It is possible that the topic is not well placed in the forum, do not hesitate to place it where it is necessary. (THANKS)
I remember when I started with AM, I used to search the web for rotoscope images to use in AM, which wasn't easy to find.
Sometimes I had to render for each sides 3D objects, but it took a lot of time. Recently, I thought about creating a small Addon to simplify all of this,
and that's where this little addon for Blender comes into play :
The addon creates a folder where the files for AM rendering will be located. This folder will contain a .prj file, a model file, a preset file (.pre), and a subfolder with the rotoscope images.
In the addon, there are two buttons (rotoscope1.jpg):

  1.     The first button allows you to select a file from your hard drive to create a rotoscope from. You can choose a file with extensions such as .mdl, .obj, .stl, .lwo, .plh, .dxf, or .3ds. (I recommend placing this file in a folder as the created files will be placed alongside it.)
  2.     The second button allows you to select the model in Blender for which you want to create the rotoscopes. You can choose the location where the files will be created.

     In AM, open the .prj file and adjust (N and S key) (view : 4, 5, 6, 2, 5 and 0 key) the "Shortcut to Center" Null on your model by scaling it.(rotoscope2.jpg)
        Switch to the camera view (press the "1" key)(rotoscope3.jpg) and then select "Render to file."
        Choose a preset file by selecting "Load a preset file"(rotoscope4.jpg) and click the "OK" button to render.(rotoscope5.jpg)
        The 6 pictures will be rendered and linked with the rotoscope_(name of the model).mdl file. Save it, then close the .prj file.
        Open the rotoscope_(name of the model).mdl file, and your rotoscope will be ready.

    I tried to explain, if it's not clear, feel free to ask questions. The Blender addon is attached. Those who are familiar with Python can modify and improve it if they want to.
