Add-on that converts rendered frames into a sprite sheet once render is complete

spritify's Issues

Incorrect work of addon if there are other files in the directory for rendering

The addon can lead Blender to hang if a directory for rendering are already exist some files (images, videos, etc).
Some details can be found here:

Make bin path to Imagemagick configurable

The binary path to the imagemagick binaries should be configurable. On macOS using brew to install imagemagick puts them into /usr/local/bin, which isn't a path in Blender's PATH environment variable.

Making the path configurable from the script would help here.

The tmp directory can't be found on Linux

FIleNotFound: 'montage' -- OS X 10.10.1

I do in fact have montage (via ImageMagick) installed:

Version: ImageMagick 6.9.0-10 Q16 x86_64 2015-03-09 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2015 ImageMagick Studio LLC
License: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/license.php
Features: DPC Modules
Delegates (built-in): bzlib freetype jng jpeg ltdl lzma png xml zlib

possible feature: export NLA/frame animation info as text

It would be very useful to streamline the art-to-game process even further by exporting animation data along with sprites, so that developers could import information like start and end frames of the sprites, where animations start and stop, and sprite dimensions.

Example:

0, 49, walk
49, 86, shootGun
86, 91, pain1
91, 96, pain2
96, 120, idle
120, 129, DIE

When I was exporting lots of sprites with spritify, I wrote a seperate script to print this information, I hope it helps if you end up adding this feature.

Grease Pencil Animations?

Hey man, I know this wasn't made for GP, but I thought I would at least bring it up. Any way to have an option to search for GP animations, since GPs are now their own objects? This could make for some great 2D animation implementations. ;)

Support cropped render regions

If a render region is set up and is set to "crop", the spritesheets are still generated using the setup resolution.

Support Multiviews

I use multiviews to directly render my sprite animation from eight angles. This produces files with a suffix. It would be nice if Spritify could use that and render a different spritesheet from each camera.

Support render resolution

Currently, Spritfy doesn't adhere to the render resolution when creating sprite sheets.

Upgrade to 2.8

Any chance of this getting updated to blender 2.8?

extra frames in gif

I've started to make good use for this for my latest 3d deviations (more in the works), so big thanks again for making this ^^ http://dreadknight666.deviantart.com/gallery/697059/3D

It's very handy, though I found a small issue: if I render a sprite sheet, do some revisions and change the animation's length from 80 frames down to 60 or whatever, the extra frames will still remain in the tmp folder and they'll get used in the gif even if they're out of scope, creating unwanted results.
So the create gif function should only use the frames needed, as currently defined in the blend file.
