IsoGeo - isometric building creator - released July 20th

Post by Blast!10 » Tue Jul 20, 2010 9:11 am

My first attempt at an isometric building creator was an epic fail. I couldn't even figure out how to make the user able to place blocks.
My second attempt resulted in slight success, with lots of problems and inconvenience. I abandoned it when I figured out there was no way to make roofs and ceilings.
My third attempt resulted in perfect success -

I made 3 icons for your program.If you want to use one tell me which and i send the icon to you.
If you dislike all icons or you already have a better icon I'm not upset.

I'll use the top right one - no need to send it to me 'cause I already saved it as a file. Thanks! 8)

Click me to download (old version 1.0).

When the program starts you see nine rows of grid. Press a number key between 1 and 9 (from the row above the letters, not the numpad) to choose a layer. Most of the time you'd want to start from ground level (layer 1), unless you're building a UFO or something.
To build a block, left click on an empty grid square. To delete a block, switch to its layer and right click its top face.
When you're done with your building, press 0 (again, not on the numpad) to see the building in full glory. A "save file" button will appear at the top, letting you perform various actions.

Have fun!

Something I love is how the layers are color-coded. Maybe in a new version, you could make the blocks colored?

I tried to add half-block functionality, it worked fine but failed graphics-wise D:

However I do have a little surprise for you all. Due to popular request, I added a...

Color option. Full true color, 16,777,216 colors. Much prettier buildings.

Click me to download version 1.1.

Before building click on the white square at the top to choose a color. Then choose a layer and start building, just like in the earlier version.
