RPG Maker MZ users gain precise control over character proportions with this plugin. It stretches sprite heights around the torso area, enabling taller figures without altering original game assets.

Recent updates fix issues such as darkened translucent areas in walking graphics and missing animation flashes on modified sprites. A batch image output tool for gait graphics joins the package, streamlining design workflows. RPG and design enthusiasts building commercial projects in the RPG Maker series find it essential for custom body ratios, despite potential bush tile hiding quirks.

The processing methods are written in a way that is difficult to comprehend by other developers and thus making finding workarounds very difficult..
