About
Marmoset Hexels is a feature-rich, grid-based drawing tool. Powerful Shape mode gives you complete control over multifaceted sub-networks. The utility helps you create isometric designs, complex geometric patterns, and also work in an abstract artistic style. The user interface is fully customizable to suit specific requirements.
Hexelate
At the heart of Hexels is a colorable grid of geometric shapes: a tiled canvas built from hexagons, triangles, squares and custom polygons. The Hexels grid allows artists to create complex vector designs with just one brush stroke. This is a new type of workflow that is intuitive and easy to learn for a beginner, as well as a versatile tool in the hands of a professional.
Pixelate
The grid-based canvas in Hexels is a natural fit for the forward-thinking pixel artist. Take full advantage of the same great drawing tools. Follow the colors and gradients using a palette. Set your canvas in motion with an animation timeline. Export a sprite sheet for each princess in each castle.
Construct
For the crafter looking to build worlds, Hexels provides a set of grids and guides for drawing all forms of isometric art. Build walls, carve mountains, bend perspective to your will and build impossible wonders.
Detail
Pixels and Trixels live in harmony! Hexels allows you to combine vector and pixel art layers on a single canvas. Complement Hexel's angular art with soft, sweeping brush strokes. Cut pixel perfect finish into isometric art. Block out entire cities in vector form, then dive into the details.
Rasterize
Hexels gives you complete control over the vector-pixel rendering process. Advanced rasterization tools provide vector alignment, pixel perfect isometry, pixel scaling and anti-aliasing at any export resolution. And because Hexels renders everything on the GPU, you'll see a perfect pixel-perfect preview of the canvas as you draw.
Animate
Build a world and bring it to life with the Hexels animation timeline. Breathe subtle movement into a still image with post-effects and motion curves. Send shapes and colors rotating using layer transformations. Or tell a hand-drawn fairy tale with a simple flipbook animation.
Pattern
Hexels is the perfect tool for learning tile design and geometry. Draw mosaic patterns on an endless canvas. Explore advanced mesh types such as Voronoi. Create your own grids with the powerful custom grid builder. Whether you're creating textiles or laying out complex mosaics, Hexels can help.
Design
Hexels is a versatile tool for the graphic artist working across multiple applications, with print-ready resolution. Build your canvas from existing images and animations. Stay organized with layers, masks, and groups. Add a pinch of procedurality with a library of post-effects and real-time shaders. Then export to SVG or layered PSD of your canvas for finishing touches elsewhere.
