Tile Animation Forge (MZ/MV)

Animated A1 tiles without the tedium

RPG Maker MZ’s A1 sheet is 768×576 pixels of exact geometry: 16 autotiles, three frames each, edges and inner corners in precisely the right cells. Tile Animation Forge builds all of that for you. Drop in a single seamless 48×48 tile, pick how it moves, and save a sheet that goes straight into img/tilesets.

What it does

• Generates the full autotile block from one tile: sample, inner corners, bordered square, and a procedural shoreline you control
• Seven effects, all phased to MZ’s real frame order (1-2-3-2 for water, 1-2-3 for waterfalls): shimmer, wave, flow, color cycling, glint, foam drift, caustics
• A live map preview with a lake and island so every edge case is visible before you export
• 16 built-in sample tiles with matching presets: water, deep water, sea, waterfall, lava, poison swamp, slime, grass, sand, dirt, mud, gravel, stone, snow, ice, clouds
• Import an existing A1 sheet, keep its hand-drawn edges, and add animation on top
• Save the whole sheet or just one block for touch-up in your paint program
