Made a sprite generator Thread

I made a demo showing some of the sprites I made with it here: Pugetsoundtraining.com

I just prototyped this last night and was thinking of features to add so a person can choose from a large selection of animated 3d models, change lighting and camera angle to get the look they want (daytime/nighttime and preset camera isometric, dimetric, top down + free form camera adjustment) then press the generate button and get a sprite sheet with 8+ frames all 256x256 and are aligned perfectly.

I was thinking of bundling assets in it and releasing as an exe where you can customize and generate sprites from the assets until the cows come home as it outputs a png atlas with 8+ frames. I could make the number of frames customizable, the size of the atlas you want back, size of the tiles, etc....

The first pack would have 25-50 animated models like animals and characters. I'd then release further packs such as castle segments and inanimate stuff that you can make 256x256 tiles from with the click of a button.

Also the video is made in my mobile project, building for PC/Mac(final release) would have much higher resolution models than shown in the video.

What do you think I should add or focus on? I should re-emphasize IT"S JUST A PROTOTYPE, it would be much more polished before releasing. (obviously cropping out the pink background and syncing animation with shot intervals)

Wow that's really awesome, could help people making mods for games such as age of empires. Are you planning to share your program to the public or keep it private.

Hey I've been working on it for a few more days now. Now it removes the pink color with the alpha channel and saves with a transparent background.

I made a little webpage where I threw some sprites generated from my generator that are animated with javascript/jquery: Pugetsoundtraining.com

Check out these different rendering options I set up:

I was hoping to find 3d modelers to partner with and bundle their content with my generator in "packs" for like $5-$10 and probably a free version without content.
