Crocotile 3D - a new 3d modeling tool that acts like a 2d tilemap editor!

[Gil]

I'm waiting for this to mature a bit before tackling it. I think it's about time now

Thanks Theoden!
@Gil , I think it is at a pretty good state to begin creating some stuff with. The paint features really help a lot with planning the texture while you work if you don't have a finalized texture to use yet. If you decide to use it, feedback is much appreciated- I'm sure there are various things that could be improved still.
I'm working on adding some features to group tiles together to create objects/prefabs that you can drop into the scene, but I'm taking a short break at the moment. I'll probably have those features ready sometime in September.

Is there on-model texture painting yet?

Is there on-model texture painting yet?

Not currently.. It's something I'm interested in adding though once I think of a good way to handle it.

Crocotile 3D v1.2.0 is now available!
This version introduces new features that allow grouping tiles together into objects/prefabs. These can then be placed as instances into the scene, allow changes to one to be made to all instances. More details can be found in the howto documentation. Also, some bugs have been fixed- check the changelog for more info.
Here's a video showing me creating stairs using some of the new features.

also, whoever it was that replied recently, I was going to say thanks, but it appears your message was removed?

v.1.2.1 is now available!
Biggest change is the new keybinding system that allows more flexibility with key configuration, and should make additional features easier to implement. Also fixed some bugs and added other stuff, see below. There was also a 1.2.0b update that fixed an issue with loading scenes if you missed that.

Added: New keybinding system. Read help file for more information and also be sure to report any bugs or issues if you find any.
Added: Ability to rotate selection clockwise/counter-clockwise when holding Shift key and pressing Q,E.
Added: Hold space in tileset tab now allows panning of the tileset if zoomed in.
Added. Option to move crosshair to an object's origin point found in an object's menu when right-clicking an instance.
Added: Rename object points except for the origin.
Added: Subdivide tiles into columns and rows.
Added: Pixel resolution and window size can be configured in the settings.
Fixed: Sometimes applying a UV to an existing tile or copying the UV from a tile would accidentally draw or erase tiles if the mouse was dragged in the process.
Fixed: Moving the origin point of a prefab object would cause issues when rotating tiles immediately afterwards.
Added: Experimental normal map and height map image generation of prefab objects, accessed by right-clicking objects in the Scene tab.

You know that the itch.io page says that it's "free" and "name your own price" but the web page says you have to register for $10?

[AlexHW]

Yeah, I don't think I can change that since it's part of itch's system. I do mention on the itch page that you need to register at crocotile3d to activate save/exporting.. If people pay $10 on itch, I send a key to them manually- otherwise it's automatic through crocotile3d.com. Maybe I need to make that clearer..
It's free to download and test out before deciding if you want to register.

amazing program i love it It also easy to use just only need some practice.

[AlexHW]

Thanks TGHoly!

released another update!

v.1.2.3
Fixed: Program would become unresponsive and crash when quitting if new scene was created previously.
Fixed: Selecting vertices with the marquee would sometimes not work.
Fixed: Moving tiles that are a part of an object at the same time with tiles that are not a part of an object would move them in different directions.
Added: Crosshair arrows can now move Objects.
Added: Textures can now be double-sided by pressing number 9 on keyboard. This toggles double-sided mode on/off for the currently selected tileset. This is more of a temporary solution for those requesting the feature.

v.1.2.2
Fixed: Mouse wheel wasn't working for zooming.
Fixed: Resizing tileset would mess up UVs for objects.
Fixed: Object points would appear larger when using a lower resolution.
Added: Options to select/deselect all objects in the scene regardless of type. Accessed in the context-menu by right-clicking the 3d scene.
