Small tools for pixel textures, the way the PS1 intended. Cut photos up, paint on models, crunch it all down to a palette. Anti-aliasing not included.

pasteup
cut · paste · crunch
A small image editor for crunchy retro textures. Cut pieces from photos, lay them onto a model's UVs, paint and crunch them down to a palette, and watch it live in Blender.

- blender
- one texture per material, written into the material's own images; strokes come back
02 / model painter

- masks
- ao, edges, cavity, drips and gradients, baked once from the geometry
- stamps
- shapes, decals, text and photo snippets, projected live, mirrored if you like
