Does this mean we could have 3D pixel art games?

As mentioned before, this program outputs bitmap images, so there is no real time 3D camera aspect.

At best you could have sprite based fake 3D, made from real 3D renders, like in the days before the tech was there for realtime 3D.

That's really fucking cool. Can you make sprite sheets by turning each frame in an animation into pixel art?

That seems to be a distinct possibility. Very cool!

It poses some interesting possibilities. I've also heard it's significantly more expensive/time consuming to do sprite animation, so I wonder how much time/effort would be involved in animating 3D models, and then porting them to sprite form. Could it save time/money in the long run, or would it still average out to be the same if one did the sprite animation from scratch?

Honestly, if you're going to all the trouble of making a 3D model, I don't see why you would want to pixelify it. But I guess it's useful for the few indie devs who do pixel art based games.

You can animate a model without having to remake it for each frame.
