  • Animating a walk cycle with a scrolling background?

I made a basic side view/profile walk cycle and want to add a background which is essentially a large rectangular picture movie from left to right on the static walk cycle. The problem is when I add the background and move it across its WAY to big to export. Spine renders EVERYTHING including the entire width of the background. Normally I would have no issue doing this in Flash or Photoshop but is there a way to crop or have spine only render a specific area? Is there a work around for this? 🙁

basically i want to achieve this gif's effect. static character walking with background moving. https://imgur.com/a/IwFg5

If your target is videogames, simply leave the background out and animate it in your game engine of choice,
if you want to make a gif, it's better if you export the character separately and apply the background outside of Spine.
Or you can use programs to capture the animation already cropped as a gif like http://www.screentogif.com/
We might implement the option to select only a portion of the animation as a stage or camera in the future, but it goes after the other enhancements planned (:

thanks I'll try your ideas.
