When it comings to drawing, whether it be sketches or pixel art, there's a LOT I lack in terms of skill. But when it comes to 3d modeling, I have much more experience with regards to creating bodies, animations, etc.. So I'm wondering, is it possible to use images of 3D models to create sprites used in 2d games? And if so, would anyone happen to know the method one would take to go about this?

Hi PsychoMuffin

Maybe what you are looking for is the Sprite Me & Model 2 Sprite programs TGC have produced.
See

Hope this helps

Or just render your 3D models.

I use Blender for this. Make the model, set up the animation, then render the animation to frames. Pack into a sprite sheet and boom! Best utility I've found for packing sprite sheets is Texture Packer. I've tried tons of PS scripts and GIMP scripts, but they all stink, don't let you define max size, cols/rows, etc.
