🎬 3D Animation / Prop → Sprite Capture Tool (Godot)

This tool allows you to automatically convert 3D animations and props into 2D sprites using Godot.

It was designed to work with Godot’s Humanoid Skeleton Profile (SkeletonProfileHumanoid), making it easy to reuse humanoid animation libraries and generate sprite sheets for 2D games.

The project also includes animation libraries with nearly 200 animations compatible with the Godot Humanoid Skeleton Profile, which can be used directly with the capture tool.

Simply place your 3D character in the scene, connect its AnimationPlayer, choose the animation you want to capture, and the tool will automatically render the frames. ⚡

✨ Features

• 🎞 Capture 3D character animations frame-by-frame • 🧭 Export 4 directions: front, right, back, left • ⚙ Adjustable FPS and output resolution • 🔢 Automatic frame naming and numbering • 📦 Capture static props (single frame mode) • 🦴 Compatible with Godot Humanoid Skeleton animations • 🚀 Batch capture large animation libraries • 🎭 Includes ~200 humanoid animations ready to use

🛠 How It Works

1. Import your 3D character into the scene.
2. Assign your character's AnimationPlayer.
3. Select the animation name you want to capture.
4. Set the FPS, output resolution, and output folder.
5. Run the scene and the tool will automatically capture every frame. 📸

The tool renders the animation using four cameras (front, right, back, left) and saves the resulting sprites as PNG images.

📂 Output Example

The exported files follow this format:

object_front_0000.png object_front_0001.png object_right_0000.png object_back_0000.png object_left_0000.png

This structure makes it easy to import the images into sprite animations or sprite sheets.

🎮 Use Cases

• Creating 2D sprites from 3D characters • Building top-down or RPG character animations • Generating sprite sheets for pixel or stylized games • Exporting props for 2D environments

📝 Notes

This tool was created to speed up the workflow of converting 3D animation libraries into usable 2D assets, especially when working with large humanoid animation packs.
