Start Creating Sprite Animations Today

Generate unique sprites from text, bring them to life with AI-powered animation, and export game-ready sprite sheets in seconds. Create characters, items, and effects for your 2D games faster than ever.

You can generate animations for **characters, creatures, items, objects, UI elements** and **VFX** (special effects). The tool supports creating these **from scratch** using **text** prompts or by **uploading** your own static images to be animated.

What game assets can I generate animations for?

Yes. The tool uses a specialized "Pose Editor" and keyframe system to ensure that characters retain their **proportions, style****, and **details** across different frames and animations. It also offers specific style filters (like Pixel Art) to maintain a **cohesive look**.

Does the tool keep object permanence and style consistency?

Animations can have a maximum of **3 seconds**. The exported spritesheet can have **up to 64 frames**, with each individual frame **up to 512x512** pixels resolution.

How many frames do the animations have? At what resolution?

You can generate and animate sprites in **any art style**. From retro pixel art with large pixels, to highly detailed cel-shaded art with fine lines, and anything in between. The animations will strictly follow the art style of the image you upload. And if you generate your sprite with Ludo, we offer a vast number of art styles for you to choose from.

What are the supported art styles?

**Minimal to none**. Most sprites are generated with transparent backgrounds and are ready to drop directly into game engines. For more complex animations you may want to generate multiple versions and choose the best one. You can also **download** the **individual frames **in a zip file, or download a **video/GIF** of the animation.

How much manual cleanup is required after generation?

The free trial includes **30 credits**, which allows you to create approximately **3 to 6 animations** depending on your workflow.
**6 Animations** if you upload your own existing art and use the "Animate Sprite" feature (5 credits per animation).
**~5 Animations **if you generate a new static sprite from scratch (0.5 credits) and then animate it (5 credits).

How many animations can I generate during the free trial?

Yes. The tool is designed to produce **high-quality, professional** 2D assets suitable for **indie and commercial games**. It automates complex animation processes (like walk cycles or attacks) that usually require manual keyframing. We have **thousands** of users are actively importing Ludo spritesheets directly into their game.

Does it generate professional quality animations?

Minutes. The workflow is designed to be intuitive:
1) Describe/Upload,
2) Animate with a text prompt,
3) Export.
No prior artistic or animation skills are required.
Our technology rarely more than a few tries to get it right.

How long will it take me to be proficient with the tool?

Yes. In addition to the Enterprise plan, we offer a dedicated **Developer Tools & Integration** option for users building on top of the platform. This provides API access for custom integrations and MCP (Model Context Protocol) support for AI workflows. Please **contact us** for more information.

Does the tool offer a stable and affordable API for large-scale production?

The standard output is a perfectly formatted, **transparent PNG** sprite sheet.

What's the output file type?

Very easy. You can export animations as sprite sheets with **customizable frame counts, layouts, and sizes** in just a few clicks. These files are designed for a seamless "drop-in" experience for engines like Unity, Unreal, Godot, and GameMaker.

How easy is it to export the animation frames into a game-engine-ready sprite sheet?

Yes, absolutely. The Sprite Generator has an "Animate Sprite" tab specifically designed for this. You can **upload** your own existing character art (static images) and then use a text prompt to describe the motion you want (e.g., "walk cycle," "attack," "jump"). The AI will animate your drawing and generate a sprite sheet for you.
For the best results, it is recommended to upload an image that contains **only the sprite**, although the tool can automatically remove backgrounds.

Is it possible to upload characters that I have already drawn and animate them?

Go from a still image to a moving character by typing simple commands like "run cycle," "idle," or "sword attack." Animate objects to build dynamic worlds. Our AI automates the complex animation process, so you can generate sprite animations for your games without manual keyframing.

Generate and Animate Custom Sprites and Sprite Sheets for Your Games

Whether you’re prototyping, pitching, or exploring visual directions, the Image Generator helps you instantly visualize your ideas and build a rich creative reference library.

