Hey, everyone! I was making a Romulan Warbird (from Startrek). I was thinking of making it a new ship, and when I went to render to see how it would do, I thought, "Why don't I make it a 3D sprite?" The answer was, "Because I don't know how!" So, that's why I'm here. Does anyone know how to make Mewox-style sprites in Strata 3D? (The kind where the look like (url="http://"http://www.SaberStudios.evula.net")Saber Studios(/url) graphics) Thanks for the help.

I'm assuming you mean a sprite rendered in perspective, rather than bird's-eye view. The simplest way would be to switch to isometric view and group the ship so you can manipulate it as one object. Then render a frame, rotate the ship 10ş, and render the next frame, etc. until you have 36 frames. Or you could render an animation of the ship rotating 360ş in 36 frames, to produce the desired sprite.

Yeah. That's right.

Would you take the object, and manipulate it to where it is viewed from the top during isometric? I tried to do that before, and it didn't work the best. If you want to play with it, you can download it(url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/madman801/Warbird.sit")here(/url) . Thanks for the help.
Right, here's what to do :
