Pixel Art Puppet Tool
+GIF export.
A bit hard to use, but it works great for me for 64x64 sprites;
__________________________
To get you started to understand how it works, follow these step by step:
Tutorial: 'Test Sprite' (top right button) -> Add pins with Pin Tool (on by default, cursor is a double circle) -> Add a master keyframe (KF) on frame 1 -> Add a keyframe on frame 16;
Pick a frame in the middle, let's say frame 7 -> Pick Move Tool (cursor will become a cross) -> Move pins with move tool to create a new deformation for the sprite -> add keyframe to frame 7 -> press Play;
(Make sure that animated pin is present in keyframe 1 and 16)
(Chains icon on the top is a toggle to 'Keep Mesh', so 'triangles' are not being redrawn if your mesh is highly distorted)
___________________________
If result is great: press 'Export Puppet' -> you will get a .png sprite sheet
If you want more fine tuning: press 'Bake Animation' -> On the very right of 'Pixel Editor', press arrow, it will open a pixel editor for every frame.
[Baking is done with 64x64, you will need to change that in the 'Export - size:' to Bake into a different resolution]
After fine tuning with Pixel Editor, press 'Export Pixel' and you will get sprite sheet from Pixel Editor;
If you want GIF - pick the format option and do the same: beware, GIF may mess up some of the colors.