Start Visualizing Your Game Today

Bring your game world to life with Ludo.ai's Image Generator. Create stunning concept art, UI elements, textures, sprites, and more with simple text prompts or reference images. Experiment with art styles and find the perfect aesthetic for your game.

It produces a wide range of game visuals from a single prompt: concept art, gameplay mockups, icons, sprites, sprite VFX, assets, backgrounds, textures, and UI elements. It's built for prototyping, pitching, and building a visual reference library for your game.

What can I create with Ludo.ai's Image Generator?

Yes. The integrated editor goes well beyond generation. Use Smart Edit for broad changes, Inpaint with Mask to replace, edit, or erase specific areas, change an image's style, colors, or camera view, and remove backgrounds - all without leaving Ludo.

Can I edit images after generating them?

You can generate in 20+ predefined art styles, from retro pixel looks and anime to hand-painted, watercolor, low poly, voxel, comic book, and photorealistic styles - so you can match your game's aesthetic from the start.

What art styles are available?

Yes. Upload a reference image and create new visuals that adopt its style, its subject, or both, or re-imagine it into something new. This keeps generated assets visually consistent with art you already have.

Can I generate images from a reference image?

Yes. The Remove Background action isolates your subject on a transparent background, and finished images export as PNGs - ideal for sprites, icons, and assets you need to layer over other artwork.

Does it support transparent backgrounds?

You can choose from several aspect ratios - including 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, and portrait formats like 3:4 and 9:16 - or let Ludo pick one automatically based on the image type.

What aspect ratios can I generate?

Yes. Image generation, editing, background removal, and style-matched generation are all available through the Ludo API and MCP server, so you can wire them into your own tools and pipelines.

Is the Image Generator available via API or MCP?

Pick a generation mode - generate new, from a reference image, or edit - choose an image type like art, sprite, icon, or background, and describe what you want.

Choose a Mode & Prompt

Ludo.ai generates image variations. Use the integrated editor to inpaint with a mask, change the style, colors, or view, erase objects, or remove the background.

Bring Your Vision to Life with Ludo.ai’s Image Generator

Experience the fastest way to get game-ready 3D assets. Sign up now and start building your library of AI-generated models.

Start Generating 3D Models Today

Generate and download 3D models in multiple formats. Use descriptive text prompts, and create unique 3D models of characters, items, and other objects, without any modeling.

It's an AI tool that creates **game-ready 3D models** from a text description, a 2D image, or an existing model. It supports three modes - **Text-to-3D**, **Image-to-3D**, and **Texture Generation** - so you can generate, convert, or re-texture assets without any 3D modeling experience.

What is the Ludo 3D Asset Generator?

Yes. The **Image-to-3D** mode converts a single 2D reference image of a character, prop, or piece of concept art into a textured 3D model. You can also start purely from a **text prompt** with Text-to-3D, or describe the texture you want for an existing mesh.

Can I turn a 2D image into a 3D model?

You can download models as **GLB** (which includes the textures), or as **OBJ**, **STL**, **PLY**, and **OFF** (geometry only, without textures). GLB is the recommended format for dropping a fully textured asset into a game engine.

What file formats can I export 3D models in?

For the Texture Generation mode you can upload your own model in **OBJ, PLY, STL, OFF, GLTF, GLB, FBX, 3DS, DAE, CTM, or X3D** format, up to **20 MB**. The file should contain only the subject you want to texture.

What 3D file formats can I upload to re-texture?

Yes. Advanced settings let you set a **max triangle count** from 1,000 up to 200,000 (default 50,000) and an **adaptive decimation** level that simplifies the mesh without losing detail. You can also choose a texture resolution of **1024** or **2048**, and a texture type of **PBR**, **Color**, or **None**.

Can I control the polygon count and texture quality?

Yes. The **Optimize Model** tool re-topologizes a mesh to your target triangle count and texture resolution for better in-engine performance, and **Re-texture** generates fresh AI textures for a model you generated in Ludo or uploaded yourself.

Can I optimize or re-texture a model I already generated?

