Hey there! Just came across your Texel Paint app and am interested in seeing how this goes. Looks like a really handy tool for easily coloring low poly models. For indies who just want straightforward painting, this is a godsend.

Since you stated to name any recommendations we may have as you develop this app further I figured having a pixel/dithering brush might spruce things a bit, especially for those who may want a 2d pixel kind of aesthetic on their models. Usually doing this involves going to something like Photoshop or AeSprite and being relatively unaware as to where you're painting until its too late.

Other than that, maybe a layer mode or a "decal" mode. This is in case you wanted an extra or separate texture layer on your model for things like rust, blood, dirt, stamps, scratches, etc. on top of the original color layer. This can be good for easily testing multiple texture or wear and tear on models for games. (Like if you lose health, you can have a game switch textures to a "beaten up" texture without having to mess with your original model).

I hope that this is helpful in some way, and look forward to seeing where Texel Paint goes from here. I don't know if these recommendations would fit or are unrealistic, but just putting them out there in case. With that said, thank you for the work you're putting in already and hope to see this come to full release.

Hey there Andy! Thanks for the work you put into this plugin. I don't mind the "ugly" UI at all, the versatility of this really opens up possibilities for stylized animation styles within Blender.  

Much appreciated for this Andy, for taking the time to recompile this great plugin for older Blender versions. Thanks a million! 😁 

Woah! I love this! Having to animate explosions on pixelated characters can be hard to make convincing (especially for 8 directional sprites). 

This can be really helpful for making gib-like explosions for custom monsters in Doom as well. Much appreciated for this. Not sure if you plan on updating this further, but loving what this offers so far. 

Hey Puck! Just wanted to thank you for the hard work you put into this program. Really helpful for getting quality conversions and previews for demakes and low poly/pixel art enthusiasts. Also, before I forget, Happy Birthday! Have a cake on me, hope you have a great one!🎂😁 

Understandable, I've seen all the cool updates you've done between the Doom mods and I'm sure there are other projects and such you're working on. It's cool. 

If I make something with this, I'll be sure to send your credentials. Can be a real life saver for indie devs and for pixel artists who are looking for some means of getting better with their art. 

Woah. I didn't know you were working on something like this. Looks like a pretty cool well thought out tool. Highly appreciate that you're willing to share this with the rest of the itch community. Will give this a go and some testing to see what this can do. Thank you Reactorcore!

Just wanted to say I'm already loving the new update! Fast and really versatile with the new ability to change the angle of the export. Really appreciate the work you're doing here, and for accepting feedback.

The fact that its working so well and this is only the beginning has me pumped to see what new upgrades to this you'll put into overtime. 

Many thanks pixel_Salvaje for this!

Hello there,  just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love this plugin. This tool has helped me in many ways in terms of rendering all of the angles for characters as well as pixelating images that were originally 3d. 

Any chance that this plugin will be updated for the newer Blender versions? It's really nifty and a godsend for Doom modders like myself. 

Much appreciated for all the work you did with this plugin. Hope all is well and that you have a wonderful day. This is the best Blender 3d to 8 directional image converter IMHO and deserves recognition.

Woah this looks extremely cool! This mod works so seamlessly items to the player so seamlessly too.  Amazing job Reactocore!

Have you ever experimented with this on monsters? Like holding a use button on let's say, a monster or friendly NPC, and teleporting them on release to wherever you're pointing at?

Hello pixel_Salvaje. Thanks for responding.  Much appreciated for hearing me out and for considering the potential update. I think this is a really amazing tool. 

Having played a lot of Doom and dabbled in some modding, this tool would perfectly fit right in the alley for those looking for an extremely handy toolset for sprite work that demand a lot of sprites of that nature. 

As a possible hypothetical addition to the orthographic rotation, is it possible to also have it where you can get sprites from a top view orthographic? So if you wanted 8 direction sprites from a top or bottom view for those who want to really spice up their sprite work now that tools like this enable more faster workflows? 

I'm asking because Doom style sprites look amazing and detailed, and those are only 8 directions in a 360° left to right fashion. But what about from the top or bottom view for those looking to incorporate sprites in more 3d environments, or those with more complex elevation or areas. Just something  I have been thinking about with this, but feel free to tell me otherwise if its unrealistic in any way. I'm already happy to see a tool like this exist. It's the only one of its kind.

