How to Make a Sprite Sheet from a 3D Animation

This video shows you how to export a 3D animation as images, and turn them into a sprite sheet for use with a 2D game engine. Stitching the sprite sheet together is done using a tool called ImageMagick, which is independent of Blender.

Using Blender 3.3.4 for this video (Blender 3.0 or greater should work fine)
Download and Install ImageMagick here: https://imagemagick.org/index.php
ImageMagick “montage” command reference: https://imagemagick.org/script/montag...
