PiXXL is yet another titler, albeit a special one: it lets you draw your own cute blocky, pixely, colorful 16x16 icon.
Features
- 16x16 pixel icon you can draw yourself
- 8 customizable colors
- Upload existing images
- Download your own creations
How To Use
-
Attach the PiXXL Titler object.
It is in an invisible object that will attach to your skull by default.
Your drawing will appear above it as a floating text (like a "regular" titler, except that it will use block graphics to display a pixely icon).
-
To draw your icon, attach the PiXXL HUD.
It uses a web interface displayed via Shared Media. If the user interface
doesn't load automatically, hover over the HUD until the viewer's web
toolbar appears, and click its "Home" button.
-
The left pane contains the colors and action buttons (clear canvas,
upload image, download image).
The selected color is highlighted by a thick white border.
-
Click the triangle in the lower right corner of the color pot to change
the color. Note that already drawn pixels in that color will change
their color as well.
-
Activate the checkerboard color pot to clear pixels.
-
Draw on the canvas in the usual way.
Your titler will be updated as you draw.
-
When you upload an image, it will be resized to 16x16 pixels and
quantized to use at most 8 colors (so not every image will result
in a good icon).
-
You can also open the web interface in a browser. To do that, click
the respective button on the viewer's web toolbar while you're hovering
over the HUD.
You can use this to share your PiXXL URL if a friend would like to
draw your PiXXL icon.
-
Detach the HUD when you're satisfied with your creation.
