Resources
Everything you need to create pixel art, sprites, and animations with AI. From model guides and workflow examples to platform policies — all in one place.
Getting Started
Introduction
What pixie.haus is, why generic AI fails at pixel art, and how our pipeline enforces true 1:1 grids and clean sprites.
Generator Setup
Configure the generator like an engineer: resolution grids, aspect ratio tricks, model-to-resolution matching, and your first production-ready sprite.
FAQ
Answers to common questions about pixie.haus — credits, models, payment, and getting the best results.
Features
Generate Pixel Art
The compute roster, advanced techniques, and prompt patterns for squeezing production-grade pixel art out of pixie.haus models.
Animate with AI
Turning static sprites into fluid motion: the I2V pipeline, spritesheet workflow, and which temporal models keep the grid intact.
Edit & Iterate
Using I2I to create asset tiers and equipment upgrades while maintaining consistency.
Upload
Simple Upload (algorithmic) vs. Generative Conversion (AI) for sketches and 3D renders.
Pixel Editor
Hotkeys, transparency checking (B key), and using "Programmer Art" to drive the AI.
Public Gallery
The XP economy, credit tipping, and the legal distinction between private and public rights.
Spritesheets
Timeline editing in the app, frame extraction, and engine-ready PNG exports.