Yes. The **create3DModel** tool is available through the Ludo API and the **Ludo MCP server**, converting a 2D image into a GLB model with PBR textures. It returns a model URL plus snapshot images, costs **3 credits** per model, and typically completes in **60-120 seconds**.

Is the 3D generator available through an API or MCP?

**No.** The generator handles meshing, texturing, and optimization automatically from your prompt or image. You preview the result in an interactive 3D viewer and export a ready-to-use file, with no sculpting, retopology, or UV-mapping skills required.

Do I need 3D modeling experience to use it?

Pick a mode: write a text prompt for Text-to-3D, upload a 2D reference image for Image-to-3D, or select an existing model to re-texture.

Choose Your Input

The AI builds a textured 3D mesh from your input, which you preview instantly in an interactive viewer with PBR textures applied.

Generate the Model

Set max triangle count and texture resolution, optimize the mesh, then download as GLB with textures or as OBJ, STL, PLY, or OFF.

AI-Powered 3D Asset Generator for Game Developers

Populate your game world with professional audio assets. Sign up to start generating music, SFX, and voice acting today.

Complete Your Game’s Soundscape

Generate studio-quality game sound effects, music, and voice acting assets with AI. Create specific SFX from a text description, compose loopable music tracks and ambiances, and design unique human or monster voices for your game characters.

The Audio Generator covers the full soundscape of a game: **sound effects** (combat, UI, movement, magic), **music** in any genre or mood, **character voices** (human and non-human), **narrated speech**, and **seamless looping ambiances** for your levels. Each mode is driven by a simple text description.

What kinds of game audio can I generate?

Yes. You can generate instrumental tracks in any genre, or bring your own **lyrics** and have the AI compose a full track with vocals around them.

Can the music include vocals or my own lyrics?

Yes. Both **ambiance soundscapes** (forests, cities, underwater levels) and **sound effects** (footsteps, crackling fire, magical incantations) can be generated as **seamless loops**, ready to attach to levels or sprites in your engine.

Can I create looping sound effects and ambiance tracks?

Design a voice once by describing the persona - or generate one you like - then **clone it** to produce any number of new dialogue lines with the same voice. This works for human characters as well as monsters, robots, and other non-human voices.

How do I keep a character's voice consistent across many lines?

Generated audio downloads as **MP3**. Sound effects run up to about **10 seconds**, music and ambiance durations are chosen automatically or set manually, and audio remixes can run from **10 up to 180 seconds**. Everything is ready to import directly into your game engine.

What audio format do I get and how long can clips be?

Yes. The **preset voices** turn text into speech with control over **emotion** (happy, sad, angry, fearful, surprised, neutral) and a range of **languages** including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Korean. You can also clone a voice from your own audio sample for fully custom narration.

Can I generate speech in different languages and emotions?

Yes. With **audio transform**, upload an existing track and guide it with a text prompt - for example "make it sound like an 80s synthwave track" - controlling how strongly the original is modified. It's a fast way to restyle music or create variations of a theme.

Can I remix or restyle audio I already have?

Yes. Every audio mode - sound effects, ambiance, music, voices, speech, and audio transform - is available through the **Ludo API** and the **Ludo MCP server**, so you can generate game audio programmatically or directly from AI coding tools like Claude.

Can I generate audio through an API or MCP?

Choose sound effects, music, ambiance, a character voice, or text-to-speech, then write a plain-text description, dialogue line, or set of lyrics. Music tracks can include your own lyrics, and voices can be human or non-human.

Pick a mode and describe the sound

The AI synthesizes the asset from your prompt. Tune the result by adjusting the description and duration, cloning a voice you like for consistent dialogue, or remixing an existing track with a transform prompt.

Generate and refine

Listen to the preview and download the finished MP3, ready to drop into Unity, Godot, or any game engine. Sound effects and ambiances can be generated as seamless loops.

Bring a new dimension to your creative process. Sign up to start generating dynamic videos from your text and images.

See Your Ideas in Motion

Bring your ideas to life with Ludo.ai's Video Generator. Go from a text prompt or static image to a short, animated clip in seconds. It’s the perfect tool for visualizing gameplay, animating assets, and creating eye-catching content for your game.

