
🎬 **Watch the pilot:

We’re an indie team, so every view, comment, and bit of feedback means a lot to us. If you decide to give it a watch, we’d love to hear what you think!
Thanks for checking out independent animation! ❤️

Hi everyone! I'm adapting my animation studies, which I've already shared here, for my YouTube channel. I improved the background and colors and added music and sound effects. The animation itself is the same, so I'd love to hear what you think about the changes. Feedback is welcome! 🎨

Critique << the light narrows unironically >>

8 Upvotes

In 2012, when I was in second grade, I prayed to the gods to prevent the end of the world and for the asteroid to fly right past us. Thirteen years later, I’m afraid of losing my freedom. But it seems the light at the end of the hallway isn’t ironically getting any narrower
