This looks like a great way to quickly make simple 3D scenes! Love the idea!

Any recommended games made like this? It looks awesome.

looks like a great way for someone with 2d pixelart skills to get started with 3d!

I absolutely love this idea. What a great, easy to understand, way for building 3d scenes.

Man, these types of programs really make me nostalgic and brings me back to when I was a child. I was obsessed with 3d software like blender and sketchup.

  Uhh this makes me feel old. These were like university age for me. I played with Dr. Genius painting software when I was child.

    Gah this makes me feel old! Blender was uni (but was too bloated to run on my PCs back then) and sketch up is new!

      Boy, this makes me feel old. When I was a kid the only way to learn 3d software was to pirate one of the commercial offerings like 3D Studio Max or SoftImage

        Golly, when I were but a lad the only way to learn 3D software was to sit in front of easel for hours on end, learning depth perception by painting naked form after naked form.

        You had eyes? Back in my dat6, we hadn't differentiated into multi cellular organisms yet, and had to model 2D worlds as an amoeba because that's all the dimensions we had at the time. An Amoeba! You tell kids these days, they don't believe you. It is the most annoying thing.
        tetris11 2y ago
        At least you had a nucleus. Back in my Archea years we had to metabolise 2D chains of sulphur and ammonia to grasp some level of spatial composition.

Wow this might finally push me to do something, thanks!

Impressive! It isn't open source, right? (I had a brief browse around and didn't see any links to the source but may have missed it)
- tetris11 2y ago
  I also searched around, found nothing. It would be nice to see a license without having to purchase the binary first.

  I don't know if it still exists but there was one that was built on top of blender that was easier to use. Crocotile3D is not as easy to use as it seems, the dude who makes it is an artist who is very specialized in using their own tools - they have their own pixel art tool too. The other tools that have somewhat similar spirit are the voxel ones and the ones that are using stacking sprite as main way to create things.

    "Sprytile" is the open-source Blender addon inspired by Crocotile. Seems last updated a few years ago from a quick googling; I never used either, so no idea how they compare or how Sprytile works with the newest Blender.

      There is "ReSprytile", updated for 4.1 (not tested).

  It's not. It's a commercial product with a free demo version.
- tux1968 2y ago
  It's not open source, and you need a license (or purchase it through Steam) in order to export any of your creations.

There's also Blockbench which seems similar although I haven't used it https://www.blockbench.net/ https://www.blockbench.net/

damn thats really freaking cool

love this. reminds me of picoCAD though this is obviously more robust. lo-poly is so awesome

Can we just appreciate that the way you keep directional reference is by a rotating crocodile! Looks silly at first but is immediately intuitive.

Crocotile! Finally a thing that is named in a proper way. What a good name.

Life has taught me so many lessons. No matter how good, humble and honest you are to them that doesn’t mean that they will treat you the same way. I married my husband for almost five years now with no idea that he was cheating on me. I noticed some changes in his character and I decided to confide in a friend who introduced me to a hacker whose name is Vladimir. This guy did a wonderful and perfect job for me by hacking his phone call log, facebook messenger messages, phone messages, whatsapp, Skype, database and so on.
