I'm not sure the names are very helpful. The Cutout animation tutorial is more about that specific way of animating sprites than it is about using Skeleton2D. The Skeleton2D tutorial, on the other hand, provides much more detail about using the Skeleton2D node. |
|
So, should I move the information about Skeleton2D from the "2D skeletons" page to the "2d skeletal deform" page? |

Sometimes you use the term "skeletal deforms" and sometimes "skeletal deformations". I would prefer "skeletal deformations"

Starting from here, the names for the bone and sprite nodes are different from the defaults, but there are no instructions to change the name of the nodes. How about
Create an empty Node2D as the root of the scene, and rename it as "GBot". We will work under it:
| Head over to the *Points* mode, select the pencil and draw a polygon around the | ||
| desired piece: | ||
| Continue adding body pieces, starting with the | ||
| right arm (your left). Make sure to put each sprite in its correct place in the hierarchy, |

The image here shows the body bone with a Y position transform not mentioned in the text

This looks like the same illustration as tuto_cutout6.png, and doesn't match the description text.

Hi, I'm new to Godot (and game dev in general). I was following the docs https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/animation/cutout_animation.html#doc-cutout-animation and it's really confusing how it's so outdated. None of it's talk about how bones work is correct. I think an even imperfect version of fixed docs would be much more usable than what's there today. I'd love to see this revived and shipped. I'll try to follow instructions from the .rst files. |

I have renamed the cutout animation page to "2D Skeletons" and the 2d skeletons page to "2d Skeletal Deform" and updated the contents of each page accordingly. I cut out the stuff about making bones with sprites because that's not possible anymore.
