spritesheet generation

It's pretty easy to do this within Photoshop, however the recommend software would be Sprite Sheet Packer.

I hope this helps!

I like what Black-Rook posted. Very nice. Was going to post something else but that one is just amazing. I'll have to favorite that one.

Looks like a nice app Black-Rook definatly have to try that out.

For Photoshop, Gimp or something alike just setup a grid system and drag all your sprites in it. To setup a grid in PS you should go edit > preferences > unit and grid setup.

If you are on Mac I suggest you to use Sprite Master. It generates sprite sheets with your sprite images automatically and generates your sprite sheets possible smallest size with advanced algorithms (like MaxRects). It also generates output for coordinate data of your each sprite in the sheet.


You can take a look at YouTube video here.

Here is a screen shot of it:
