Physics constraint

Dynamic and automatic bone movement using physics simulation.

Meshes

Convert rectangular images to polygonal meshes to reduce fillrate by not drawing transparent pixels.

Deformation

Animate individual mesh vertices to deform images, allowing far more flexibility with the same set of images.

Weights

Bind mesh vertices to multiple bones to deform the mesh automatically when bones are transformed.

Clipping

Restrict drawing using a clipping polygon.

IK constraint

Inverse kinematics adjusts a chain of bones to point at a target, allowing for easier, more powerful and dynamic animation.

Transform constraint

Copy all or part of another bone's transform for more powerful rigging.

Path constraint

Make bones follow a path for a variety of effects.

Audio

Synchronize MP3, OGG, or WAV audio files with your animations

Open Project

Open existing projects.

Save Project

Save the current project.

Export Data

Export your skeleton and animations in the Spine JSON or binary format.

Polygons attached to bones that are useful for hit detection, physics systems UIs, etc.

Skins

Allows characters that look completely different to use the same skeleton and animations.

Graph

Interpolate between keys using linear, stepped, or bezier curves for more lifelike animation.

Dopesheet

Provides a multiple timeline view of animation keys and allows them to be edited and retimed precisely.
