Import
Files can be imported from the top bar withFile > Open or by drag'n'drop files above project tabs to start a new project, or under project tabs to add them to the current project.
Here are the supported files which can be imported into PixelOver.
Pixelover project
PixelOver project files use the.pixelover extension.
By default, the file contains all the resource file data used in the project so the file can be moved on your computer without breaking the project. But in anyresource settings or in the globalsettingsimport tab, you can change thesaving mode input fromPath and data toPath only.
Pixelover shader
PixelOver shader files use the.poshader extension. They are used to store layer effects presets.
Image
PixelOver supports main image formats for importation (.png,.jpg/jpeg,.bmp,.webp). Importing such files will create animage object. Multiple images can be imported, and the software will ask if these images should be separated or combined into ananimated image object.
In this dialog, the order of images can be modified with the Sort menu or through drag'n'drop.
Sprite sheet
Sprite sheet images can be imported from the top bar withFile > Open sprite sheet and automatically split into multiple images.
Advanced features are available to handle sprite sheets containing margin and/or padding.
Animated image
For now, onlyGIF is supported as an animated image format. Importing such files will create ananimated image object.
3D model
Files containing a single mesh (.obj and.vox) are supported for importation. Importing such files will create a3D model object.
Materials
Materials are stored in formats that support multiple materials (.mtl). For.obj files,.mtl files with the same file path will be automatically imported, or you can directly import both at the same time.
Once imported, materials are editable in PixelOver. You can follow thematerial editing tutorial to learn how to edit them.
3D Scene
Formats that can store multiple 3D models (.gltf/glb,.fbx, and.dae) are supported. Importing such files will create a3D scene object.
