Using spine json data with libgdx?

[wreed12345]

Hey guys! I'm not sure if you know about the animation tool spine, but its an awesome tool that greatly helps with 2d animations and can be found here: http://www.java-gaming.org/topics/spine-2d-skeletal-animation/27914/view.html  Ok so you have the ability to export the data as a .json so I am curious in how you do this. I have no experience with json so I don't want to purchase spine until I know I can use it (the trial version cant export) Is importing that json data anything like these tutorials here? http://code.google.com/p/libgdx/wiki/JsonParsing Sorry if this is a newbie question i have never done something like this. Thanks in advanced!

Yesterday I actually wrote code to import Spine animations...

You need the full version to be able to export as JSON.

Yes, I think he used the JSON parsing utilities available in LibGDX to parse the Spine skeletons/animations.

How did everything work out after you imported it?

I'm still working out the rendering (well, once I get home from work). The full version has code with it that I glanced at... it has matrix operations pulled out and "simplified" (made more efficient) however it makes it really hard to follow. I'm just going to use straight up Matrix math because I hate copying (let alont looking at) other peoples code. Doing this will definitely take more time but I'll have a better understanding of it (it's all about finding the right order of operations).
