Spriteinator

A Blender tool for exporting a scene as a series of pre-rendered sprites, viewed from N directions.

Requirements

This has been tested on Blender 3.6, but there's nothing that should stop it from working as early as 2.80

Features

Animations

Exports each available Blender Action as a series of frames for each direction. The naming scheme is ACTION_NAME.FRAME.

You can define the animation resolution, this steps the animation a given number of frames between renders.

Godot exporting

Important

This addon only supports Godot 4.1+. It uses typed array export for making working with the exported resources nicer, and they have only been added in 4.1.

With the Godot option checked, if the export folder is in a Godot project, handles organizing the frame data.

Inserts a couple GDScript files to define custom Spriteinator resources in res://scripts/vendor/
Creates a mega-resource DIRECTORY_NAME.tres in the directory you exported to, containing all the information.
To access it, check how it's structured in the editor, it goes Animation -> Direction -> Frame

Installation

As is usual with Blender add-ons, navigate to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons, click the Install button, and select spriteinator.py you downloaded.
