Creating an animated sprite from particles?

News & General Discussion
1

Hey, just wondering if any one knows any programs (mac preferred, but windows will do as well) that can make animated sprites?
I am looking for something like unitys built in particle editor, but able to export each frame out?

Has anyone come across something like this? Or even better, have an idea on how I can export each frame of a particle in Unity?:sunglasses:

I found this tool http://www.rigzsoft.co.uk/ “TimeLineFX”… It costs money,w as hoping for a free alternative :slight_smile:

It’s Windows only, but Texture Maker has a particle system that renders out frames. I haven’t played with that feature much, so I can’t say for sure how good it is though.

Thanks, I will give that a go in parallels or something…
Anything else? something mac native perhaps? :slight_smile:

Just grab a screenshot in png each frame?

Timeline FX is way better. And costs what 30? come on.

I was thinking of doing that… But depending on the effect that could be a lot of work in photoshop :wink:

Your right TimelineFX is great, and the price is fantastic. But at this point this is not a requirement for us. More as a novelty. That 30 dollars could be put towards something I need at this moment.
Normally I wouldn’t even think twice and just buy it. But I am not working right now so need to conserve my funds and spend wisely when it comes to tools.
