Deluxe Poly #wip - work on text box is going ok. I'm coming to realise I'm basically going to have to re-write notepad.exe but that's ok. Deluxe Text anyone ???
A dialog box with Hello World in it and a button labelled Button 1
Deluxe Poly #wip - working some more on my UI toolkit, adding support for an editable text widget which will have a ton of uses in the software. Having written something like this before, it's a surprisingly complex thing once you factor in all the little details and features these boxes have. SFSG!
hah! The amount of stuff depending on an edit text box is incalculable. For playback I want a way to set global rate and frame timings - so edit box is #1 on my list today 💪
This seems to be doing the rounds still, which is nice. I think I accidentally reposted this preview at some point after release, I'm blaming the service issues 😁
They are out now, the release post is below!

Deluxe Poly but the toolbox is on the left side.
Deluxe Poly #wip - dpaint users of a nervous disposition, please look away 😅 I added a 'toolbox on the left' option, in case you prefer this side. #pixelart #lowpoly
Did you know: The chainsaw in DOOM was modelled off of Tom Hall’s Eager Beaver chainsaw. It leaked oil, and so was kept in a bowl in the id offices. Tom still has it!💛

Black and white terrain.
Here is the raw terrain elevation data, mapping the min/max range from black to white.
West coast of Canada from above.
Mount Fuji and surrounding area.
Thanks. I find these giant erosion features very humbling 😌

22.5N, 30E to 45N, 60E
Zooming out a bit ! ( area 22.5N, 30E to 45N, 60E )
27N 86E
Mt Everest in the top-right getting the white hot treatment.
Map of 31N, 35E, the Dead Sea
The land at 31N 35E being 400m below sea level both blows my mind and complicates my terrain colouring algorithm 😅
Yes, once I figure that out :) Simple polygons are fine too, and dots and line segments for any noisy fringes.
Image of the terrain of Hawaii with bands from green to orange indicating 500m steps.
Experimenting with digital elevation maps again and made a little tool that takes 16-bit elevation images and makes visible 8-bit PNGs with 500 m elevation bands, makes it much easier to see what's going on. Here's (most of) Hawaii. I used rampgenerator.com to help.
Reminds me that I've got a nice little MW2 wireframe painted up all glow-in-the-dark like.
Some of you may have seen my C3 thread about it, but for those who haven't- I'm developing a new, CLI-based debugging SPC player called Apollo!
It features a ARAM/DSP memory viewer, SPC700 code debugger, breakpoints, Script700 support & FIR EQ visualizer
Give it a try!

There's two options atm. RGB or Lab colour space distance. These were all done with RGB.
An apple with painterly blotches
The Rock C64 edition
A single traced colour plane.
Deluxe Poly #wip - experiments with turning photos into low color pixel vector traces. Not sure how useful it'll be yet, but it could be ! #pixelart #lowpoly
A raw photo of a closeup of an apple.
Close up of the apple in pixelated mode. It's pretty close but definitely pixel looking
A shot of more of the apple for context.
Deluxe Poly #wip - Began experiments with a function that takes the trace photo (here, a red apple) and samples it at canvas resolution. I've incorporated that into a new "Pixelated" mode for the trace display. It uses 3x3 sub-sampling to remove aliasing -- This is Step 1 towards auto-tracing !
They jammed their own radar.
Haha come on this is AWESOME :D :D

An extreme zoom-in on what looks like a pixel-based sprite, but is actually a vector-based group of objects in Deluxe Poly!
Hehehehe vectors
Hehe
I believe I fixed "instance preservation" when duplicating frames. It may still be a problem if you copy&paste though. I'll take a look 👍
