Newbie trying to udnerstand deformation and 3d meshes.
trying to get this effect 
the way the limbs appear 3d by reading this guide Meshes - Spine User Guide
and having little luck, I have a soccer ball as my attempt. Trying to get it to appear 3d, make it turn inward from the left and from the right or bounce up and down tilting forward and back but I don't really understand how the effect is created. I have a yellow "edge" going vertical and another going horizontal across the ball, I slapped on a big bone in the middle of the ball and binded it with the mesh. But when I transform the ball i dont see the effect. Are there specific videos that can show this effect? I specifically bought this software to learn this effect but having trouble understanding it.. :shake:
The problem specific of a soccer ball is the fact that it has no edges and that being round, if you want to make it truly 3D you should be able to show the hidden parts of it while hiding others, also it mostly retains its shape (except if you're squashing/stretching it) so the 2.5D deformation isn't really useful.
If you want to learn this effect I recommend objects that have a hard edge or that are at least soft, so the deformation doesn't look weird/unnatural.
Here's the topic that goes more in depth on the specific example that you posted: two girls animation.
Here's a topic where you can download an example project with a 2.5D cube effect: How to turn your 2d character looking 3D
I think you also need to check the weights on your image, if when you move the bone you don't see changes, maybe they all got set on only one bone: Weights - Spine User Guide To fix this you can select all the bones in the weights panel and click auto, or you can manually paint the vertices.
thanks appreciate it.
