Render 3D objects to look like 2D sprite art, in real time.
ProPixelizer - Realtime 3D Pixel Art v1.8.2 offers a powerful and flexible solution for creating pixelated 3D effects in real time. The package enables developers to apply per-object pixelization, allowing individual 3D objects to be rendered with customizable pixel patterns up to 5x5 screen pixels in size. Each object can have its own outline — either block-colored or tinted — with support for both silhouette and normal-based outlines.
The effect is stable under orthographic projection, eliminating pixel creep. Realistic lighting and shadows are preserved, including shadows cast between pixelated and unpixelated objects. The system is fully compatible with ShaderGraph, featuring built-in nodes and an example ShaderGraph asset for easy integration.
Per-object color grading and dither patterns allow for a retro aesthetic, with a range of dither options or the ability to disable dithering. Editor tools are included to design custom dither patterns and color palettes. The package supports post-processing effects such as depth of field, bloom, and vignette.
WebGL is fully supported, with a demo available on itch.io. Unlike other pixelization effects, ProPixelizer maintains full screen resolution rendering, enabling smooth motion of pixelated objects without visual artifacts. This ensures seamless blending between pixelated and unpixelated elements and supports high-resolution post-processing.
The solution is optimized for use with low-poly 3D models, making it ideal for retro-style, pixel art-inspired games and environments. The latest update is available absolutely free.
