Glad you're finding it useful, thanks for sharing!

Sounds good! Eagerly awaiting trying it. :)

Ah gotcha, thanks for the answer. Half-Edge looks super rad but is it level design focused? The world really needs something like Trenchbroom but for modern formats (ie. no FGD, WAD, .map/.bsp stuff).

Is there a possibility of Scythe becoming a standalone app in the future, or is it too intertwined with the UE editor? The world is in need of a tool like this which exports to GLTF, which can be used in a variety of engines.

The "manual" mode sticks to a uniform grid you can move around and resize by holding the shift key.

The "auto" mode uses some advanced edge-detection and line clustering powered by OpenCV.js, all running in-browser. Had fun porting this logic over from the Python library github.com/KennethJAlle...

For those interfaced, the procedure is pretty simple: we overlay a virtual pixel grid over the top of the high-res image, then find the dominant colors in each cell of the grid to essentially "redraw" the pixel art image.

Sidenote: Performance isn't *the best* right now as it's all running on the CPU / main thread. Future todo is handing the processing off to Web Workers and doing some multi-threading for about a 4x speed increase.

As you can see in the demo video, I'm getting decent results just screengrabbing and pasting random parts of images from Pexels. Any feedback, bug reports appreciated. 🙂

You can try it out @ tools.ummjackson.com/texture/tiler

It includes pixel-level synthesis (good for organic textures), patch-based synthesis (good for maintaining grains, etc.) and several processing modes like offset + seal and simple alpha gradient blending (good for tiles, bricks etc.)

thank you! hope it’s useful for people.
