Okay, this tool is serious overkill for sprite based games and you probably won’t really need it, but it seems that you can get Bryce 3D 5.5, a powerful 3D rendering tool, for free! It’s available for both Windows and MacOS.
Tools like this have a place in 2D game development, and that’s for creating pre-rendered sprites. Of course, most of them have a quite steep learning curve, and I don’t really know if it’s worth spending so much time on learning advanced applications when there are several much easier tools available. Might as well download it, you never know when it will come in handy!
