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.

v1.8.6

v.1.8.6 (May 6, 2022)
  • Added: Toggle Lights On/Off. Go to Scene Panel, and select from the Light menu. This will disable/enable all the lights in the scene (they can still be selected and edited though).
  • Added: Settings to customize the color and opacity level of selected faces in Active Edit mode. Go to Edit > Settings > Edit Mode, to select the color and opacity.
  • Improved: Improved the color palette importer to handle some palettes that might use different formatting.
  • Fixed: The Combine Instances action would fail to handle unselected nested instances. This might also fix related issues causing instances to change position.
  • Fixed: Edge highlight would become very thick if the window was very small when quiting the program or creating a new scene.
  • Fixed: When setting the Camera's Up Vector, the Skybox and Viewcube would be oriented incorrectly.

  • Fixed: Deselecting vertices with Ctrl+D wouldn't update UVs either.
  • Fixed: Ctrl+A selecting touching vertices wouldn't update UVs either.
  • Fixed: Exporting would deselect verts/faces and also exit Object Edit Mode.
