How to Animate Hand Sprites with Accessories
|
|
|
If you wish to animate a character with a chosen accessory, then you need to follow the correct setup order which at first might seem counterintuitive. You need to first add a motion and then, add the hand sprite accessory. Doing the reverse will cause your accessory to disappear after the first animation frame. |

|
| When applying certain motions like the “Punch” below, you first need to adjust the position of joint mask for a correct masking result. In this case, we don’t need the joint mask so we simply put it to the side. In other cases you might need to scale or move the joint mask to its appropriate position.
