Autotile Tilesets

^{Home | Tilesets}

When designing tiles for things like walls, paths and platforms the artist will often need to produce edge pieces and corner pieces. The design process becomes inherently more complicated when inner joins are needed due to the quantity of permutations that are introduced. Autotiles provide an easier way for artists to create such tilesets.

Child Topics:

• Autotile Artwork
  The artwork of an autotile comprises of several key tiles that are each divided into 4 sub-tiles. These sub-tiles can then be automatically mixed and matched to form tiles that better fit other orientations.

• Autotile Expansion
  Tile artwork for each available orientation is automatically pieced together from the input autotile artwork. Borders can be automatically added around each tile to counteract the effects of edge bleeding.

• Working with Autotile Tilesets
  Autotile tilesets are created using the Create Brush / Tileset window which can be managed using the tileset designer. Both autotile and regular tileset brushes can then be created from the tileset using the brush creator interface.

• Autotile Brushes
  Autotile brushes are effectively a subset of oriented brushes which automatically pick tiles based upon their orientation with surrounding tiles. Autotile brushes are only able to paint procedural tiles.
