Share them with fellow artists in the Facebook Hexels User Group. Explosions, boats and lettering were added to existing layers to fill out the scene.Ĭreate your own parallax animations using the 14 day trial of Hexels. The illusion of depth was enhanced by reducing the opacity for layers in the distance. This creates invisible frames in between every frame to smooth out and slow down the final animation. The Frame Tweening values were increased in the Animation Settings window. File>Export will not respect the Frame Tools. Select your Frame Tool and click 'Fit to Selection'. Click on the transparent negative space around your art. The Frame tool (F) was used to crop any unwanted layer edges from view. However, if you only want to export to the bounds of your artwork then you will need to create a selection of the desired boundary. Remember, layers beyond the pivot point (Layer 0) move in opposite directions to layers ahead of the pivot point. To end the animation at the starting position, Frame 1’s Transform keyframe was copied and pasted to Frame 8.Īn isometric diagram of the final animation. The Transform Tool (T) was used to keyframe the Transform of Frame 1 for Layer 1 moving slightly to the right, then another at Frame 5 moving in the opposite direction. Layer 0 (shaded grey in the image) is our static pivot point that other elements orbit around. I’ve switched to Timeline mode and added 7 frames to the animation track. I added my characters and arranged all the layers in order of depth The top layer contained the nearest element and the bottom layer contained the farthest. In order to animate the parallax effect, the buildings and bridges needed to be cut and pasted into their own pixel layers. I drew a cityscape on a Pixel layer using the Line tool (L) with my pencil size set to 5.

I started with the Pixels Trixels 1080p template and doubled the canvas size from 1920×1080 to 3840×2160. The closer an object is to the pivot point, the less it appears to move. It’s created by looping multiple tiling planes at varying speeds.Īn Orbital Parallax effect, on the other hand, simulates a camera orbiting a pivot point.Įlements beyond the pivot point move in the opposite direction to those ahead of the pivot point. This animation is an example of Asymmetrical Scrolling. Foreground layers move at a different speed to background layers depending on their perceived distance from the camera. What is a Parallax Effect?Ī parallax effect is an illusion of depth using layered 2D elements.

This guide will show you how to use Hexels to create a dynamic, comic book style sequence with an orbital parallax effect.
