Hmm, I'd usually just plug in the video I want rendered into the image input and render out the result as either a png sequence or a video file, it's material shader based so the input video has to go "through" that process somehow :)

Hello and thank you very much for supporting me!

MRMO-CRT uses a procedurally generated shadowmask, in the aptly named "ShadowMask", node group (a subgroup within the "Composite Shadowmask") group. You could circumvent the procedural mask, and plug in your own texture, something like this:

Thank you very much Adel!

Hey! It's due to the ink colors being used not "true" cyan, magenta and yellow; could you change them and see if it's any different?

Of course! 

I thought it'd be useful to split the tiles into "shapes" and "specialized" stuff, like I did with MRMOTEXT, as it helps me construct scenes faster. As for the palette, I made it with the help of Dawnbringer's specialized palette analyzer for Grafx2, so it should (in theory) cover a large part of the RGB color space while having mutually distinct colors with the main focus on the primaries (plus magenta and some "nougat" tones).

Hey! Textmode is kind of niche but when done "properly" can both look very nice and be rather easy to work with. The way I see it, as I'm not aware of an actual textmode-compatible game engine editor existing, there's two options to implement textmode assets in a game:

-Either create a custom system or editor to interpret and manipulate textmode assets, create levels and objects and export the necessary data (which would allow for more creative freedom and ease of use, at the cost of having to make the editor "engine" yourself), or

-Improvise! I used LDtk with custom, pre-made tilesets (basically, copies of the "main" textmode tileset with several different color combinations) to make some nice looking results! It's more limited in the sense of available colors and creative freedom, and the duplicated tilesets can be a bit cumbersome to navigate, but allows the use of a really good, easy to use game-focused tile-based editor :)

Also, I'd definitely research the game-making aspect of Playscii, as it's intended to be a python-based game development tool. I'm certain it can export useful game data in at least *some* way, but it's always been outside of my scope of expertise so I can't provide much useful info on that.

Hey! Thanks a lot for supporting me, and I hope you have fun making stuff with the processes!
TriCRTops should actually work with Cycles, I used to use some Eevee-specific nodes but they should all have been replaced, and I left the process as "Eevee-only" basically just because I hadn't tested it properly. Just disable the "From Instancer" option in the UV Map and it should work!

Hey! It would be redistribution, but I guess if you included the font license info with the project in some way it should be okay? In any case, you have my permission to do so! Whatever you're working on, looks nice!

Hello! I've read your request :)
I definitely plan to expand Chthonic Masonry, but I have no fixed schedule for it at this time. Feel free to list stuff you'd like to see added, and I'll consider it!

Technically, it depends on what you consider to be "assets"? As long as you're not redistributing the tileset itself, it should be okay :)

Hello! For 3d stuff, I am using Crocotile, Blender, or a combination of the two :)

Hello! It's redistribution :/

But you could allow for external assets in your project! :)

Any updates to any of the included products will also be included into this bundle, and I'm using all of them on Blender 4.3.1. If anything breaks due to the new Blender versions, I'll try and fix it as soon as I can.

*edit* oh also, all of the processes have free versions so feel free to test those!

Okay! Also, I'd like to see the results.

Not at all, I've definitely had tiles go missing before, especially after I update the tilesets :) 

For example, the arrow tiles in "Goblins" were all "arrow up" for quite some time! :D

Could you please check tiles at coordinates 10,3 to 11,4? (starting from 0). What tileset are you using?

Hey! Are you referring to these?

Very nice! I don't have a fixed roadmap but I definitely want to add more stuff to the tileset.

Thank you very much for supporting my work!

You can set the picker toggle key to "press" to keep the character picker open, that's how I use it :)

It unfortunately does, and I'm really not sure how to deal with these as I've had similar propositions for my other tilesets before. Maybe make it so that it requires the assets to be placed somewhere manually?

REXpaint resizes the UI according to the tileset it uses, and it was impractical for me to make a X3 version as the UI extended past my desktop resolution, making it unusable. It's basically the only reason I'm not using REXPaint more :/

Hey! I'm glad you like it :D
My go-to palettes right now would be DB32 and AAP-64 as great "generic" all-purpose palettes. Most of the color mockups on the project page use AAP-64!

You can change any of the sub-windows to "Shader Editor" and switch its type from "Object" to "World" :)
Blender's UI is extremely customizable like that!

The "shell" material is set up to receive two separate colors from the main geometry nodes "control panel"- logo color 1 and 2- and uses two textures to determine where those colors get mixed on the shell, as well as to raise the "print" level via bumpmapping so that it reflects the lights appropriately. 

In order to use a full color image logo "print", you'd need to switch the two textures and edit the shader node connections. Basically, you need a black-and-white image of the logo to use as a "mask" and a full-color image to determine the colors, and then link the output from the first "mix" node like so, that it replaces the color attributes coming from geometry nodes:

Hopefully, this will give you the desired result!

Hey! The reflection comes from the HDR texture used for lighting the scene. Not only can you move or remove it, you can use a custom HDR environment if you want, and rotate it using the "Mapping" node to get it just right :)

Hey! I'll look into making more options, thanks for the references! :D

Hey! You can do it by replacing the textures in the "Shell Material.J" material!

Hey! If anyone used it in that way, they hadn't shown me :D
The process was intended for non-interactive use since it's entirely Blender-based, but there can be ways of incorporating it into something more interactive, if nothing else then by pre-rendering stuff as animations and using those as textures in Unity or something like that :)

Hey! Thanks a bunch for purchasing the tileset, please go ahead and share it with your team, I'd really like to see the results when you have made something with it!

I did some "colorizing" with a previous tileset, by doing basically what you described- I opened the set in Aseprite (which I fully recommend, it's awesome), swapped the colors and just pasted the recolored version into a large "atlas". Just find a palette that works for you, and you can get it done in a relatively short time. 

Maybe I should make some color variations and include them with the tileset, too?

Thanks a bunch :D

This is GREAT :D

Yes! And please show the results! :D

Hey! Thanks a lot for purchasing MRMO-STITCH!

The suggested "safe" maximum size of 128x128 pixels can be modified within the geometry nodes, but as the process is based around instancing "real" geometry, it quickly becomes extremely taxing on the hardware, with a 1024x1024 canvas producing over a million stitch objects, taking up roughly 5GB of video RAM with 10 million tris/5 million faces :)
What resolution are you trying to use?

Yes! And thank you :D

Hey! It should be working in Cycles already, it's the glass display on top that's specifically made for Eevee that doesn't (currently) work. If you remove the glass, you should see the shader behind it :)

Thank you very much! I was intending to make them all part of this same project, but I'm not 100% sure what to do yet :)
The "color" flavour is almost ready, I need to go and finish testing so I can release it :D

Hello! I'm glad you found this tileset useful! I'll look into some options for making a higher-res version, it should be possible for me to export the tiles in at least 2x resolution but I need to go check if the quality would be good enough :)

Thanks for informing me about this, I'll go see that this gets fixed :D

*edit* should be fixed now!

Thank you very much :D
