hey was this created in 3d?
Hi thank you for your interest.
Yes I use a 3D model and 3D animations to generate 2D sprites and normal maps.
would love to know how you converted this to 2d sprites from 3d
I created a program to convert 3D models/animations to 2d sprites. I used the same pipeline than the game dead cells.
This pipeline is perfect to generate normal map and apply light effect on yours sprites.
