2D animation

[MichelangeloSFML/]

Is it possible to shift & bend images in real-time with SFML, in order to create fluid animation? Something like this Photoshop tutorial, where triangles are placed on top of images & then you manipulate the image.

Can you bend & shift a collection of sprite images that will make up a larger unit/character? Can you do it with triangles in SFML?

That's way advanced, it's possible if you program entire backend including triangulation, IK..

If the shapes are separate or textured sprites, then you can apply some bending with a shader, but you won't be easily just bend certain parts of an image, because the first requires you to extract those "certain parts" from the overall image, which is not trivial.
