> AI sprite-sheet pipeline for 2D game developers: upload one character image, generate an animation with AI, extract keyframes, and export a game-ready transparent sprite sheet for Unity, Godot, GameMaker or RPG Maker.

Background removal, the cutout editor, frame extraction and sheet assembly cost no credits; AI generation is paid (subscription or one-time credit packs). Scene part detection is free — credits are only spent on the parts you generate.

## Tools
- [Animation sprite sheet](https://genioplus.com/en/workspace/animation): turn one character image into an animated sprite sheet (idle, walk, slash, jump, cast, hit)
- [Character generation](https://genioplus.com/en/workspace/character): 8-direction / 45° isometric character sets from a description or a single image
- [Scene asset extraction](https://genioplus.com/en/workspace/scene): detect the buildings, props and trees inside a game scene and regenerate each as a standalone asset
- [Background remover](https://genioplus.com/en/workspace/bgremove): batch background removal in the browser, no credits spent
- [4K upscaler](https://genioplus.com/en/workspace/upscale): generative upscale that redraws detail rather than sharpening
- [Mesh cleanup](https://genioplus.com/en/workspace/retopo): quad retopology, decimation, UV unwrap and texture baking for a generated or scanned model, entirely in the browser, no credits
- [T-pose splitter](https://genioplus.com/en/workspace/tpose): redraw a character in T-pose and split its weapon, shield and gear into separate transparent PNGs, up to ten characters per run, ready for 3D reconstruction or 2D rigging
- [Image to 3D](https://genioplus.com/en/workspace/image-to-3d): turn one reference image into a textured GLB model (ByteDance Seed3D 2.0)
