Advanced Pixel Animation Techniques
Art & DesignAdvanced14 min read
Once you're comfortable with basic pixel animation, these techniques will help your sprites come alive. We'll cover timing, easing, and using palette swaps to save memory.
Timing and Easing
Adjust frame durations to emphasize key frames. Use easing to create more natural motion.
Palette Swaps
Use palette swap techniques to reuse the same sprite for different characters or states with minimal memory overhead.
Looping Animations
Design loops carefully to avoid popping and maintain consistent rhythm.
