Auto Spritesheet Pro earns its place in the superhive library by handling the routine parts of sprite sheet creation—camera placement, rendering, and stitching—inside a single Blender add-on, with armature and NLA support and an in-Blender player for checking results. A demo video is available.
Auto Spritesheet Pro is a Blender add-on that turns 2D or 3D scenes into sprite sheets. It places cameras around your model, renders the frames you choose, and stitches them into one texture sheet, with transparent backgrounds, simple presets, and optional grids. A one-click Camera Ring generates up to 64 cameras around a central empty, and global controls for Distance, Tilt, projection, Ortho Scale, and Focal Length update every camera at once.
For animation, the Armature & NLA mode lets you pick an armature and browse its NLA tracks in a dropdown. The Combine NLA Sheet option renders each track at its full length and places it as its own row, and you can also make one sheet per track across all cameras, which suits isometric or 8-direction sets. Render settings sit in one panel: square resolutions from 8×8 to 2048×2048, Frame Range and Step, export as PNG, JPG, or TGA, and an output path.
A SpriteSheet Player previews and replays sprite sheet animations inside Blender before you import them into a game engine, with Linear or By Row playback and controls for FPS, loop, ping-pong, and scrubbing. Auto Spritesheet Pro is aimed at 2D/3D games, VFX, and UI work.
Auto Spritesheet Pro is best for blender users producing sprite sheets for 2D/3D games, VFX, and UI, including isometric or 8-direction sets from animated armatures.
Auto Spritesheet Pro is completely free to download and use.
Auto Spritesheet Pro includes an Armature & NLA mode for animated content. You select an armature and its linked NLA tracks appear in the Track dropdown for quick browsing and rendering. The Combine NLA Sheet option stitches all tracks into one sprite sheet, placing each track on its own row. The add-on calculates the longest needed frame range per track and respects your Step setting. You can also make one sheet per track across all cameras, which suits isometric or 8-direction sets.
Auto Spritesheet Pro keeps its render settings in a single panel. Frame resolution uses square sizes ranging from 8×8 up to 2048×2048, and you set a Frame Range plus a Step value to render every N-th frame. For output, you choose the export format between PNG, JPG, or TGA and set a destination path. Transparent backgrounds are supported, and an Assets Grid option can auto-calculate Rows and Columns from your current frame range to produce a compact sheet.
Auto Spritesheet Pro ships with a SpriteSheet Player that lets you preview and replay sprite sheet animations directly in Blender before importing them into your game engine. Load an image and the Player can auto-detect rows and columns from transparent grid gaps, or you can set them manually. It offers Linear mode for the whole sheet or By Row mode for one animation per row, handles different frame counts per row with per-row duration, and provides playback controls for FPS, loop, ping-pong, step/scrub, and start/stop.
Auto Spritesheet Pro is listed as free in this catalog. The developer, YourCubeTools, notes that proceeds support Blender, so licensing terms may differ on their own page. For current pricing, license details, and any purchase options, check the developer's page directly before downloading. What you get is the full sprite sheet workflow: automatic camera setup, render and combine options, armature and NLA support, and the SpriteSheet Player for previewing animations inside Blender.