Woah this looks really amazing. Loads of potential with this tool. Quick question, can you control the camera view for when you're exporting 8 directions or 16 direction angles? 

I'm asking because I tend to experiment with fps and would like to match the angles of the 8 directional sprites for fps style games. The images you've shown look for more "top-down" or "isometric" angles and I was curious. 

Still an amazing tool though. I'm not gonna lie I am impressed with what you've achieved this far and can't wait to see this grow as it updates. 

Hello Andy!

Oh I see. I understand. I would still get this plugin even if part of the plugin  is only compatible with Blender 3.6. There's literally no outline plugin for more stylized or "2D" based modeling or animations. 

Much appreciated for the work you've already put into the unique plugin Andy. 

Hey this looks really cool. Quick question, is there a list of compatible Blender versions? Just asking because I tend to stick to Blender 3.6 and didn't see which versions this was compatible with.

Oh wow, this looks amazing! And it's so seamless too! I can definitely see this being useful for puzzle based wads or even with secret items that are intentionally supposed to be unreachable.

Terrific work ReactorCore! 

Woah this is really cool! Really great work on this one since it's versatile despite being a mini mod. Would match perfectly with melee weapon mods.  

I wonder if this can be modded further to do things like grab faraway items or like keycards?

Oh I see forgive me. I'm usually seeing GPU when it comes to AI powered programs and just wanted to be sure before making a purchase. Thank you for the prompt reply and letting me know.

What are the minimum specs require for this program to work. Since this is AI powered I'm asking in case my setup doesn't have enough to make this run properly.

Oh I see, she's confusing them as enemies.  If you don't mind, what other follower has this similar issue? This may help me narrow down some of the exact code that might be causing her to prematurely attack anything in front of her (even things that are just props like the pillars). If anything I could try some things to see if I can get her to not attack non hostile entities or props  (or whatever object those pillars are considered to be in the code of the wad).

Thanks for letting me know Kholchev and for the support.

Hey there, Kholchev. I wouldn't mind seeing if I can add a button to help with this kind of situation (I'll need to do some research on this for ZScript).  I'll see if I can get this "teleport to player button" working, it's a good failsafe to have in those situations. (For this and for potential future mods).

However, you said has trouble with getting stuck? Do you mind telling me which maps in particular gave you this trouble? I have heard that she has trouble in tight narrow areas like mazes at times a while back in her previous versions, and would like to also see if there's something that can be done about her pathfinding. (If not then the teleport button would be the perfect failsafe to counter this altogether.)

With that said, i am glad that you gave the mod a shot and hope you're having a blast with it so far despite these hiccups.

Fair enough. Thank you for replying. Can't wait to see them when they're ready. With that said, thanks for the prompt response. Really like the high quality seamless textures here. 

Any chance you can upload some school based textures? Like for walls, gymnasiums, cafeterias. Maybe one for realism, one for stylized/anime ones?

Okay then. Thank you for letting me know. That's fine.  Not a problem for me. 

As for the expansion, that's great. Kingdom Hearts always had some of the best OST I heard growing up with the PS2. SquareEnix (at the time Squaresoft for part 1) always did have a great taste in orchestral music. 

I can't wait to see when that expansion is released. Really appreciate the work you do, both as a lover of those games and someone who loves the idea of preserving these kind of things that most take for granted. Even something like music carries weight and its own "history" ingrained into every pitch. Much like how people would go crazy for a classical piano for the pitch/sound alone, having that option or ability as a game dev or a music enthusiast is really amazing to have in the modern age. (They still try to remake these soundtracks all the time for a reason.)

Wow this sounds so legitimately like the RPGs of the PS2 era! Love the fact that it was actually done through the hardware. Like a time capsule and a good means of preserving that unique pitch whilst enabling new creators to recreate those magical beats we grew up with. 

Does this work with GuyEngine V2 as well as v1 by any chance?

Wow this is one I would love to play with Quake. Thanks a lot for this humorous and really accurate mod. 

This is a really good pack. Thank you so much for the amazing models.

Hey there I'm interested in purchasing the spider but I can't see a download or purchase button. It seems to be gone at the moment.

Thank you for this Facínora! Really appreciate it for the recommendation as well as the well-made video showcasing my character as well as the cool other mods that you showed such as Catacombs and Terrestrial Weapons!

