GDVecRig

GDVecRig is a Godot 4 plugin that provides vector graphics with one specific goal: ability to perform skeletal animation with Bezier control points rather than with rasterized vector graphics.

To accomplish this goal, GDVecRig consists of a vector graphics editing tool built-in to Godot, along with the required architecture to enable rigging vector graphics to skeletons.

Unfortunately, existing vector formats are generally unsuited to game vector graphics. In particular, vector graphics editors generally do not support very nice masking operations or useful models for strokes / lines in drawings.

However, Godot already has a lot of useful operations built in for compositing graphics, including a hierarchical scene tree, and, in Godot 4, masking operations!

This means that the only thing really missing from Godot is a way to represent individual vector graphics objects in a way that can be easily rigged to 2D skeletons. That is what this plugin intends to provide.

Currently, the plugin is in a work-in-progress state; vector editing works to some degree, as well as rigging, but it needs more work to be fully usable.
