3D Sprite Rotator
4, 8 and 16 direction sprite sheets
Drawing a sprite from every direction is the slow part of a top-down or isometric game. The 3D Sprite Rotator builds one model and turns it for you: draw a front, side and top view and it carves them into voxels, or paint slices, or use the 3D brush on the turntable.
It renders hard-edged pixel frames with its own light and outline, as true 3D or as a sprite stack. A report marks in red any pixel of your drawing the carve lost, so you can fix it before you export.
The full edition takes larger models and any angle count up to 64, locks to our pack palettes with optional dither, and imports and exports .vox files.
