I'm wondering how Unity3D would work for rendering spritesheets of models, rotated 360 degrees by ten degree increments.
How easy would it be to cook up a script that would do that? How good would the rendering be?

Rotated on which axis? Several people on the forum have plugged SpriteManager as the best way to deal with sprites in Unity.

Mmm. What I was referring to-- sorry if this wasn't clear-- was producing 2D spritesheets from Unity3D. Rendering 3D models in Unity from desired and rotated camera angles, getting it to output a spritesheet, and then using that spritesheet inside a 2D engine.
Ideas? Is there a better method?

Do that with a proper 3D software?
I know that you can easily code that in blender, you only need to animate the camera (or the character) and then write a script to glue all images, if needed you can use ImageMagik

Can't stand Blender. hate hate hate. I should just bite the bullet and learn how in Maya, should be easy enough with MEL.

Hell, you can skip MEL and render animations as a series of TIFFs and stitch 'em in photoshop or something.

And one that I would be terrible at. Since I'm talking about numerous rotated sprites, I need a way to do it procedurally rather than going through the immense manual effort again and again. I'm just going to write a raytracer and do it that way. |

i've done similar in 3d studio, probably can be done in any 3d program... set up a camera that animates between each view angle while looping the animation as many times as there are view angles and render it out that way, then use another program to assemble the sprite sheets.
If you have a light source that needs to be constant then attach it to your camera so that it is always in the position you need the light coming from.

Do you still want a script for this? It's definitely something thats pretty easy to do inside of unity.

Yes, I'd be very interested in that.
I've been looking into Unity myself and I will begin moving over to that after I finish my current project.
Edit: Actually, don't bother, I'm just going to continue for a little while with what I have and then move over to Unity for 3D, rather than dicking around with sprite rendering.

Thanks very much! I will use it, and perhaps it will be useful to someone else as well. Cheers!
