[Addon] Animation Automaton Renderer - Sprite rendering - v1.2.2

Coding Released Scripts and Themes
#1

This add-on automates rendering sprite animation by setting proper frame, rotating main object in specified directions and saves rendered frames in folder structure: save_path / animation_folder_name / direction_folder_name (if there is more than one enabled directions) / frame_name. Also it have option to preview animation by cycling through frames defined for it. Should work with any renderer (tested with Blender Render and Cycles).

Thanks! :smiley:

You mean autocrop each image separately or all images to same size?
