Here's how to make 3D sprite art with 2D drawings!

this is not a 3D model this character started out as just Sprites and only 101 pixels tall so I separated his Limbs and then I brought him into a program called smack Studio from there I mapped his 2D Sprites onto the bones that I made in a 3D skeleton so when you move and you rotate the bones the Sprites are just redrawn onto the canvas with the 3D transformation applied this is how it appears to be 3D but it's actually just more Sprites there's no 3D mesh that even exists for this character the program knows what the character looks like based off of an educated guess but you can also mess with the depth map if it didn't guess quite right although this technique can't reproduce every type of 3D shape it really helps with references when trying to get tricky poses and depth down in your art
