Heart free 3D model & sprite sheet

A puffy red heart that pulses gently, the universal sign for health. The model is a thick rounded plate with a soft rim, so it reads as a solid object rather than a flat shape, and the sprites show it swelling and settling in a calm loop that suits both a pickup and a health bar.

The heart starts as one outline. Its rounded rim is lofted from offset copies of that outline, and the halves are sliced from the very same outline, so every variant lines up exactly. Those variants live in the extras: an empty heart in dark iron and a half heart that is full on the left and empty on the right.

With the full, half and empty hearts you can build the classic row of health containers seen in action adventures and roguelikes. Use the pulsing full heart as a drop that restores health, then reuse still frames of all three for the HUD. The pulse is added by Pixor when it renders, not keyed in Blender.

As a pickup the heart is centred in its 32-pixel cell. To make a shield or mana meter instead, swap the red material for blue or gold and render again. It pairs well with the potion for a second kind of healing item.

Use it in your game

• Godot 4: godot/heart-selout-32.tres is a SpriteFrames resource with 8 animations (pulse_South, pulse_Southeast … pulse_Southwest): drop it on an AnimatedSprite2D and play pulse_South.
• Aseprite: aseprite/heart-selout-32.aseprite has a tag for each of those, 64 frames in all, to touch up by hand; its .json sits next to it.
• Unity, GameMaker and the rest: sprites/selout/heart-32px-8-sides.png has 8 rows of 32×32 px cells, one per action and side, South (front) first. A 4-side sheet and the 48 and 64 px sizes are next to it.
• Posts and devlogs: the GIFs above, also in the zip’s gifs/ folder.
• 3D: the GLB opens in Blender, Godot, Unity and three.js. The .blend keeps its modifiers, named parts and materials.
