Twitch stream of Crocotile3d demonstration 🐊 July 21, 2020

In this live demonstration I take a couple tilesets that were premade for 2d, and I convert them into 3d scenes! Let me know if you want me to convey anything specific in future videos or if you have any specific questions.

Crocotile source file

v1.5.0

We have reached v1.5.0! A lot has been added over the past months. This latest released adds the ability to Tilt the 3d crosshair. This allows you to draw and edit tiles on a rotated axis instead of the default x,y,z. This is useful in cases where you want to build stuff at different angles. Check the video for a complete overview on how to do this. There are also some new transform features, and painting symmetry features!

Check the patchnotes below for a full list of improvements!

  • Added: New Tilt feature for the 3d crosshair. This allows the crosshair/grid to be tilted relative to a tile's edge so that you can draw and edit at different angles. Hover over a tile and press Shift+T to set the anchor relative to the tiles edge. Press T to toggle Tilt mode on/off.
  • Added: Button in the Transform tab to toggle between (x,y,z) or a relative direction (right,up,backward) depending on camera orientation.
  • Added: Translate crosshair options in the Tranform tab. This allows you to shift the crosshair by a specific amount.
  • Added: Symmetry options for the Pencil and Eraser tools. A vertical and horizontal symmetry line that can be toggled on/off.
  • Improved: Reduced some processes while scene is being rotated and panned.

v1.4.9b

v.1.4.9b (June 15, 2020)
  • Added: Field of View setting. It is found in the Settings inside the Camera section.
  • Fixed: Sometimes rotating/panning the camera would introduce large movement spikes.
  • Fixed: Painting over tiles in a rotated object would cause many duplicate tiles to be created. This bug was caused by a recent change in the previous version to fix small gaps. Should be fixed now.
