Each picture is a single frame of the real software, recorded by its own movie maker — no retouching. The art is the developer's, not an artist's: judge the tool, not the art. Screenshots 7 and 8 show tree models generated with an AI tool (Tripo), imported into the Foliage workshop to show it; they are not shipped with the software.

Silent loops recorded from the real software (the island loops use tree models generated with Tripo, see above). The last one is the Cartoon Island example painted in MarchingBlocks and placed by the free Godot plugin inside a game, WaterDrop.

Sculpt one block: every linked copy of a tile follows, and the block becomes an island

Play test: walking the painted beach under a low golden sun

A whole world painted with the tiles of twelve biomes

The same tiles in a Godot game: painted in MarchingBlocks, played in Godot
