The new Wrap Mode feature allows tile previewing which is useful for textures and things that need to be repeated when used as backdrops and background assets.
As game artists, an obviously repeated pattern is an eyesore, especially at small samples. This should make it easier to work out a more natural looking placement for your pixel art and games.
Tiling preview
With this new feature, artists are able to draw anywhere on the screen so you're not limited to just the drawing area. This is because we update your canvas regardless of where you paint your pixels.
Converting a spritesheet into different formats
Chop up your spritesheet easily into frames. Just use 'brush pickup' to select the dimension of one character and then choose 'Anim from SpriteSheet' under the Image dropdown.
You can always swap frames to layers, or vice versa, under the same dropdown and flatten back the spritesheet into a single image by adjusting the values to a single layer in the Layer window.
We're posting videos of the new features you'll be seeing in the next version of Swanky Paint leading up to the official release party on the 4th of August, 2018 so see you next time!
