I've seen the linux version (available on itch.io) run on the steam deck but haven't tried my self. Lots of keyboard and mouse required to have a good time. :) It does export to ob…

Wow, that makes me so happy to hear. I'm no 3D modeler myself so it is very much built from a beginner/2d perspective.

Thanks! A bit fiddly sometimes but very rewarding

Unfortunately I know next to nothing about animating so I am not much help here. That said I didn't know anything about 3d modelling when I made picoCAD so maybe there will be anot…

It has definitely crossed my mind. Main reason I haven't looked into it is Picotron's (so far) lack of ability to export native binaries.

pico8 has the ability to export anything you make into native binaries. Simple as that :)

Hallo! Johan the dev here, thanks for all the positive responses. Happy to answer any questions about picoCAD if there are any. You can also check out https://picoCAD.net for more …

Thanks! Yeah that’d be nice. It’s a challenge to balance flexibility vs simplicity and I tend to go for the latter. You can always change the speed and make some notes longer to ge…

Thanks! Not sure I follow regarding the name. It is a cad program, it is tiny, it is built with pico - picoCAD! :)

Not really, I think you would have more success with sketch up or similar

It’s a combination of things I guess. The 3D renderer is one bit that it complicated in itself, but most of the code is actually UI.

Haha, youre welcome. Hope you put the sprites to good use!

Thanks! That’s actually where this project started. The synth part was added to get some meaning to it :)

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it. I can totally understand where you’re coming from, but the program is not designed to be efficient. I think of it more as a toy, or and inte…

Weirdly, this project started not from the audio end, but with the physics simulation of the cables. Building a synth came later when I needed something to do with the cables. :) B…

Some of the feedback I’ve received for picoCAD is that for people who aren’t accustomed to modelling find it really easy to get started. The constraints and the restrictions makes …

There’s a built in exporter for OBJ/MTL, and the base format should be fairly easy to convert in to anything if you’re up for it. :D

A spinning gif is the main export function in picoCAD. Check the #picoCAD hashtag for some amazing models built by the community. Animation is not built in, but you can exploit the…

Heh, thanks! I’ve been making games for 30 years and had a lot of practice. I’m a massive fan of fully integrated dev environments and started with AMOS on the Amiga, used flash A …

Aw thanks! Yes, allegro was my first foray in to making games in c. Used it extensively 98-02 iirc. :)

Hello! I’m the creator of picoCAD - thanks for the nice comments. Happy to answer any questions about it if you have any. If not, feel free to check out my patreon! :D https://www.…

Yes! picoCAD comes with an exporter that can export to MTL/OBJ which can be imported anywhere basixally
