PixelBasher comes with a massive set of custom crafted Pixel Art parts. These parts are all auto-tiling and can be dragged and resized without appearing stretched.
One of the project's primary goals is to supply users with enough unique parts to build whatever they have on their mind. We treat the library like a collection of LEGO bricks. You can never have enough different parts! That is why we strive to keep adding brushes as the project progresses.
PixelBasher is a pixel art focused tool. That's why it has several color based magic tricks up it's sleeve.
Documents have an adjustable color limit. Since the brushes themselves can have many more colors, the combination leads to very cool results.
Additionally, color palettes can be set or loaded to customize the output even further.
Objects have various easy to access effects. Adding more dimension and texture to your designs becomes a magic experience.
By clamping transparency values, semi-transparent brushes only render on opaque surfaces!
Of course you can take your PixelBasher creations to any application you'd like.
PixelBasher supports loading color palettes from lospec as well as manual control over posterization and contrast. However, to get that exact look that you are going for you can export .png files and tweak the image in an application of your preference.
