Hi guys,

I am a programmer and need to implement a virtual pet. I have no experience with character animation. I thought Spine would work great because I can control skins, animations, etc through code (Javascript?) - is that correct?

Are there sample codes or tutorials on how to do that? Something like a html page where I can click on some buttons and my character would animate, add clothes, etc.. A github project maybe?

I downloaded the trial version of Spine which comes with the SpineBoy project, but I don't know how to go from there - how to add skins, use Javascript to control it, etc.

Thanks Nate, that's what I was looking for!


Ok, following up with my post, I was able to successfully add the sample animation to an existing site which is great. Next question: is there sort of a market place where I can buy characters, skins, etc?

Great!

We don't host such a marketplace, as being a middleman has many logistics. You might try posting a request on the Networking forum, or browsing the available animators there.
