The second row needs to move down by 4 MORE pixels than the top row, the third row 4 MORE pixels than that, and so on. The top row needs to move down by 4 pixels.

(There are of course a million different ways to calculate the new canvas size, but whichever way you go, you should get to the same conclusion.) For a full eight character spritesheet, you can multiply the single character sheet width by 4 and height by 2, for a full canvas of 576 x 416 pixels. For a single character spritesheet, you'd multiply the width by 3 and the height by 4, to get a canvas 144 x 208 pixels. That means you're wanting to change the size of your frames to 48 x 52 pixels. The way I understand it, you need to add 4 pixels to only the TOP of the frames. There are templates, but they're for the 48 x 48 pixel frames. The game reads the blank space as part of the sprite.

Since some sprites are for thinner characters than others, or they might be thinner head-on than side-on (like the horse), that means there is blank space in some of the frames. In the default spritesheets (except large monsters), they used a consistent frame size of 48 x 48 pixels. For a full spritesheet with 8 characters, each frame is 1/12 of the canvas width by 1/8 of the canvas height. For a single character spritesheet, MV calculates the size of each frame as 1/3 of the canvas width by 1/4 of the canvas height. Is there a tutorial for making sprite sheets with different sized sprites?įirst, there is not actually any 'padding' between characters and poses. I know that as long as everything stays proportional the game reads it properly but I can't seem to get the spacing in between the sprites right.ĭoes the padding in between characters and poses increase proportionally with the canvas size? If not how does it work? Is it always a certain number of pixels? Are there maybe templates somewhere I can use? Then I realized the padding between character poses and sheets were off and I can't seem to figure out how to properly adjust them. The first thing I tried was just increasing the canvas size (I'm editing with ) and then just shifting everything over by 1/2 the amount (increased canvas size by 4 pixels shifted everything 2 pixels left and down). Seems no matter what I do though I end up with the sprites misaligned and parts cut off. I'm working on editing some the character generator characters sprite sheets and I need about 4ish more pixels along the top to add a detail to one characters hair.
