This program is shockingly basic and is definately not worth its price, or even half its price. The "Paint" aspect is sub par in comparison to other art programs.Īnd we won't even touch on the pixel art aspects, because basically any art or photo editing program has the ability to make pixel art. The animation aspect is a cool addition, but when the core art creation aspect is limited, it ruins any additions. The ui is clunky and lacks any natural fluidity. The inability to actively modify and adjust triangle shape and placement, is a serious pitfall. Just look at the sample images, if you try any other angle, your image will not work. You are basically limited to one of two view angles, either 2D, or 45 degree angle. Now there is a free draw tool, where you can fix those things by drawing over top on a new layer, but then it ruins the aesthetic, and at that point you would be better off using a different program entirely. Oh and that other eye? Yeah just save yourself the trouble and give up now. That half of the face gets to be either straight edge flat, lumpy, or jagged edge and saw-like. That low poly face you are trying to make? Yeah, that angle doesn’t work. Want to add a little bit here, or shave off a little more there? Too bad, we only work in BIG CHUNKS here!! Another 20 minutes and you’ve already discovered the limitations of the program, eat. 20 minutes later and you are familiarized with the ui, time to get creating! After selecting the largest preset (1920x1080), in order to give yourself plenty of play space, you are then welcomed by clunky navigation controls, but that’s okay, after enough time, any user interface and hotkeys can be learned to make program navigation more fluid. First launching the program, you are welcomed by a limited amount of canvas presets, most of them are a tiny canvas size, but I guess that’s understandable. I expected to really like this program, the idea of creating low poly art quickly and with ease really appealed to me as an artist, however I really can't recommend this product. Stay away if you plan to make anything over 800 x 800 pixels in size. The animation tool is perfect for tiny sprite animation. Great for small sized sprite creation and SMALL character creation. The functionally of the program is a watered down edition.Īlthough with that said, credit where credit is due. I've used Adobe suite for over 10 years now and it's a cheap knock off that barely works. Marmoset clearly states that if you are familiar with Adobe suite you can learn the functionality of this program.nope. It won't scale any imported image correctly even if the pixel ratio on the imported image matches the canvas size perfectly and always imports in some strange scale box that can't be adjusted.Ī lack of tutorial functionally forces the user to spend hours doing 3rd party research just to learn where everything is. It only likes to work in a perspective that it comes pre loaded in and bugs out when you try to adjust the ratio. Nothing but scaling issues, bugs on the interface and the program just forces you to use it's own measuring system even though it claims to have pixel ratio functionality. A shame too because the program looked promising.
