The final frame count for the yellow character track is 12 frames while the boots character track contains 36 frames. 36 is divisible by 12, so the 12 frame animation will loop 3 times to match the total runtime. In this instance, the total animation length is 36 frames.

This was only needed if the whole animation is designed to loop seamlessly.

While creating the shorter character animations, I made sure that loops were divisible by the total frame count. I simply used the Fill tool (G) to color each of the 36 animation frames. Multiple palette types are compatible with Hexels including. Palette files can be dragged directly onto the Palette tab (Ctrl+3) or imported via the cog (settings) icon at the bottom of the Palette window. I wanted my scene to have a limited color palette, so I downloaded a 29 color. The final frame count for the character was 36 frames. Internal linework used the same brush with a size of 5. Onion skinning displays a ghost image of the previous and next two frames, helping with judging alignment and flow. Switching to Timeline mode, I drew each of the frames with the Onion Skinning icon enabled (circled). I used the Pixel Round Brush found under the brush preset menu. My character animations were blocked out with crisp black outlines and filled in using the Fill Tool (G).

I began with the Pixel Trixels 1080p template, as I’d be primarily working with pixel layers and would only need a single vector layer for the dance floor. The animation would be colourful, lively and have loopable animations of various lengths, also known as sub-looping. Each animation track can have its own short sequence of frames repeating throughout an animation sequence.įor this dance-o-rama, I wanted to show an assortment of quirky characters strutting their stuff on the dance floor. Sub-loops are a powerful addition to the Timeline in Hexels 3.1.