Really glad that you gave it a legitimate playthrough and look like you were having fun. Can't wait to see more cool mods and creations in your next video. Really appreciate it and glad to have you! 

PS: I'm honored to have Daisy Eternal on the thumbnail! 😆 

Okay I see. I understand. I'll see what I can do to edit her spawning code. I haven't gotten around to that one yet due to not knowing ZScript all too well for the specific placement of her spawn. After the next update I'll see what can be done to fix that. If I can I'll have her start in the back/side of the player. 

As for the glow I'll have a no glow version for the next update to at least have that option. Thank you for trying the mod and for letting me know about this.

Hello NotoriousCaitSith, thank you for trying out the mod and for the support.

Can you be more specific, are we talking about the glow in general (including for her attacks or spells) or just the passive  glow that follows her around with her sword?

I can include the no glow version in the next update as a separate option for those who may feel the same. 

Forgive me this is an update. I forgot to place the composite node instead of the Viewer Node. Unfortunately now its all black instead. Just have to fix that lol.

Hello there, I was trying to use Palette Studio and love the simplicity of getting all 8 angles at once. This is such a time saver for those on the Doom Modding scene and for indie game makers. I applaud you for your hard work.

Currently I am all set to render for a test, unfortunately I faced an issue. This is the error I was given.

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Users\spong\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.6\scripts\addons\palette_studio.py", line 822, in modal

    bpy.data.images['Viewer Node'].save_render(render_path)

RuntimeError: Error: Image 'Viewer Node' could not be saved to 'D:\DAISY ETERNAL 3D MODEL\DAISY FRAME SNAPSHOTS\TESTA01.png'

I am currently running on Blender 3.6.2.  I posted the compositing node and viewport in case. Most likely it's something I didn't notice but I don't exactly know what this particular error means. Any help would be appreciated. All that said thank you for all the work you've done on this fantastic plugin.

Really love this one. Do you have a male base mesh to match this aesthetic?

Really appreciated this. I had a problem installing some old apk files into the VR that I wanted to try out, like old railgun shooters and light gun games that are no longer available in the mobile store. This program enabled me to do so and now I'm having a lot of fun with it. Really appreciated the work you did on this project! Works great on my Quest!

I really can't wait to see more of the progress for EZGameBuilder. I'm sure you're working really hard at this and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us from here to the future.

I was already impressed with the EFPSE and the many features that it possessed despite certain limitations (like not much 3d oriented support, friendly NPCs for more immersive campaigns, lighting, and in depth cutscenes. But this is understandable considering it was for more classic fps type of games, as well as the fact that this in an independent tool made by one person. That's impressive given the functionality and intricate layout provided by this. Plus it had script support! Enabling more customization.)

As a starter pack in terms of game development it's been a godsend for many like me who wanted to test the waters of game development but don't exactly know much about some of the more intricate game development software such as unreal engine or godot.  It also allowed me to start thinking like a dev using creativity in order to get the results we wanted even despite limitations. (Which many game devs have to do anyway.)

I'm loving the direction that you're going with this, and I wish you all the best in terms of the development of this amazing tool set. You have my support and I can't wait to at try the pre alpha and see for myself. Cheers!

Hello, I noticed that there is no purchase button for this asset pack. Where do I get it if not here

Hello, I actually originally wrote this using the say it app that you developed. Originally it had no periods. I really love the ease of use and how very versatile it is when it comes to working with a multitude of text based software.  I had several tests from Microsoft Word 2010 and LibreOffice, since those softwares don't have voice dictation. Thank you very much for the hard work you put into this it works like a charm! And makes typing a breeze. Much appreciated!

(For reference here's the original way it wrote down below. It was so quick and straightforward and required very little editing as I went over it.

Your welcome Uniday! I'll give it a test again and send you an update in case anything comes up. Really like the potential of this software and really appreciate the work you're doing here. Thank you for the swift response!

I recently tried to use Say it. Unfortunately an error occurred.

I don't exactly know if its a python related issue or maybe I'm missing some form of programming language or pip install to make this compatible with my PC.

That's fine, as long as I can do something to that extent I don't mind doing it the flipbook method. Thank you so much for this very intuitive and well developed software Rodzilla! 

Can I make a moving animated texture from let's say a PNG sequence? I have a sequence of water and would like to use that along with a normal map for a project and am curious if this possible with Material Maker.
