Turn any 3D model into clean 2D sprites directly inside Unity. KS SnapStudio captures Play Mode animations, physics, VFX, lighting, and post-processing exactly as they appear in your game.

Perfect for 2D action games, RPGs, Metroidvania, HD-2D styles, marketing assets, and asset-store creators. Full Source Code Included.

🎯 Why KS SnapStudio?

Most sprite capture tools only work in Edit Mode, which means you lose:

✖ Jiggle bones
✖ Cloth physics
✖ Post-processing
✖ VFX
✖ Script-driven animation behavior

KS SnapStudio captures EVERYTHING in Play Mode, giving you:

✅ Cloth, hair, and jiggle physics
✅ Full post-processing & screen effects
✅ Lighting, shadows, HDR
✅ VFX & particle systems
✅ Script-controlled animation curves
✅ True gameplay-accurate motion

Your sprites look exactly like your in-game character.
