SpriteWorks is a utility that converts 3D models (DTS,X,FBX) into static or animated 2D sprite sheets. This is an ideal tool for any 2D game from RPG/RTS to arcade shooters - you can find free 3D models on TurboSquid and drop them into your 2D games very easily. SpriteWorks creates animated sprite sheets based on shape animation, axis rotation, or both.
