I wonder if this will be decent at creating sprite frame animations. So far I've had very poor results and I've had to do the unthinkable and toil it out manually.

I created this little demo of an animated sprite sheet using generative AI. It's not great, but it is passable.

Looks good to me. Would be nice to see the process. I'm having trouble with parts of the stride when the far leg is ahead. Doing 8-directional isometric right now.

I had exactly the same thought! I've got a game I've been wanting to build for over a decade that I recently started working on. The art is going to be very challenging however, because I lack a lot of those skills. I am really hoping the AI tools can help with that.

Is anyone doing this already who can share information on what the best models are?

Use the imagegen skill in codex and ask it to create sprites. It works really well.

I didn't have great success last i tried, but i will give it another shot this week. Presumably they incorporated improvements to the skill?

Thank you!

It's still bad.
