What kind of animation is this?
There are a bunch of programs that use rigged and meshed 2D images that create these sorts of animations. I have only used “Spline” for game animation http://esotericsoftware.com/

An animation from our game, Spiritfall.
We're using Spine2D http://esotericsoftware.com/ It's really great

Hey guys, any idea of how I can get animations like these, they are really smooth, I would like to know if that is cubism or 2d layers gif, and what kind of program or app I can use to get a similar result.
It’s rigged 2d animation. Look into spine. http://esotericsoftware.com

Help Using Spine with Godot!
You may have to learn spine separately from their tutorials and then figure out the godot integration from their sample projects: https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/tree/4.1/spine-godot/example

Live2D Is a Security Trainwreck
From the first glance it seems like Spine provides their libraries in source format (under non open source license) with pure C++, C# and TS implementations that don't depend on binary blobs (at least it seemed like it). You can find it here https://github.com/esotericsoftware/spine-runtimes . Even if C++ version is not safe, C# and TS versions are probably fine and, and the license mentions creating derivative works (assuming you follow the Editor license terms and some of invovled parties have an editor license) so you are probably allowed to create modified library which processes the files safely.

What is easier for graphics? 2D pixel art? or 3D models? 2D seems easier at the surface but one change and it needs to change all the work done before. For 3D its longer to sculpt and rig but more flexible for changes? Any tips on this, which direction should i go?
For example Spine: http://esotericsoftware.com/

I just wanted to share with you a cool lighting effect I made for 2D drawings.
Yes it's blender! I just painted normal maps by hand. Red for right side and green for up- It's very quick to do if you master well volume. And the good things, is that it deduce the down, and left.. So it can do cool stuff! If you don't want to paint it, there is this cool software that can do it : https://azagaya.itch.io/laigter

Is it possible to "procedurally" add shading (shadows and highlights) to my sprite, so when rotated, the shading doesn't just stay on the same side? (Godot 4)
If you need a tool to make normal maps (The tech behind the 2D lighting you desire) I recommend laigter: https://azagaya.itch.io/laigter

AI generated normal maps: are we there yet?
I really like the normal maps this tool generates for 2D assets: https://azagaya.itch.io/laigter

Normal maps are a god send
There's also Laigter, which makes it incredibly easy to generate normal maps for textures. I've used it for wall and ground textures in the past to great effect. :)

A quick broken-down cart I made tonight. Hand-pixeled in Aseprite, normal maps and light animation created in SpriteIlluminator
However the march of time continues and searching around there now seems to be a free opensource alternative that you might want to investigate that got an EPIC MegaGrant: Laigter

What are some alternatives?
When comparing spine-runtimes and laigter you can also consider the following projects:
Phaser - Phaser is a fun, free and fast 2D game framework for making HTML5 games for desktop and mobile web browsers, supporting Canvas and WebGL rendering. [Moved to: https://github.com/phaserjs/phaser]
ParrelSync - (Unity3D) Test multiplayer without building
unity-aseprite-importer - An aseprite-file importer for unity written in C#, built upon the experimental AssetImporter API
AwesomeBump - AwesomeBump is a free program written using Qt library designed to generate normal, height, specular or ambient occlusion textures from a single image. Since the image processing is done in 99% on GPU the program runs very fast and all the parameters can be changed in real time. AB was made to be a new alternative to known gimp plugin called Insane Bump.
UnityFx.Async - Asynchronous operations (promises) for Unity3d.
DeepNormals - Code and Dataset from Deep Normal Estimation for Automatic Shading of Hand-Drawn Characters
2D-Platformer-Hunter - A 2D Platformer Controller in Unity
cs-tween - Easing functions in C#. And coroutines for using them with Unity.
Gibbed.Borderlands2 - Tools & code for use with Borderlands 2.
