In this video, I dive a little deeper into clips and masks in Inkscape. When I recorded the video on Clip Groups, I wasn't happy with the lack of editing options once a clip or a mask are set. I decided to use clones to the clip/ mask and use the source shape to control the mask from the outside... and it worked.
This video covers the creation and a few different examples of what you can easily achieve by adding clones to your masks and clips. It was surprising and I had a lot of fun with it!

This tutorial from 2Dgameartguru.com continues the redesign of the caveman game character from the two earlier videos.
The video shows how to arrange and export the parts in Inkscape and take them into the animation tool. In Spine, I set the key pose, add the bones and create a simple idle and walk animation.
[Spine can be found here: http://esotericsoftware.com/ ]
The same can be done in similar software to Spine. Spriter or Dragon Bones come to mind [skeletal-based animation and editors are also implemented in some game engines].
