The easiest modeling software I've ever used, def get if you want to make low poly models!
acaba sendo pior fazer um modelo low poly nesse do que no blender.
the most fun i've had 3D modelling, very excited for its followup
A breath of fresh air. Fun to use. However, I clicked the new file button by accident and lost my first model. Still, great program. I love the square aspect ratio and the dithering shading effect. Would recommend, just remember to save
I love this! I can tell it's a simple tool and I'm excited for the PicoCAD 2 release. I've only made about 3 simple models but the small and simple GUI has helped me make models unlike other software. The Pico-8 style user interface also helps with familiarity and learning whilst the included manual helped miles. My only issue is the iffy rendering and what you're selecting being confusing. 8.5/10
lots of fun, its fairly easy to use :)
I made a wall and also a funny fish, worth it
Pretty Cool software If you like PS1 Style. if you Want a better PS1 Style maybe Choose picoCAD 2
e
this is a great thing. bought this because i am good with cad software, and need to make models for my videogame. for now i find the pixelated look of it a bit confusing, but i get that pico restricts the resolution. cant wait for picoCAD2 to come out!
