3D pixel art editor using voxels

[bladum]

hi Folks,

I wonder if now community is large enough to get this editor and finish it. I can share sources (C#, pure .NET 3.5)

Don't ask, just release source code on github, post link here.

There:
https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming

And here:
https://opengameart.org/forums/art-discussion
https://forum.freegamedev.net/

Also some other sites about gamedev.

Maybe someone will pick it up and continue working on it. You never know.

The point is there should be a demand for such tool if anyone is going to supply its further development. I gave it up few years ago when open xcom was still in early version.

In case several people decide to create a "remake" of standard graphics for vanilla or some kind of "mod" using graphics made by this tool, then further development might have sense. In other case i see no point for further development as it just take resources without actual benefits.

Umm... so what do you have so far?

It sounds like it could be useful, I'm not much of a programmer so could mostly only help in testing functionality but would be interested in trying it out.

tile editor OLD = This is version 1.0 that works and has compatible data but no source code. Basically here you can edit a huge set of tiles at once and export them to png files.  (ONLY BINARY)

TreeD3D = This is version 2.* that works and has a lot more feature but has no data but with source code. This was single image editor with much more features but never was finished. (FULL SOURCE CODE) Source code is a mess but app in general is quite simple so anyone with C# skill should handle this.

PS: to refresh what could be the outcome here are example outputs

Wheat patches are looking not really pleasing with all these thick things. Otherwise it looks OK.
I think this "too thick" thing could be handled only with increasing x/y to 32x32.

I had an idea in mind of having "voxelized" model for each MCD, instead of LOFT. For FPS view LOFT renderings looks really awful.

you are right, this is a matter of resolution. In those samples from 2011 i think 16x16x24 was used to it was very low one. 32x32x48 could be used to get better results and still tile would be 32x48

i shared source code as i will not update this tool in the future due to no actual demand on it from you guys.
