| Um, I hope these are not too stupid but here goes: I would like to use Blender to create my sprites, buildings, etc, for use as 2D in BlitzMax. (If I can teach myself how to use it.) I'm a complete idiot when it comes to 3D game creation. 1. Can I render to any size output - say I want to render to 64x64.bmp or .png? 2. Can the software render animated sequences to a tilemap type file? Or spitestrip type file? Something that can be used by the BlitzMax command DrawAnimImage()... Or do I have to create the file in a seperate program from individual renders? Again, sorry if these are completely useless questions. I just downloaded and installed blender and haven't played with it much. I just don't want to waste my time learning something if it will not help me. |

| 1. Yes, you can 2. You can render to avi or a number of image files. Then you will probley need to process them into a tile image formated image of your own choosing. Maybe a simple blitz app to chop frames and place them on an image. |

| Hmmm. I wonder if anyone has written a Python script to do just this task??? I'll have to do some research.... |

| No need to write your own application to stitch your animation strip. Use GlueIT. |

| My spriteforge app may be what you want (see sig), it works well with the b3d exporter from blender (a 3rd party script) It is free for sprites up to a certain size. |

| Thanks, D4NM4N, I'll look into it. |

| +1 for GlueIT and +10 for SpriteForge ;) |
