Animating objects inside JavaFX 2D Game

Question

I'm going to build a simple online 2D game using JavaFX. but i have a question regarding animating graphic objects inside it . for example if a have a vector for "person" and want a move his hand only , Should i redraw many sprites for this movement ? and play an animation for replacing the image quickly ?

Almost I know that way . but what i want to know is there another way instead redrawing many images for one movement?

What i mean is there a way for moving the hand only freely for same image ? and If i'm using Inkscape and has exported the image as fx. does it help to do that ?

Your tips please , i'm new to this field

Answer 1

• Use inverse kinematics for JavaFX for animating rigged vectors.
• Use sprite animation for animating bitmapped images.
• Use fbx for animating 3D models.
