You didn't say it was closed source and paid.

That's very cool how some people use Godot to build other software. Some of these things could become plugins for Godot.

[@brodriguez11000]

A common thing. Engines and frameworks are quite capable things.

[@vector6077]

Node based engines are phenomenal.

[@ollie-d]

This was actually the first thing I used Godot for. I used to be primarily an object pascal (Lazarus/Delphi) programmer and Godot instantly replaced them as my RAD tool

[@Deakcor]

Hey, thank you very much for the review ! The idea with 3D is to be able to import animated models and manage them in a 3D or 2D view. The advantage of importing 3D rather than importing images created with a 3D editor is that the application will have access to information to better manage the placement of colours and lines (like internal lines thanks to depth buffer for example).

[@cloudwolf3972]

I'm looking forward for this feature. Would be a perfect fit for a future project I'm planning to start.

[@juanjesusligero391]

It looks like a great app, congrats! :D Are you planning to release it on Steam? I like having my software there because of the auto-update functionality :)

[@noiJadisCailleach]

I'll wait for the steam release. Just because all of my tools are in there already. Will see how this one plays out.

[@Deakcor]

@@juanjesusligero391 thank you, yes I'll check to upload it on Steam.

[@juanjesusligero391]

@@Deakcor Oh, that's good news, thanks! :D A question, if I buy the software now on itchio, you will give later one Steam key to itchio buyers like me? (I know that itchio % revenue is better for devs, so I would prefer to buy it there to support you more ^_^)

[@ShiloBuff]

This looks like a really neat program! Shows the power of Godot to be extended into third party apps. Also you always do great at showcasing these new apps in brief time but detailed. Really like your style of reviews, thank you.

[@sherkhan_5050]

I was just learning pixel art. What a coincidence

[@canaldosoninho]

I have to be honest, i would love a game maker-like image editor in godot, it would make it so much easyer to edit out mistakes on my awful textures

[@RADZULAYXE]

TRUE

[@tristianzero3106]

There's no need, there's already plenty of pixel art tools like pixelorama, which is actually made on godot, or aseprite, which is the best pixel art tool.

[@dugtrioramen]

@@tristianzero3106 it's not very convenient to step out of the editor, find the file, wait for it to open, save it, and wait for it to reimport

[@RADZULAYXE]

@@tristianzero3106 dude i don't want to jump in from editor to editor and have to do tricky mess with saving the sprites

[@brodriguez11000]

@@dugtrioramen : That's where strong API support combined with universal data standards comes in handy.

[@ukrsolid]

Looking super promising! thanks for review!

[@AmazeAngeloGames]

Omg I love your reviews To Game Engines thanks Dude

[@alejmc]

This looks quite interesting, I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on it.

[@chaios]

I tried the demo to compare it to how Photoshop does indexed colors. PixelOver gives much better results without much tweaking. I'm sure I can get the same results in Photoshop if I do some adjustments, but it's pretty tedious. Good program, might get it later.

[@wulver810]

Picked it up, looks like it may help with some classes and game jams.

[@ReloadedK]

I'd love if the godot devs made an official sprite editor extension. Useful, optional and properly made

[@NymezWoW]

They should focus on getting all current work in progress features over the finish line. It feels like they are already working on more stuff than they can handle.

[@C-CW]

If you have any idea, you can write a proposal and open as an issue on the Godot GitHub repo. If there are enough poeple interested in this, maybe some contributors will pick it up, or core team will do after the higher priority tasks are done.

[@skellious]

Excellent.

[@jp3d911]

Such a usefull tool !

[@tristianzero3106]

I recommend this tool after trying it on Blender renders. I tricked some friends thinking my low res blender render were human made pixel art. :D

[@tristianzero3106]

@@rafaelzigoshi The tool is very easy to use, just export a blender 3D render into pixelover and check the indexed pallethe button and the dithering button.

[@MangaGamified]

@@tristianzero3106 What do u think of Smack Studio?

[@palen3388]

just bought it and it might be great for post processing.

[@MusicalSkele-]

i might use this for my art

[@davidjohnhamm]

check out heavypaint. it’s very good. also made in godot

[@snesmocha]

interesting

[@malawisupasoldier7478]

I wonder if one day we'll get a music software made using godot

[@SpensPens]

i got this software for the pixel rendering features like shaders and such but it might be a good live2d alternative o.o also the "do do" joke killed me

[@ProrokLebioda]

Use of Warhammer 40K model picture made me chuckle! That tool seems amazing. I understand why the free version doesn't allow exports, but it's a shame (I get it: noone would buy it).

[@MangaGamified]

Pros and cons between Smack Studio and PixelOver?

[@michaelzrealtime1551]

Nicee

[@leeh5948]

Is there a way to make the picture look 32/16/8 bit style?

[@lerusius]

I see Warhammer, I like

[@RADZULAYXE]

it looks a bit confusing but whatever this looks awesome

[@aaronwise1089]

Awesome tool, but just how expensive is it?

[@dejiko]

So like Pixelorama?

[@Flackon]

Can pixelorama let you pixel over a higher res image? I couldn’t find the tool to do that

[@echoptic775]

This would be great to be implented into godot since...

[@RossHadden]

I see what they did there. "Pixel lover"

[@dugtrioramen]

I think it's pixel over. It goes over the image and applies pixel transformations over it

[@brodriguez11000]

Hey hey, get a room. :-p

[@juanjesusligero391]

I didn't realize that! XD A nice play on words, thanks for pointing it out! :)

[@exspiravit_1104]

omg

[@amdvsias]

would be really sick if u showed how to use the bone feature, why show off how to use the program if u dont know how to use it... thx for wasted time man

[@bighittergames4133]

Anyone know of a pixelating software that actually pixelates images? I'm sorry I wasted money on this software.

[@dArtistGames]

Its a cool software, but since it isnt available for free, i dont know what i can do with this.

you had me until you mispronounced 'gif' as 'guh-iff' when we ALL know it's 'jiff'. You aren't one of those crazy people who put pineapple on your pizza too are you? ;)

Yes, I am Canadian.

[@dugtrioramen]

Milk before cereal 😞

[@Megalomaniakaal]

no it's kiff

[@Flackon]

Hard g is the correct pronunciation And nothing crazy about pineapple on pizza unless you have some weird authoritarian hangups. It’s pretty well know in many cuisines that pineapple gives an umami quality mixed with certain meats

[@artmanstudios7037]

If is not open source then it's just another trash.

[@Flackon]

Plenty of great software that isn’t open source...
