Very nice. I think I'm on to something with a flat vertex object, rigging it with bones. I'm trying to load the image I want to trace (the sprite) - something I draw in Procreate and save it as a png with a transparent background. I want to map it to the flat vertex object. I'm having trouble with Carrara. It keeps crashing when I try and adjust the mesh - weight mapping. Every time I touch the bone to increase its influence, Carrara crashes. Ugh! I like your method. I am hoping to come away from Carrara with animated gifs similar to what can be done with Creature Pro - lots of mesh manipulation on a sprite to show dynamic movement. Thanks Mark! Any idea why Carrara Pro 8.5.1 is crashing in the vertex room when adjusting weight mapping?

Never Give Up!
