Sprite Studio

Sprite Studio is a local-first, open-source desktop AI workbench for creating, animating, testing, organizing, and exporting 2D game art. It combines prompt- and reference-based generation with pixel-scale review, sprite viewing, animation planning, loop testing, rigging, deterministic rendering, and PNG sprite-sheet export with metadata.

Overview

For animation, the AI plans a complete motion sequence and generates frames sequentially using the source asset's identity and neighboring accepted frames. Its native Rust rig engine uses named joint, anchor, contact, and pivot points plus capsule bones; it assigns opaque pixels to bones, supports planted contacts through analytic two-bone inverse kinematics, and renders frames through bone transforms and nearest-neighbor inverse mapping without image generation. The resulting frames flow into asset organization, quality analysis, the playground, and exports.

The application runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux and is built with Tauri, Svelte, Rust, SQLite, and an installed Codex CLI. It is designed for local-first use and does not target Android or iOS.
