The Spritesheet Process Bible

[Davy Jones]

Here is also a tool called Sheet Maker:

SheetMaker needs Java to work, click on the .jar file to start the tool.

What to do with it:
- If you have single pictures with transparency and want to make a sprite sheet with them, this is your tool.
- Sort your pictures and put them in different folders, like Folder 1, Folder 2, Folder 3.
- Put these folders in a root folder.
- Drag the root folder into the SheetMaker window.
- Click on the "Make Sheet" button.
- The pictures in Folder 1 are in the first row, the pictures of Folder 2 in the second row, etc.
- Order of pictures and folder is determined by their names.

Also works with every other pictures, they don't neccessarily need transparency.

Interface meanings:
- Name Tags:        Never used it, so I don't know.
- Max Width:        Determines the maximum width. Example: If you put 10 in it, your resulting sheet will always have a width of 10 pixels.
                    The contents get squished to match this width, so it's pretty much useless. Leave it at 0 and you're fine.
- X Pad:            Very useful, it determines the space in pixels between each frame on the x axis. Use the value 2 and you're fine.
- Y Pad:            Same as X Pad, just for the y axis. The value 2 should deliver enough space between the frames.
- Fill Background:  Very useful, fills the background outside the frames with a certain colour.
- Fill Frames:      Fills the frames with a certain colour, but I don't know if it swallows transparent pixels. I wouldn't check it.
- Alignment:        Had no effect, at least not on my sheets.
- Even Spacing:     Same as Alignment.
- Make Sheet:       Creates a sprite sheet of the content of your folders, it shows up in the same directory as the .jar file.

I got it from Ploaj, who also made the Pocket Mortys sheets with it:
