Pixelize3D (Godot version)

this Project was build in Collaboration with 2BytesGoat as a Free tool

What does this app do?

Pixelize3D takes the 3d model and renders the animation into a Spritesheet to be used in any game engine.

What is the recommended Format for the 3d model?

glb or gltf scince they are supported by Godot

How to use it?

drag and drop any 3D model the program will detect any camera from your 3d model so make sure to include it when you export to glb format . you can also drag and drop an color palette as an image to control the colors you can enable one of 4 shaders.

"Mono chrome" is a black and white useful is your making a game that has a retro feel like the Playdate. "Color limit" the built in color reduction don't require any color palette . "Color pallete" to limit the colors to a color palette. "Normal" that enables rendering as a normal map for the sprites to be affectd by light.

Render Modes:

"Eight" direction well 5 to be honest and then flipped to reduce size Kinda like doom or XenoGears . (each animation spritesheet are saved by the name of the animation in the same directory) Make sure the character face is toward the camera

"Isometric" true 8 directions no flipping

each animation seperate it saves the animation from the current angle

All to save everything in one spritesheet . not recommended for long animations as thier is a hardware limitation for the size of the texture.

"One" saves each animation as it is good for side scrollers like donkey kong country each animation are a sepirate png as a sepirate 

Can I render a Static model without animation like Trees, house or a Rock ?

Yes you can just drag and trop it into the scene no need to include any animations

What is this Save as Scene option?(Toggel of if you are using other game engines)

This is for Godot users only the option export as a scene will include a sprite3D as a scene and in it is an animationPlayer "used by Godot" as a Scene with all animation keyframed and ready to be used in your project.
