This adds Blob to the post effects stack. To improve the look of the sauce, I navigated to Effect > Add Layer Effect > Distort > Blob. On a new vector layer, I drew an S curve using the Shards sub-grid. An A-maize-ing EffectĬreating gloopy hot sauce couldn’t be simpler. Garnishing with OutlinesĪfter adding some trixel texture to the Burrito filling, the Outline tool (O) was used to create salad elements, extend the avocado peel around the edge and add ankle width to the Burrito babe character.Ĭonsider the versatility of the Outline tool when the shard grid doesn’t accommodate your trixel requirements. To make shapes and angles more defined, I added highlights and shadows to the characters by adjusting the Value slider (circled) in the Color tab. Shards combines all trixel grids into one fine grid. I refined the sketch further using the Shards sub-grid (alt+5). In this case, the lower legs are one trixel wide while the ankles have no trixel width. Try to keep the level of detail low and simple. With an isometric view in mind, I roughly sketched the Guacboy and Burrito babe characters on a new vector layer using the standard trixel grid (alt+1). The poster will have a Mexican flair, so I’m changing the background color to a bold yellow (hex: e4f75f). I enlarged the canvas to 100×100 Hexels in the Canvas tab (top right) to allow room for moving elements around later. I’m going to start with the Trixels template, which uses a crisp vector based triangular grid. The image would include bold use of color, an unusual perspective, as well as original and imported text elements.
HEXELS EFFECTS MOVIE
My intentions for this design were to create a Mexican food themed, action romance poster for a fake movie entitled “Guacboy and the Habanero Desert“. Using various grids and vector based tools, graphic designers and illustrators can build up striking art for nearly any design project. Then export an SVG or layered PSD of your canvas for final touch-ups elsewhere.One of the many opportunities of creating art using Hexels is the ability to design eye-catching posters, book covers and art for branding purposes. Add a pinch of procedural with a library of real-time post effects and shaders. Keep organized with layers, masks and groups. Assemble your canvas out of existing images and animations. Hexels is a versatile tool for the graphic artist working with multiple applications, at a print-ready resolution. Whether you are creating textiles or laying out an elaborate mosaic, Hexels can help. Draft your own grids with a powerful custom grid designer. Explore advanced grid types like Voronoi. Paint tessellating patterns on an endless canvas. Hexels is the perfect tool for exploring tiling designs and geometries. Or tell a hand-drawn tale with a simple flipbook animation. Send shapes and colors twirling with layer transforms. Breathe subtle motion into a still image with post effects and motion curves. Animateīuild a world and bring it to life with the Hexels animation timeline. And because Hexels renders everything on the GPU, you'll see a pixel-perfect preview on the canvas as you paint. Advanced rasterization tools provide vector alignment, pixel-perfect isometric art, pixel scaling, and antialiasing at any export resolution.
HEXELS EFFECTS FULL
Hexels gives you full control over the vector-to-pixel rendering process. Block out whole cities in vector form, then dive in for the details. Carve pixel-perfect trim into isometric art. Complement angular Hexel art with soft, sweeping brushwork. Pixels and Trixels living in harmony! Hexels lets you combine layers of vector and pixel art on the same canvas. Raise walls, carve mountains, bend perspective to your will and build impossible wonders. Constructįor the craftsman looking to build worlds, Hexels provides a set of grids and guides for drafting all forms of isometric art. Export a sprite sheet for every princess in every castle. Set your canvas in motion with the animation timeline. Keep track of colors and gradients with the palette. Make full use of the same great drawing tools. The grid-based canvas in Hexels is a natural fit for the forward-thinking pixel artist.

It is a new kind of workflow that's intuitive and easy to pick up by a beginner, and a versatile tool in the hands of a pro. The Hexels grid allows artists to create complex vector designs with the stroke of a brush. HexelateĪt the heart of Hexels lies a paintable grid of geometric shapes: a tessellating canvas built of hexagons, triangles, squares, and custom polygons. Marmoset Hexels™ is a unique, grid-based painting tool for vector art, pixel art, design, and animation.
