From motion capture to a clean spritesheet

One focused desktop workflow for indie developers and pixel artists.

The workflow

From character to spritesheet,
without the frame-by-frame grind.

01

Bring your character

Start with a built-in avatar or import your own rigged GLB or FBX character.

02

Find the right motion

Browse a large animation library for Mixamo-compatible rigs, or import custom rigs with their own animation clips.

03

Art-direct the pixels

Tune the camera, lighting, materials, outlines, color, glow, pixel scale, weapons, and VFX.

04

Export game-ready sheets

Set the exact frames and directions you need, then export spritesheets locally from the desktop app.

Shape your pixel art style

Turn a 3D model into your own pixel art.

Start with a 3D rigged character, then use Spryte’s post-processing controls to dial in the look. Adjust pixelation, outlines, and inside glow in the sidebar and preview your custom style as you go.

Layer the action

Weapons that move with your character.

Add a main-hand or off-hand weapon, align it directly in the scene, and keep it attached through the animation.

Build the impact

Author effects in the same shot.

Place, time, and preview VFX alongside the character so your exported frames arrive composed—not as disconnected parts.

Built-in editing tools

Edit every part.
Keep it in one place.

Shape 3D models, paint textures, edit animation, build effects, and refine the final pixels—all inside one focused workflow.
