I've just pushed a new Blender add-on to Github, that creates meshes from images.

This add-on was inspired by the awesome CoaTools. CoaTools is an add-on for cut-out animation. The one feature I was missing most, was creating sprite meshes from images with transparency. In CoaTools you have to manually draw a polygon around the image, which then is turned into a mesh.

I wanted to automate this process. So io_image_as_mesh was born. With io_image_as_mesh you can import a bunch of PNGs with alpha transparency, and they will be turned into meshes that follow the contours of the images.

The add-on is available for free under the GPL.
