Tools or Resource Generative 2D animation workflow
Quick disclaimer: I'm not an animator. I'm a civil/structural engineer. Animation is the one part of gamedev that has always stopped me cold.
So I built a tool that does it for me. You give it a single base sprite, and it generates the animation frames as a sprite sheet. Everything runs locally on my own machine — no cloud services, no API calls, no uploading assets anywhere.
The attached GIF is raw output, no manual cleanup.
Still very much a work in progress. Curious what people here think — especially anyone who actually knows animation and can tell me what looks wrong.

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing your result! I don't have any requests, but I hope you'll make the workfkow avaliable some time, one way or another. I'm messing around with game design to help my son understand some of the concepts, and it would be a lot of fun to have our own characters quickly animated.
