Wave Warp for Aseprite

Wave Warp - Animate wave distortions and shading effects in Aseprite.

Wave Warp is an Aseprite extension that lets you create animated wave distortions with precision and style. 

Whether you're designing rippling water, shimmering heat, or psychedelic effects, this tool gives you full control over direction, speed, shape, and shading, all from a dynamic preview interface.

✨ Features

• Animate wave distortions across multiple frames
• Choose from various wave types: sine, triangle, square, sawtooth, circle, and more

• Control amplitude, frequency, direction, speed, and phase
• Apply pinning to anchor wave motion (top, bottom, sides, center, etc.)

For larger images or complex layers, the preview animation might appear slower due to the processing cost of real-time distortion and shading or anti-aliasing enabled. This won’t affect the final generated result.

• Add real-time shading with lighting and shadow control
• Optional anti-aliasing and smooth/detailed shading modes

• Supports multiple selected layers
• Preview animation live before applying to your sprite