Two modes. **Text to Video** generates a clip from a written prompt alone, while **Image to Video** animates a source image (uploaded or generated in Ludo) guided by a **motion prompt** describing the action or camera movement. You can also set a **custom final frame** so the AI interpolates between your start and end images.

What inputs does the Video Generator accept?

Clips are short and the available durations depend on the model. The Blitz model supports **2 to 12 seconds**, while the Eagle models go from **1 up to 15 seconds**. You pick the exact duration before generating.

How long can the videos be?

Videos are produced as standard **MP4** files that you can download and drop straight into trailers, social posts, or prototypes. Each result returns a video URL and its duration in seconds.

What format is the output?

Yes. After generating a clip you can create **AI sound effects or music** that match the video from a text prompt. One model, **Eagle with Audio**, generates video with a native audio track directly.

Can I add sound to my video?

Ludo offers several video models with different trade-offs: **Blitz** (Seedance 1 Pro) favors motion stability, **Eagle** (Pixverse 6) favors visual quality, **Eagle with Audio** adds a native audio track, and **Chaos** (Seedance 1.5) is a lower-cost option. Each model exposes its own set of valid durations.

Which AI models can I choose from?

The generator is built for game creators: visualize gameplay concepts, animate characters and scenes, produce dynamic **marketing content** and trailers, or quickly prototype motion ideas from a single image or prompt.

What can I use the videos for?

Video is priced per second and varies by model - roughly **1 credit per second** on the standard Blitz model, with higher-quality and audio-enabled models costing more per second. You are billed for the actual produced duration, never more than the duration you requested.

How much does video generation cost?

Yes. Video generation is exposed through the Ludo **public API** and the **MCP** server via the `createVideo` tool (with `getVideoResults` to retrieve results later). This lets you generate clips programmatically from an image and motion prompt inside automated or AI workflows.

Is the Video Generator available via API or MCP?

Use Text to Video to generate a clip from a prompt, or Image to Video to animate an existing picture - and refine that starting frame in the built-in image editor first.

Start with text or an image

Write a motion prompt like "camera slowly zooms in" or "character waves", optionally set a custom final frame to control how the clip ends, and the AI generates the animation.

Describe the motion

Generate matching sound effects or music for the clip, then download the finished MP4 video.

The Project tool is an **AI-powered Game Design Document (GDD) editor**. Instead of a static text file, it's a structured workspace where you flesh out your game's mechanics, story, characters, and art section by section - with AI suggestions and generated assets built right into the document.

What is the Project tool in Ludo.ai?

Yes. You can generate and embed **images, sprites, 3D models, audio, and video** directly within your document. Each section has its own "Suggestions" controls, so concept art, gameplay mockups, and assets live alongside the design text instead of in a separate tool.

Can I generate game assets directly inside a project?

Yes. You can import a concept from **plain text**, an **existing PDF**, or by referencing a **real game** from Ludo's database. Ludo parses your input and turns it into a structured GDD you can edit and expand. You can also start a project instantly from a concept in the **Game Ideator**.

Can I import an existing idea or document?

Yes. You can export the full document as a **professional PDF**, formatted with your text, images, and embedded assets - ready to share with collaborators, publishers, or your team.

Can I export my game design document?

Yes. Beyond planning, the Project tool can generate **step-by-step development guides** tailored to your concept for engines including **Unity, Godot, Unreal, Roblox, Cocos2d-x, Buildbox, and Solar2D**, with beginner and advanced tracks. It can also generate engine scripts (such as Unity C#) based on your project.

Does it help me actually build the game?

"Ask Ludo" is a **contextual AI assistant** built into the document. It understands the specific section, element, and game you're working on, so you can request feedback, brainstorm alternatives, or refine ideas without leaving your project. Your chat history is preserved as you work.

What is "Ask Ludo"?

Create your game's blueprint with an AI-powered co-writer that helps you structure and generate ideas for mechanics, story, characters, and more - all in one flexible workspace.
