STRUCTOR — ISOMETRIC UPDATE

I make games, and I wanted to draw isometric art without counting pixels to get the angles right. So I built it in properly... and then kept going until saving, finding things and getting help caught up too.

Everything below is already live.

BIGGER UPDATES

ISOMETRIC MODE — Build isometric artwork with a frame builder.

Lines snap to the isometric slopes. Drag a box, pull it up, click. It lands shaded — light top, darker sides. Boxes side by side join into one. Ready-made ramps, columns and rooms. Circles that lie flat or stand upright. Cast a flat drawing onto floor or wall. One click drops a floor to build on. Stack tiles for cliffs and rooftops. Exports made with game engines in mind.

MATERIAL FILL — Preset texture fills.

Brick, stone, sand, grass, leaves, wood, water. Drawn in your color, seamless every time. Chameleon mode keeps the shading underneath. Fill a shadowed wall — the shadow survives.

SAVE — New button and logic to saving.

Drawing modes save a picture to share. Animation and isometric keep an editable project. It always tells you which one it wrote. It remembers the folder you work in.

PRESS F1 — Help got rebuilt.

Search understands how people actually ask. "Show me" lights up the real buttons. It walks you through, step by step. Tips for the habits that look good.

SMALLER UPDATES

Turn a photo into a stitch pattern. The frame strip is faster and friendlier. Preset animations move and recolor before landing. Bones bend stiff like elbows or squishy like slime. Animated WebP export, alongside GIF. One name per thing, everywhere in the app. Palettes sorted by theme and can be reset two ways. Drag an image onto the empty canvas supported. Sidebar now only offers usable tools. Dozens of small fixes.
