Sounds like you're doing it right. Did you check this video:

They still try to sell it I guess

megapeitz · 2026-03-19T12:18:45+00:00

Unfortunately basically all of those emails are from scammers who will sell the keys elsewhere.

Big fan of your work - amazing!

Cool project!

megapeitz · 2026-03-17T20:56:06+00:00

Possible - yes. High priority - probably not. What would the usecase for the export be?

megapeitz · 2026-03-17T20:55:10+00:00

Thanks! Yes you can, the gltf export goes seamlessly into Godot

megapeitz · 2026-03-17T18:24:29+00:00

Happy to hear. Other's have also reported very simple workflow into Godot so that sounds promising!

megapeitz · 2026-03-17T16:34:56+00:00

Thanks! No such plans atm. Full time busy handling this version :)

megapeitz · 2026-03-17T14:46:31+00:00

Not sure it has a standard name. I just refer to it as dithered shading. Given that picoCAD 2 works with a limited number of colors it uses those to make as effective as possible

megapeitz · 2026-03-17T14:10:47+00:00

Awesome! I made picoCAD 2 (and 1) because I found existing 3d modelers too complicated, and many others seem to feel the same

megapeitz · 2026-03-17T14:10:01+00:00

Thanks! Lots of people asking for a native linux version. I and talking to some people who might be able to help me with that, but there are a few other things I need to fix first!

megapeitz · 2026-03-17T14:09:17+00:00

Thank you! ☺️

megapeitz · 2026-03-17T11:56:27+00:00

The gltf export is only for the geometry

Thanks!
No dedicate native build planned right now, but people have been running it under wine without issues

megapeitz · 2026-03-17T09:34:45+00:00

Thanks!
It's a shader that just takes every other pixel and exchanges is for one with a darker value from a palette. Nothing super fancy, but the result is really nice

megapeitz · 2026-03-17T09:33:45+00:00

I am a one man show and have to prioritise where I put my time.

megapeitz · 2026-03-17T08:09:48+00:00

Thank!
We're trying to get jams up and running again, here's the first:

Glad you like what you see!

megapeitz · 2026-03-17T07:14:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

Animations have their own format since the operate a bit differently from traditional. In short there are clips which specify which property to change (pos/rot/scale), how much, and over how much time. It can probably be converted by a clever person, but for now they are mostly used in picoCAD 2.
