Hi all

Is it possible to use Houdini Apprentice HD to create a 2d sprite sheet (.png) from an animated 3d model (.fbx) ?

If so, could someone please tell me how?

Many thanks!

You could render a sequence of images and then use COPs to build the sheet. I'm sorry I don't have time to give you a good example, but take something like the Color COP, set it to 0,0,0,0 RGBA, set it's size to the output size you want, load your sprite sequence in a File COP, and use an expression to lay out the sequence over the tranparent color COP with the COmposite COP.

or use the Mosaic COP to create a filmstrip of images.
There's at least one school like the old school!
