What's in progress this summer for ATE

Nov 8, 2017

Atlas Tile Editor (ATE)

2D TILE CREATOR! Create reusable sprite atlases and tile sets that reuse the same texture atlas in creative ways. Create advanced geometric tilesets for OpenGL (and DirectX) games in a way never before offered, pair customized tilesets with heightmap and normalmap data using a simple cyborg algorithmic and artistic way of building height...

More features involving Voxels are coming your way soon. I'm deep in the throws of the Voxel editor this summer! Bringing 3D to the ATE Editor!

(Use spheres, cones, etc, to add to the voxel) [*] Stretch goal: Convert 3d meshes to voxel objects [/list] Of course you can then import the voxel-spawned images into an ATE atlas and go to town!
