A very cool idea with impressive results, but sadly, side-scrollers will only have left/right sprites, and top-down games will only have front/back/left/right.

A very cool idea with impressive results, but sadly, side-scrollers will only have left/right sprites, and top-down games will only have front/back/left/right. Whereas the Mario example in the article also has top/bottom.
So to actually use this, you're going to have to be able to make the missing sides yourself. And if you can do that, you can probably design a better 3D block model as well.
- egometry 11y agoNot necessarily. 3D modelling and sprite artistry are very different skills.
- pervycreeper 11y agoNot so. 90s FPS games (such as Doom) use enemy sprites with views from multiple angles for each frame. Would be a good test project for this and would dovetail nicely with the existing Doom voxel project.
