A highly requested feature is coming to #PixZels (v0.05): "A 1-click Export 3D button"

-Turn your #Pixelart into a 3D model instantly.

-Exports as OBJ.

-Fully textured, ready for your engine.

Note: (The final geometry generates a clean, #voxel-style 3D model).

For an Itch project that makes me crazy XD.

• The Problem: Creating correct 8 or 16-direction pixel art isometric sprites requires hours of tedious manual projection work. As a pixel artist, I've been there...
• The Solution: By converting 1, 2, or 3 basic orthographic images into a precise 3D pixelated model, it automates the entire process.
• The Result: Massive batches of pixel-perfect sprites generated in a matter of seconds.
• The reality: The results are not perfect... I need some time to clean up broken lines.

I've been working a lot of hours on this asset... So many good songs and a lot of bad ones... Also, I hear hundreds of hours of YouTube about the latest news, and now I know everything about politics. Ask me about it, but not about pixel art, please. XD

Will it finally hit the corner perfectly?

At this point... When already exist so many good #Pixelart programs... I do not know why I continue working with #Photoshop...

People will think I'm crazy to continue with this program that does not allow me to create an isometric straight line easily... But I spend a lot of hours painting on Photoshop and I enjoy it like it is... Is not the tool but the passion behind that creates the art... or I do not know...

I do hate Adobe do XD.

For my #Gamedev work, I developed some #isometric brushes that help my daily work.

Here I share my latest best brushes:

Sneak peek at the isometric PHC (Pixel Heat City) a modular pixelart city (WIP).

#Gamedev: When I need #isometric #pixelart, I use the #PixZels app... That saves me a lot of hours calculating perspective for isometric or 8-16-direction views. I just work 1, 2 or 3 orthographic images to create a precise 3D pixelart object.

-Attention #Isometric pixelartists:

#Pixelart math is weird! While 64x32 or 32x16 or 16x8 is a "perfect" power of 2 isometric tile size... Do not work well! :(..... It leaves 1 pixel gap or either overlaps tiles within the isometric grids....
-The secret or the solution? Use 64x31 or 32x15. That odd missing pixel allows tiles to lock together for a seamless perfect look.

I have been using Tiled (the tiles map program) for some years and I discover that this program overlap one pixel each tile on the top of each other if user ...

As pixel artists, we know the struggle: you’ve designed a perfect character or object, but now you need 8-direction or 16-direction rotations. Manually calculating isometric projections and top-down views takes hours of repetitive work. With Pixzels now by using just 1, 2, or 3 orthographic images (Front, Side, and Top), I can now generate a precise 3D pixelated model that delivers a large amount of professional, pixel-perfect sprites within seconds. :)
