Hello! This is finally the stable release of 0.19, adding vector drawing to PixelOver with the new bezier shape and bezier line objects.

Shapes and lines are drawn with a pen tool, edited point by point, filled or stroked with colors and gradients, and can be baked into pixels at any time.

Roadmap and news

Documentation and tutorials

New features

Added the bezier shape object : draw filled shapes with a pen tool, then edit them point by point. - Pen tool to place points, with in/out handles and handle constraints (mirrored, aligned or free). - Points and handles are editable on canvas with the deform tool, or numerically from the new point inputs. - Solid color or gradient fill. - Menu to align the shape with its origin. - Conversion menu : shape to mesh, and shape to image or animated image (bake the vector result into pixels).

Added the bezier line object : same curve editing, but stroked instead of filled. - Width curve to make the stroke thicker or thinner along the line. - Closed parameter to turn the line into a loop. - Gradient support along the stroke. - 1 pixel wide lines are drawn with a bresenham algorithm for clean pixel art results. - Align points to origin menu.

Changes

Zooming on the animation timeline and the graph editor now targets the mouse position instead of the center.

Added an x/y swap button on the canvas size input, to switch between portrait and landscape in one click.

New setting to define a custom output folder for exports.

Added proper inputs to edit mesh points : point positions can now be typed in instead of being dragged only, and the last selected point stays visible while editing.

Roadmap and news

Documentation and tutorials

Changes

Animation folder structure : choose to export all animations in the same folder, a folder per animation folder or a folder per animation.

Improved exported animations picker : pick whole animation folders or single animations from a tree.

Advanced file name : reorder the parts composing the exported file names.

Separated layers can now be exported in different folders.

Auto rotation : pick up to 3 axes. With several axes, all direction combinations are exported and the axis names appear in the file names.

GIF export improvement (especially when a palette is set in the layer).

Added a setting for using the vertex color in 3D materials.

Bug fixes

This release is mainly adding 2D lights with normal maps on Image and Animated image.

Roadmap and news

Documentation and tutorials

New features

Added 2D light object.

Normal maps on Image and Animated image.

Light occluder.

And ambient color for 2D layer.

The asset pack used for the example : [url href = https://trixelized.itch.io/starstring-fields]STRINGSTAR FIELDS[/url]

Changes

Added an export option to combine 3D auto rotation directions into one file.

Added option to apply current animation track value to rest.

Pivot presets can now be animated.

Re-enabled drag & drop for objects in Pose Mode.

Add option to choose which inputs auto-create an animation track: - Bone transform (always required) - Object transform - Object transform + deform - Any input

Adjust input behavior in Animation Mode (unless auto-track is enabled): - replace the key button by a button to create the track, in this state changing the input value will affect the rest value - Once the track created, input changes only affect that animation and behave with the normal key button - Clicking the input reset button removes the track

Add options for a single animation and reset button for vector inputs (position, scale, etc.) instead of one per axis

Safest way to save and load projects

Prevent sub windows to minimize and some of them to maximize when not necessary

Added object rename in menu option with an available shortcut

Improved images loading speed

Improved sprite sheet loading speed and fixed image mipmap generation

Mouse now wrap when moving or rotating the view

Added undo/redo system on animation advanced selection

Updated translation

Improve animation graph scales and added a key to rescale the graph

Bug fixes

Issue	Reference
Prevent animation length change when updating FPS in Time Mode.	Link
Dropdown input animation now behaves like constant values.	Link
Fixed multi-selected objects creating invalid animation tracks.	Link
Fixed rest/pose for custom pivot.	(Not Reported)
Set correct Z min / Z max for objects.	Link
Fixed spin buttons (number inputs without range).	(Not Reported)
Prevent deleted or converted objects from still reserving their unique name.	Link
Fixed not auto add key preventing to update input value.	(Not Reported)
Fixed missing lock ratio and wrong min and max for animation input.	(Not Reported)
Fixed manual snap.	Link
Fixed linked keys.	(reported by DM)
Prevents keyframes to move below position 0.	Link
Added a security on undo/redo keyframes position (it could fail because of some not yet moving keyframe takes place of another one).	(Not Reported)
Empty aseprite file when exported without animation.	Link
Animation advanced selection flips (similar issue than before mentioned).	(Not Reported)
Fixed set default bezier handles in the settings.	(Not Reported)

Hello! Here is the stable version with improvements to the bones system and mesh deformation.

Roadmap and news

Documentation and tutorials

Changes

(RC2 to Stable) Added a smooth tool for polygon deformation mode.

(RC1 to RC2) Rewrote bones auto-weight. Improved weight map computation and bone area influence. Separated polygons now prioritize bones in their area. Before:

After:

Improved rest/pose system with a toggle mode to allow changing the rest or pose transform via the interface.

Multi-selection is now allowed for bone weights.

Improved display for selected bones and weight points.

Hello! Finally the stable version of the huge migration of PixelOver to the next major version of Godot, going from Godot 3.5.1 to Godot 4.4.

As previously announced, this update is more than just a migration. It introduces 2 major new features: the ability to add shaders to individual objects and blending mode.

Roadmap and news

Documentation and tutorials

New features

Blending mode for layers and 2d objects.

Art by maxtron95

Per-object shaders. This feature is especially useful for tasks like adding a separated outline to each element of a bone chain.

Art by Oce33

Allow parent-child layers.

And multiple layers to be a clipping mask under one layer.

Changes

Added cleanEdge as pixel scaling algorithm.

Dialogs are now using sub-windows, which will allow floating panels in the future.

Bug fixes

(RC2 to Stable) Readded section names in the Create Object dialog.	Link
(RC2 to Stable) Fixed constrained bones losing synchronization when moving the target object to a different parent.	Link
(RC2 to Stable) Fixed incorrect synchronization between 3D object input rotation and its actual rotation.	(Not reported)
