How to loop any PNG sequence in Spine 2D

Welcome to this tutorial! Today, we will be exploring how to animate a fire PNG sequence using Spine 2D. By importing the sequence and animating it, we can create a seamless loop. To achieve this, we will duplicate the sequence and overlap it with a half cycle offset. So let's get started and make some magic together!


Import PNG sequence into Spine

  • Copy the sequence into your Spine project directory

  • In Spine drag the first image of the sequence which will create an image attachment

  • Select that attachment and convert it to sequence attachment

  • Remove the index from the attachment's name and add it in the properties panel
