Pixi Texture Atlas Animation Library suggestion

[jjwallace]

I come from the Phaser world but have recently been working on a new application using PixiJS v4.5+

I don't like the pixiJS sprite sheet example and really would like to find a solution to handleing sprite animations much like phaser2 had.

I have taken a look at smoothie.

I use tweenMax for tweens.

What animation libraries do you use for sprites?

Have you tried Spine (or DragonBones)?  Both work well with Pixi and are often more versatile and expressive than the spritesheet-only approach (but at the cost of some extra runtime performance requirements).

Otherwise we've been using the Pixi extras "AnimatedSprite" as a starting point for plain spritesheet animation (combined with Shoebox to generate the Atlas, TexturePacker also works well).
