Can this program ideal for absolute 3d beginner(i never used Blender or another 3d program)? The fact that is tiny modelling program means it's more beginner-friendly but there's a lot of 3d technical words ... So tutorials could be neat ... Good vid by the way !😁👍

Unity & Unreal: 4k polys is considered low-poly. PicoCad -- hold my beer.

[@TurliTheCat]

hold my bit

[@椦彁]

hold my very high poly

[@kittyn5222]

Hold my chunk

[@SianaGearz]

I saw it on Twitter a while back and pretty much melted from cuteness

[@Polygonlin]

Honestly, this feels like a harder, slightly more complicated, yet somehow less complicated version of Blender, mixed with INTESE EYE STRAIN.

[@terrawest9500]

I'm following this project for months and it is so interesting and lovely. Thx for introduce it to us.

[@krukhlis]

Tiny gem. Thanks for discovery.

[@HE360]

I guess this is somewhat the 3D equivalent to Aesprite lol

[@d.h.k.c8113]

Asepoly. lol

[@Forcoy]

Seems like it

[@xeroxparc]

Aseprite is very powerful, this is more of a curiosity, imo crocotile 3d would be an more apropriate comparison

[@masnidebelicrnac]

@@xeroxparc Thanks for mentioning Crocotile, it seems cool and i should definitely try it out.

[@magicalcapi9148]

Isn't PICO8 extremely portable? If it is, all platforms supported by PICO8 basically got a 3D modeler. Time to model using that DIY smartwatch...

[@krevetka9744]

Made 3d model, extracted as gif of pixelled rotating model, broke that into frames and dropped into my 2d top down little project. Useful! Free 3d models for 2d pixel games.

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

Would be fun for a contest, to see who can make the most amazing objects with this editor 😊 Constraints breed creativity

[@springheeledjackofthegurdi2117]

looks like 3D models on DS

[@junimeme5626]

This video and software changed me as a man and has cured my clinical depression. Thank you.

[@DexysTakumi]

I think it would be useful to make games look like those early 3D PC games like Doom

[@BrainSlugs83]

I was just screwing with this a few days ago -- I really like the way 200 ~ 500 face models look -- unfortunately -- it's kind of a crappy modeler -- there's not an easy way to create faces with more than 4 points, or to create edge loops, etc. -- selecting interior faces is impossible as far as I can tell -- you have to use the arrows to rotate -- and the ".txt" file format is just bizarre (yes you can export but... who wants to go through all those extra steps...). -- Anyway, I'd love to use a tool that's like halfway between this and blender.

[@gamefromscratch]

Try Wings3d

[@magicalcapi9148]

OBJs, if I'm not mistaken, are basically text files as well. You can try open one with notepad. They just have a different extension. The author could/should just rename from .txt to something else, just to show that they aren't meant to be open this way.

[@itsasecrettoeverybody]

I like real new old-school hardware, but never got into the virtual hardware thing.

[@noiJadisCailleach]

Oh. looks like i haven't been here in a while. Finally. I was one of those who pestered Mike on twitter to cover this ever since it launched. LOL

[@mikolwski]

3d modelling software made cute :3

[@boiboi7717]

Would there be a way to export it to unity/blender while keeping that pixelated look?

[@josephdalessandro6360]

so freakin cool! I love this!

[@n30hrtgdv]

This looks so fun I regret not buying the itchio bundle that recently included it :'(

[@BrainSlugs83]

Ummm... it's free.

[@chaflem6333]

I think you're confused The recent itch.io bundle has a kinda similar thing called spritestack

[@noiJadisCailleach]

@@chaflem6333 Spritestack is abandonware though. Sadly.

[@CykPykMyk]

god damn it looks like it could've been used on a symbian phones easily XD i wonder if it can be ported to old 90s consoles, with joypad usage, that would be hella interesting!

[@p0kepanda462]

this one’s shaping up to be a classic

[@Maxschellenberg]

You said there isn't any use for this thing. But isn't it easier to model a car in this, then extract some pictures of it from different angles to use in a pixel game? That way you don't have to redraw the car 8 times for the different angles by hand.

[@dynaheart]

i might use this unironically someday

[@wardogdauwdd3020]

Could you do a video on how to transfer models to Godot ?

[@loremipsum3147]

Tiny lasagna tiny pizza

[@doodle8]

my Mac won't download picoCAD. it says it can't verify that its virus free. What do I do?

[@rewindcat7927]

That was really cool thanks!

[@kusog3]

Looks interesting

[@kusog3]

Oh, I remember checking this one before, but I never really delve in it

[@danddhampstudio]

To me it seems more n64 stylish

[@marsmotion]

can you import simple objs to the cad program?

[@noiJadisCailleach]

yes. There's a japanese guy who made a program to do just that. Kinda crude, but it works. Don't have the link on hand though. But it's easy to find, I'm sure.

[@jesusrocca]

anyone know where I can find free 3d models for picocad to play with?

[@SAckTheGoof]

* loughs in blender * (i think most of the people that use this are blender users)

[@yablock7346]

I dont use blender, but I use picoCAD

[@SAckTheGoof]

@@yablock7346 interesting

[@sunfishensunfishen2271]

I’m using this to make fanart

[@sf52785]

thank you!

[@blu3ntv]

Im having some problems, idk if im doing something wrong or what, but im using this program for a school project and when i add a texture that has black, picocad will show it as transparent instead. Please i need some help

[@DFX2KX]

Black is the Pico default transparency color. There is no way to change that sadly. probably late for you, but at least you know.

[@blu3ntv]

@@DFX2KX yeah i found out a long time ago, cheers for it anyways

[@Musically_Declined]

@@DFX2KX nope. You can change the transparent color in the alpha setting which is up by the background color

[@bafi29]

Blender, take notes! lol

[@sanicboom6443]

Zed is for people who like to say it wrong

[@Xikoora]

"or 'Zee' for those who like to say it wrong" I thought that was funny

[@HalkerVeil]

There is no D in Zee. Nor in Zeta it's origin.

[@Axenide]

Go Pico yeah yeah go Pico oh

[@mr_star75]

nice

[@Gaven7r]

looks cool haha!

[@PearlyMishima]

Thanks!!!

[@zalxw]

why do i have to pay five dollars for a lightweight 16 MB mini modeler

[@catconsumer]

Its kinda like source sdk

[@Ziplock9000]

Wow..

[@n9it]

Now this is meta.

[@caruya]

vertices...

[@dirtylaundrythemusic]

Sweet, now make us more old school type of games and save us from this poop games

[@green929392]

ZEE

[@firerun8599]

У меня глаза вытекли от таких жирных пикселей XD

[@theohallenius8882]

This would have been amazing... 20 years ago...
