F.A.Q.
How can I build my own pixel art? 🤔
For an easier start get the Starter Kit.
Choose between the sizes:
Do not edit the components! Each one has a unique ID that the plugin uses to identify the correct brick. Otherwise, you'll end up ordering the wrong brick sizes.
2. Changing colors
Change colors via Color styles.
3. Checking your build
After finishing, always check your build! So you can fix loose bricks or increase stability within sections by placing more overlapping bricks.
How do I use the plugin? 🛠
1. Get the plugin here: Link. Once you run it click on “Insert Builder Template”.
This will add two frames and the bricks along with the color styles.
2. When you are happy with your pixel art, select the frame and click "Create Brick List" to generate a list of all the bricks used in your build.
