SPRyTILE -- Blender TileMap Editor

[@nilsmuller-cleve6769]

I'm way more comfortable creating geometry in blender than with probuilder in Unity. Guess I found my new tool to prototype and make game jam levels. Thanks a lot!

[@kirillbrodski]

Yeah I usually block out in Probuilder to get the rough dimensions right, and then export to Blender for the rest.

[@pixel-ink]

I tried this in B 2.92.. works great, no crashing. Seema very stable and kind of cool for this stylized look.

[@SampoPesonen]

For sure my absolute favorite addon for Blender! \o/

[@rewindcat7927]

Do you get lots of crashes?

[@SampoPesonen]

@@rewindcat7927 Sometimes, but I am still using the Blender 2.79 (my gpu doesnt support the newer blender) and the last update of Sprytile that was made for it. I would say its pretty stable.

[@gytiskau1865]

Didn't knew I wanted a TileMap Editor in Blender until I saw one, nice

[@chronodecker6920]

Thanks for showing this tool! It looks very interesting and I will probably give it a try. Looks like a great add-on.

360p? thanks google

[@Abacoot]

Thank you for making this and explaining how it works. Other videos don’t seem to quite grasp how it actually works lol

[@wailfulcrab]

More flexible than Crocotile and its free, nice.

[@ryonagana]

now i can create playstation 1 RPG games style (vagrant story, legend of legaia)

[@RedRamekRaze7]

Let me know when you get started

[@Carlosdejuan1]

I'm going for that myself. I have a programmer too. If you're not working on it, let me know if you're interested in joining us?

Cool beans! Thanks! I do hope they stabilize it soon!

[@makanansari144]

This is really cool! I love to use it!

[@superscatboy]

Is there a sucessful game that's used this method of modelling? It seems to be quite a popular concept right now, and I'm wondering if there was a "patient zero", like when Minecraft appeared and everyone wanted to make everything from cubes for a while.

[@d3v1lsummoner]

You have a list of new games that are like this (and I don't mean the sort of low poly that has limited textures like you see on asset stores)? There have been low fidelity type indie games since the 2000s so I'm wondering what you have in mind exactly. I do know there have been some low-fi retro fps recently.

[@superscatboy]

@@d3v1lsummoner I'm not just talking about low-poly games, I specifically mean a game where the assets are constructed from 3D tilesets like this method of construction provides. It has very well defined behaviour and constraints, so it shouldn't be too hard to spot in the wild, but I can't say I've ever seen it. I was wondering if there was a specific game that championed and popularised this exact method (not just the low-poly method that's as old as 3D gaming itself).

[@d3v1lsummoner]

@@superscatboy I think there's a 3D JRPG engine that does environment tiles but I don't find it much. I guess I'd have to see what you're talking about. When I think of Crocotile and Sprytile I think more of using it for ps1 Megaman Legends-esque texturing.

[@Uradamus]

Back during the original Playstation era there was a lot of 3D games with content that could have easily been assembled using something like Crocotile or this. I doubt any of them actually did this workflow before, as I think Croctile might have been the first to put out such an editor, but it probably wasn't too far off. I've been ripping map tiles from the original Mega Man Legends game for a while now, and I'm been more than a little tempted to mess around with remaking them in Crocotile, but I've been using Blender so long now, I can definitely do things quicker in that (even without Sprytile), so it's hard to switch, even though the desire is constantly there because it seems like such a good fit, heh. They basically used a grid based map layout with tiles that had sides that are multiples of the default grid unit length. The tiles are rather low poly and mostly just a small handful of planes with sub-textures from an atlas applied to them. One thing you will run into these days though, is that most engines don't like cleanly rendering mipmaps for texture atlases, I know Godot in particular makes a huge mess of them (even with precise hand made mipmaps in a .dds). Unreal is about the only one I've come across examples that worked, but even then it took a fair bit of shader black magic to pull it off, and you are stuck with the massive overhead of the unreal editor, which feels like using a tank to hunt for squirrels when it comes to making low poly retro style games.

[@EmoryM]

Fez?

