Love picocad.

Now that picotron is ramping up which basically offers a superset in terms of features compared to pico8: will there be an expanded picotron version of picocad?

[johanpeitz]

It has definitely crossed my mind. Main reason I haven't looked into it is Picotron's (so far) lack of ability to export native binaries.

Hey, been meaning to try picoCAD for a while now this might push me over the edge :)

For my curiosity: How are you distributing this? Is it the Web version of the pico8 game or did you rewrite it in love or something? Or does pico8 allows to embed their VM when distributing on Steam?

[johanpeitz]

pico8 has the ability to export anything you make into native binaries. Simple as that :)

Does it have steam deck support? Can you export to .stl?

[johanpeitz]

I've seen the linux version (available on itch.io) run on the steam deck but haven't tried my self. Lots of keyboard and mouse required to have a good time. :)

It does export to obj/mtl which is usually importable into most other softwares

This looks so cool!

Is there a workflow you would recommend for creating animations once the model has been created in picoCAD?

[johanpeitz]

Unfortunately I know next to nothing about animating so I am not much help here. That said I didn't know anything about 3d modelling when I made picoCAD so maybe there will be another tool in the future :D

Jesus fucking christ, you're good at this.
