Consistent framing
Preview and export use the same camera setup. Choose 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 directions.
Trueway Product · Blender extension · v1.0.0 release build ready
One model. Build your army.
Turn 3D animation into sprites for your game. Render views together, keep a consistent look and update your character without reworking every frame by hand.
Less repeated work
More views and animation from one source.
Update what changed
Bake What Changed checks animation states and passes, reusing current files and rebuilding stale output.
Images and data together
Atlases include direction, frame, timing and motion metadata. Add the passes you need for lighting or masking.
How it works
Model → preview → export.
- 01
01 Choose the model and animation
Use your rig, object or Collection. Add the animations you want to use in your game.
- 02
02 Check the views
Set directions and resolution. Preview Camera and Measure Framing help check the silhouette before rendering.
- 03
03 Bake and inspect
Bake What Changed writes atlases and JSON. Use Show Preview to inspect the baked frames.
Illustrated Quick Start
Your character in motion
The same character. Motion from every side.
A Mutant animation exported with SpriteOrbit. The preview plays baked 2D frames from four sides; no live 3D model is rendered here.
Export your own character
The Quick Start takes you from your model and animation to an atlas and engine metadata.
Quick StartBake What Changed
Edit the character. Update the sprites.
Edit the material in your 3D source, then run Bake What Changed. This example shows the Mutant actually rebaked after changing its material tint.
What needs rendering again?
The scope depends on the edit: camera or atlas layout changes can invalidate more data than a material color change.

FAQ
Before your first export.
Do I need a rig?
A rig is used for skeletal animation. Objects, hierarchies and Collections can also be baked as a Static Snapshot.
Can the game control movement?
Yes. Locked in Cell exports movement as metadata; Travel in Pixels keeps it in the image. Playback depends on engine integration.
Is this a full spherical impostor?
The current version samples directions at one camera elevation. Full spherical sampling is outside its scope.
Where can I get the product?
The 1.0.0 build is validated. Join the waitlist for availability updates while the marketplace listing is pending.