[@D0NU75]

oh nice, i got crocotile not long ago thinking sprytile was long abandoned. i had some bucks to spare and i was meaning to give them to Sprytile but i had to make a choice: Giving my money to a product actively being developed and compatible with 2.8 (crocotile) Giving my money to an outdated but charming product that has no warranties to work out of the box (sprytile) I wish i had more money on me to get both, or particularly to give Sprytile what it deserves but kickstarter has taught me well not to buy promises

[@DaffyDuckTheWizzard]

You're aware of the fact Sprytile is a free and open-source add-on for Blender, right? Just download it and support the dev later if you're invested in It

[@UrsaFrank]

@@xelad3362 crocotile3d.com/ on the right of the web page is a link to the change log ( www.crocotile3d.com/changelog.txt ). Its getting updated multiple times a month so it's very much still in active development

[@loli42]

this whole comment makes no sense

[@D0NU75]

i meant that sprytile was the one no longer developed, someone was patching it to work with 2.8 but when i tested it, it did nothing and the ui was kind of broken, more so than in this video. so instead of donating to sprytile, i bought crocotile which is constantly maintained.

[@nialltracey2599]

Caio Santos yes but what he was wanting was to pay for future development not for what's been done so far. He's saying that if he'd known this was still being worked on, he'd have paid to encourage dither development.

[@-Blender]

Very interesting. I am going to have to try this out. Thank you!!! 👏 👏 👏

[@pacman10182]

it's now available in 1080...

[@joshaklese4969]

...wanted that retro effect to go with the art style. Actually KZbin is being glitchy today. Stats are also showing I published the video 10 minutes before I did....

[@WimiBussard]

[@nialltracey2599]

Think yourself lucky -- I was getting everything in 240 last night...!

[@octosalias5785]

I hope it gets some stability, Ive only used 2.79 but it stops working if I use it longer than 10 minutes and really hates any big changes.

[@tciddados]

I'm a little sad this appears to only be for on-axis cube-like editing. With the preview picture of the house, I was hoping that it could also store 3d building blocks like the slanted roof+staircase, so that you could build geometries from 1x1x1 cube "tiles". This is still pretty neat, though.

[@creativemind42069]

You can so such complex geometries If you get gar Info sprytile and put alot of work Info it

[@srspanksalot4501]

Downgrade to 2.8 or use blockbench 🤔

[@remie07]

It is sad that this doesnt have much attention, i like pixel graphics and stuff like the game The Last Night damn i wanna render like that in blender

[@RyoMassaki]

Then just go for it.

[@simoncodrington]

This video only comes up in 360p for me mate? That intentional?

[@nerdtothethird9246]

If they get the code a little less crashy, might make a nice quick tool to make random machinery/sci-fi ship parts or rooms, with creative use of textures arranged in a tilemap. If nothing else, to quick prototype an idea before you take the time to detail model it. Anyone looked at the code for possible reasons of crashes?

this is not working on any blender version i have tried.

[@adamlintner259]

hello, im working with this addon for some time and i still havent figerd out how to create mesh collider in unity without using solidify. Solidify messes with full geometry and create clipping on edges. Does anybody know how to create efficient colliders in unty from this addon? Thanks

[@TheEXmasterwrecker]

what if i just want to create a large plane with the texture repeating in blender?

Is it better than Crocotile? I wonder, do I need Croc if I had this...

[@CyberWolf755]

crisp 360p quality 👌

[@emoneydatruth1]

I downloaded this yesterday and I get a crash every time I place one tile. Is this still working for blender? How do I get rid of that bug.

[@0821-d4r]

Did you ever find a solutuion?

[@rekkimaru7]

Sprytile wasn't updated in a long time but it works perfectly with Blender 2.8 and 2.9 . I always use a separate version of Blender when using Sprytile cause it crashes on the new ones.

[@BrainSlugs83]

I don't know about anybody else but KZbin is telling me that the only option for this video is 360p on both my cell phone and on my TV... and on my PC. -- Can you please upload a higher resolution version? 😟

[@gamefromscratch]

I did, KZbin broke. Not sure if they will allow a reupload.

[@maynk7096]

There's a problem when I port the models into Godot. Walls are visible from only one side , it's invisible from the opposite side .

[@gamefromscratch]

There is a setting to enable double sided

[@Uradamus]

You might run into other problems with Godot, particularly if you decide to enable mipmapping, since Godot is trash when it comes to mipmapped texture atlases, and they seem to have no desire to fix the related issues, or at least they haven't in the last year or so that I've been bringing them up...

You know what really sucks? Nobody fixed 1 pixel non-aa brush in the blender image editor, it still acts like 2 pixels, so you can't make pixel art in blender real time

[@morganlak4337]

I rebuilt my blender from source to fix this actually, there's a branch someone made with changes and they're fairly simple, but super hacky which is why it was never merged with the main branch. It sucks it's just really bad planning from the blender team that caused this and they refuse to fix it because it's not a bug it's working "as intended"
