Spriter Pro

Spriter Pro is a 2D character animation software that uses a bone-based approach for Mac. Artists create individual body parts, attach them to bones, and manipulate the skeleton for fluid motion. It supports advanced features like IK (inverse kinematics) and pivot points. Spriter also exports to game engines like Unity or Construct. While focusing on character animation, it can handle small cutscenes. By leveraging bone-based reusability, Spriter suits indie game developers wanting efficient 2D character animation on macOS without manually redrawing every frame.
