JB2A_DnD5e VS moulinette-core

JB2A has a lot of animated spell effects. Not so much animated things though. You can get some of them for free, but I think most are available through Patreon.

I would keep my eye on Advanced Spell Effects by Vauryx. He does some pretty amazing things in setting up some of these more mechanically complicated spells to be fully functional. He recently added a couple Wall spells to the repertoire and while Wall of Light isn't in there yet he has said that more are on the way now that he has the foundations of wall mechanics figured out. He has a couple dedicated channels in the JB2A Discord where he posts updates and whatnot.

What you can do is go to their Github at https://github.com/Jules-Bens-Aa/JB2A_DnD5e and then download the zip file. All of the animations are in the zip and they are simply .webm files that you can import as tiles in any system. (Or assign as token art, etc.)

Jules & Ben's Animated Assets is amazing, https://www.patreon.com/JB2A, with plenty of animated spell effects.

Moulinette (specifically Moulinette Core + probably Moulinette Scanes, Tiles, and Image Search given what you mention). It provides an experience more similar to what you're describing to look for assets. I'm too finicky about my file compression to personally use it much - I'm a Filepicker Improvements stan myself as its ability to favorites to the filepicker suites me well - but a lot of folks love Moulinette for the experience you're after.

I'm personally a Filepicker Improvements fan, but a lot of people love bigger overhauls like Moulinette's search options or Alpha Suit's file manager. There's also folks that prefer just working from their own files/internet and go Drag Upload.

Moulinette Core Module by Dorgendubal https://github.com/SvenWerlen/moulinette-core

If you pay a bit extra you can also get his stuff loaded in foundry through the moulinette cloud

Here to share hundreds of exclusive tracks for you to use on Moulinette from a subscription on our Patreon. Moulinette is a great tool to use external content on FoundryVVT (e.g. ambiences), literally just $2.00 on their Patreon.

so I do the battlemap 'floor' in dungeondraft for walls, major cemented features etc. Then I do the furniture etc using moulinette(good for searching tiles, indexing) + the forgotten adventures free pack in Foundry directly. Keeping as much of it in foundry lets me edit on the fly. Here is what it looks like. this approach allows me to move objects, have overhead items, still add water, remove barriers, etc etc. I wanted something with as little technical knowledge investment as I could while still getting what I needed.
