A really amazing little program that allows you to pixel your low poly models without making any uv maps. You can find the thread for it here

Note: this is not my program and i take no credit for it, im simply sharing my find.

This is the sample scene provided with it and the map generated.

and i redid my little truck using it.

Oh this is quite cool, i remember it being a bit of a pain having to get the pixel perfect unwraps to work in Photoshop. So it generates UV's for you? Looks like you can also adjust them afterward, good for straightening out certain parts.

yup it also fully supports transparency.

heres the uv's for my truck (i only really did the part seen)

Gave this a try out, it's pretty awesome! sadly it warped some of the pixels down one side of my model to be really stretched, which was a shame. But overall its really useful, love that reference texture feature. The panning around objects gets a little time to get used to because there is no pan feature, just orbit!
