Crocotile 3D News

v1.9.1b

v.1.9.1b (July 5, 2022)

Fixed: When undoing/redoing, the canvas in the Painting panel would resize incorrectly, and would cause some actions to not be undoable.

v.1.9.1 (July 4, 2022)

Improved: The tileset canvas areas now have margin space surrounding them. You can specify the size of the margin in the Edit > Settings > Tileset > Margin Size.
Changed: Ctrl+A will now also select vertices of any edges that are currently selected.
Fixed: Auto-refreshing tilesets regression. Should work properly now.
Fixed: Adding/creating huge tileset images would cause program to crash or cause tileset issues. Tilesets are now limited to 4096x4096 pixels by default. You can the default in the Edit > Settings > Tileset > Max Dimensions, however it could cause issues if your hardware can't support a large size.

Remember to report any bugs you may encounter!

v1.9.0b

v.1.9.0b (June 26, 2022)

Fixed: If the user specified any default tilesets to load into new scenes, the program would fail to load.

v.1.9.0 (June 26, 2022)

Improved: The "Select Tileset" button at the top of the Tileset/UVs panel now toggles a Tileset List that is more useful.
Added: With the improved display of tilesets, you can now reorder them by clicking and dragging the tilesets in the Tileset List.
Fixed: Tilesets wouldn't refresh when making changes to them outside the program (if auto-refresh was enabled, or if manually refreshing). This was due to the filepath not being stored correctly. Users will have to replace the tilesets in their existing projects so that the tilesets store the correct filepaths. Afterwards, it should work fine.

v1.8.9

v.1.8.9 (June 15, 2022)

Added: Export Grid Map data. Useful for defining cells in a 3d grid for collisions or similar cases. A Godot project example can be downloaded that demonstrates its use. Check documentation for more information.
Added: Key bindings for cycling through Prefab objects while in draw mode. Shift+[ and Shift+] to cycle through the list. Must have a prefab selected in the Scene panel first.
Added: A new "Merge Edges" action. This will take two tiles that share an edge and combine them into one tile. Select an edge and then right-click to open the Edit mode context menu > Edges > Merge Edges. The safe action will only merge them if their UVs match.
Added: New setting to show entire tileset in the Painting panel regardless of the selected area in the tileset. To enable, go to Edit > Settings > Tilesets > Show entire Tileset in Painting panel.
Added: New setting to auto-reverse faces when mirroring/flipping tiles. This will be enabled by default. To toggle this setting, go to Edit > Settings > Edit Mode > Reverse with Mirror/Flip.
Added: Visual indicators when Disabling selections for face/vert/edge. The corresponding text at bottom of 3d viewport will turn red when disabled.
Changed: In the Painting panel, Delete key will now erase pixels from a selected area instead of removing the selection. You can use Ctrl+D if you want to deselect.
Changed: Ctrl key has been switched to Command key for Mac users. Mac users will need to reset their bindings to overwrite their cached bindings.
Fixed: Hidden faces would become selected when click+dragging to select an area.
Fixed: Using Triangle Divide and Triangle Merge in Active Edit Mode would cause tiles to become uneditable until new tiles were drawn.
Fixed: Increasing framerate in settings would make camera move faster with YGHJ+Spacebar.

v1.8.8

In addition to this update, I'd like to remind everyone that the 3rd CrocoJam starts soon!
🍓CrocoJam 3

v.1.8.8 (May 31, 2022)

Added: New option in Settings > Edit Mode > Group WASD Undos. This will reduce the number of undo states when moving the select with the WASD keys. This will be enabled by default.
Added: New option in Settings > Edit Mode > Object Mode Hide All. This will hide everything outside of an object when in Object Edit Mode.
Added: Flip/Mirror hotkeys (F and R keys) to Painting panel for use with selection tools. You can change these by going to Edit > Buttons > Painting..
Added: Rotate Left/Right bindings to Painting panel for use with selection tools. They are unbound by default. You can change these by going to Edit > Buttons > Painting..
Fixed: Undoing the Add Camera or Add Light would cause an error, preventing the Redoing of it and leaving a ghost item listed in the Scene panel.
Fixed: Edges were not selectable from backside if doublesided mode was enabled.
Fixed: Sticky tool and Block tool would not work from backside if doublesided mode was enabled.
Fixed: Tileset,UVs,Painting panels would sometimes pan the tileset momentarily when holding spacebar and clicking the 3d view to rotate.
Fixed: You could still select and edit edges of tiles if the tiles were hidden.

v.1.8.7 (May 21, 2022)

Added: Polish localization, provided by ZygZagDev! Thank you!
Added: Action to push selection against existing tiles, relative to the cardinal axis of the crosshair that the camera faces. This is useful in cases where you want something to sit flush against a surface, and the surface may not sit exactly on the grid. Press / key to perform the action. You can also rebind it by going to Edit > Buttons > Edit Mode > Push Against. This action can also be accessed in the Transform panel.
Added: Option to keep Sticky tool proportionate to the tile selection. Settings > Draw Mode > Sticky Edge Proportionate.
Added: Lambert material type. Shading is calculated using a Gouraud shading model.
Added: Action to straighten vertices relative to the tile they belong to. This results with the tiles becoming flat, facing the direction of a triangle's face normal or an average of both triangle normals if both vertices are selected. Right-click > Vertices > Straighten relative to their own tiles. You can also assign a shortcut key to this operation: Edit > Buttons > Edit Mode > Straighten relative to their tiles.
Fixed: If a Prefab Object was selected in the Scene panel, it would fail to export gltf objects without embedded textures.
Fixed: Couldn't select collapsed tiles that had an L shape.
Fixed: Using touchpad pinch gesture to zoom would cause entire application to resize.
