I sent this out to @devMidgard in the discord server, I wasn’t sure how long it might take for him to answer my question
so here is the question from discord
I would like to know how you put sprites into a 3d editor
I have seen others say use this to put 2d sprites in the playcanvas 3d editor
https://developer.playcanvas.com/en/user-manual/user-interface/
but I am just not sure if that would work for a 2.5d shooter like doom or delver
here are the sprites I have made
https://github.com/Ambient-Technologies/game-assets
this is what I have been using to make sprites
Delver looks like a full 3D game with planes as sprites instead of 3D models
Doom is really a 3D shooter in today’s standards.
There’s various ways to add sprites. Ultimately it is just putting textures on a 3D plane. Some examples here:

There’s also the option to use Spline http://esotericsoftware.com/
Master Archer uses this: https://playcanv.as/p/JERg21J8/
@vaios has written an integration for that here: https://github.com/playcanvas/playcanvas-spine

We also have a sprite system in beta testing at the moment.
