SFML projects / Make It Pixel! A pixel art generator
« on: July 15, 2022, 09:14:05 am »
Hello, everyone!
After some time looking for pixel art generators, I realized none had all of the features I wanted for mine: so I decided to create it myself![Wink ;)](https://www.sfml-dev.org/forums/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
It is called Make It Pixel! and here you have an example of what it does.

Current features
* Intelligent and customizable handling of color and palettes.
* Configure color selection during downscaling.
* Configure color quantization and dithering.
* Fully customizable both by file and console.
* Process dozens of files with in a single run.
* Fully documented.
Future features
* Parameters to generate pixel art outlines using border detection.
* Add options to apply blur on a preprocessing step, to reduce noise.
I used SFML as the graphic library, to manage color and images.
Although I've still not made the release, because I want to clean it up a bit, it's ready to use!
