Smack Studio is a platform fighting game, but one of our goals is to provide full-fledged animation tools to speed up pixel art creation for both hobbyists and pros.
We've been working on 2D animation tools for Smack Studio's character editor for more than 3 years, and the character editor now supports full 3D rotation for 2D sprites, using some incredible new graphics-processing technology!
This will make Smack Studio the first animation software capable of rotating a 2D sprite in 3D, with no need for a 3D model.
We're excited to share this tool with other artists and developers! All animations created in Smack Studio will be exportable as sprite sheets so that you can use them in your other projects.
