Sprite Generator

3D asset to UI sprite, without a render scene

Frame a 3D asset, light it, outline it, and write the icon sprite, with no render scene to set up and no DCC round trip.

Overview

Every shop, garage and inventory screen needs a flat icon of a thing that exists in 3D. The usual answer is a render scene somebody maintains, or a trip through a DCC package and back.

Sprite Generator renders the asset live in an off-screen preview you can orbit, lights it with up to three placeable lights, dilates a coloured outline around the silhouette, and writes the supersampled sprite with its alpha.
