A Blender add-on for building tile based low-poly scenes with paint/map editor like tools · By
Hi, here is a screenshot. I'm in the build mode, there is no preview in the lower right corner. I thought that maybe some other addon is in some sort of conflict with sprytile, so i turned of bPainter and HardOps addonsm after i took thes screenshot but it did not help.
Not visible on this picture is the fact that i can build as intended, i even get semi-transparent preview of the tile, offset works so I can pick the part of my tile set manually via offset but is not the most comfortable workaround.
As far as I could see other features of the addon work as intended.
Thanks for the help.
edit: just to add.. I am using a 2k tileset that I made, for testing, as I do not intend to use Sprytile for pixel art style.
No need to apologize, the tutorials really didn't consider people completely new to Blender which I hope to address in the next documentation pass.
I'm probably not moving edges when tiles are moved at angles, it's more likely that they've been rotated. There's a section of the text advanced documents that shows how to do this.
Hope this answers your question, have fun with using Sprytile!
I'm not sure how it would be setup once imported in Unreal, but you can add a second UV channel for lightmapping in Blender through the data tab as shown in this video: https://streamable.com/ut6u7
You'll probably want to play around with the smart project settings to add more padding between UV islands or even manually unwrap the lightmap, but this is the basic idea.
OBJ files need to have MTL files to tell other programs what texture to apply to the mesh. You may need to set the Blender OBJ exporter settings correctly: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/63624/how-to-properly-export-into-ob...
I downloaded this https://github.com/godotengine/godot-blender-exporter
and tried to import it this way in a different format and failed
I'm wondering if there's a way to turn off texture rotation based off of view angle. Basically to turn the left side of the image into the right side. I hope this makes sense...
Yes, I plan to update it for Blender 2.8, I'm starting to look into it now that the beta is out.
Found it! Thanks! I didnt check github and thought they updated the download link or something :)
For everyone who`s wondering why it doesnt work, you hav to download the latest version!!
https://github.com/ologon/Sprytile/releases/download/2.8-beta9/sprytile_2.8_beta...
Thanks for your support. The lastest version that supports 2.79 is version 0.4.5 and you can download it from the GitHub releases: https://github.com/Sprytile/Sprytile/releases/tag/v0.4.50
Sprytile applies subpixel padding by default, you can adjust the amount of padding in the Sprytile panel, under Extra UV Grid Settings.
In the sprytile build tool, holding down S will snap the 3d cursor to the vertex nearest to your mouse cursor.
You can configure it to snap to vertices or the virtual grid in the workflow panel.
Turning on cursor flow will make the 3d cursor follow along your tiles while you build.
Good point about delete face. In 2.79 Sprytile was integrated with geometry manipulation so you didn't have to exit out of build mode to delete things, but 2.8 changes the workflow so maybe its time to implement a delete shortcut.
If you only resize the sheet on the Y axis, this can easily be done with Blender's existing tools. In your image editor, resize the image upwards by 2x. For example if your sheet is 256x256, resize it to 256x512. In Blender load the resized sprite sheet and go to the UV editor.
In the UV editor, set the 2d cursor position in the 'n' key sidebar, by going to the view tab in the sidebar. Set the position to 0,0 and select all of your mesh faces. Set the pivot to the 2d cursor, and use the UV scale tool. Press Y to restrict the scale to the Y axis, and type in 0.5. This will restore your UV map to the original setup with the larger sheet.
Hello, I need help I think. When I try building anything with Sprytile textures don't load. I follow the exact instructions from the Sprytile Quick Start tutorial video and when I got to the point where I can build using the Sprytile build tool it creates a blank, transparent face, evin wit Material or Rendered view. I tried changing shader, tried different tileset but non of that worked. I don't have any other addons installed and am using the newest version of Blender (installed yesterday). Is there any way to fix this? I have some experience with Blender but honestly not much. Thank you for a quick answer :)
You can lock the view rotation by clicking the lock axis button, as shown here: Feature Reference - Sprytile Documentation
You'll need to make a material in Unity that is assigned to the model and uses the texture: Unity Settings - Sprytile Documentation
