Marmoset Hexels™ is a grid-based painting tool for vector art, pixel art, design, and animation. A geometric canvas grid lets artists create complex pixel and vector designs with the stroke of a brush.
The software's paintable grid of geometric shapes, including hexagons, triangles, squares, and custom polygons, provides artists with a novel, tessellating canvas to create complex vector designs and pixel art. This grid-based workflow is intuitive for beginners yet versatile for experienced users.
Users can make full use of the same great painting tools, whether working in a pixel-based or vector-based medium. The software allows artists to seamlessly combine layers of vector and pixel art on the same canvas.
The comprehensive animation toolset includes an intuitive timeline, support for layer transforms, and the ability to add subtle motion through post-effects and motion curves. Users can create everything from simple flipbook animations to more complex, hand-drawn animations.
The software offers a variety of grid types, including hexagonal, triangular, and Voronoi grids, as well as a custom grid designer. This allows artists to explore a wide range of tiling designs and geometric patterns, making it particularly well-suited for creating isometric art and textures.
The software provides a real-time, pixel-perfect preview of the canvas as the user paints, allowing for precise control over the vector-to-pixel rendering process. Advanced rasterization tools, such as vector alignment, pixel scaling, and antialiasing, enable high-quality exports at any resolution.
Reviews describe the software's interface as relatively simple and intuitive, making it accessible for beginners while still providing a wealth of powerful features. Users often report being able to start creating content within a few hours of use.
While primarily marketed towards pixel artists, vector illustrators, and game developers, the software is described as a versatile tool that can be used for a wide range of applications, including graphics design, animation, and video production.
