Scene Studio

Build a Nightglow scene, watch it run, export it.

Start from

Or drop files here
A .zip you exported earlier, or a scene.json together with its images.
Plain images start something new — one file is a still, several are one animation.

Layers — back to front

Nothing yet. The first thing you add is usually the background.

Texture budget

Cost is the file's pixel size, not the size you draw it at. A small image stretched to fill the screen is cheap; a huge one shrunk down is not. A Roku has about 23 MB.

Reminders

  

    Only animate what moves. A candle flame as its own 8 frames plus a
    still candlestick costs a fraction of one big sequence containing both.


    Every frame the same size. Don't trim each frame to its content or the
    character will jump.


    Layers stack in the order above. A still can sit in front of an
    animation — a curtain, a bed post.
