Tool proposal - Warp tool

[eFe-Munoz]

I think it would be incredible if Friction could have a similar animation tool for objects. The Warp tool allows you to triangulate the mesh and animate it with control points.

I also see it as very useful for animating images through deformation.

Video examples of Warp tool in Adobe animate:

Very cool!

I guess you know that Friction can animate the paths, not by control points but its own set of nodes:

It only works for individual paths, not for groups/layers or raster objects but it is better than nothing, hehehe.

Yes! I know it, and is great.

Congratulations on the documentation and examples!
