This week's update came with many quality of life features. These features included recoloring of voxels and the ability to select a color from a voxel in the scene. Additionally, a color picker, tool picker, and the ability to save and load different scenes was added. With the addition of more tools, it made sense to remap the mouse buttons as well.
Below are the new tool icons, names, keyboard shortcuts, and descriptions.
The pencil places a voxel with the user's primary color relative to the face under the cursor.
The eraser removes the voxel directly under the cursor.
The eye dropper sets the user's primary color to that of the voxel directly under the cursor.
The brush changes the color of the voxel under the cursor to that of the user's primary color.
The tool picker allows the user a visual alternative to selecting their current tool. The user simply clicks the tool they wish to use.
The color picker allows users the ability to pick a primary and secondary color. All tools that utilize color, perform their functions based off of the primary color. A keyboard shortcut (x) allows users to switch between their primary and secondary colors. In addition, the black cursor indicates the position of the user's primary color.
The camera controls have been remapped to the following
Right click to rotate
Middle click to pan
Scroll wheel to zoom
Buttons at the top of the screen have been added to save and load different scenes. These scenes are stored using a custom file format that we're calling vox format. The format consists of storing a 3D array of colors, and interpreting that array on runtime, in order to load files.
