dude SO awesome to see you playing with crocotile. You should post this kind of content into the Game Dev community that i created.
i have applied for OCD incubation which means the posts could start getting decent sized upvotes. i think hive needs a proper game dev community like skatehive is for skateboarding.
the trick to placing tiles is that its all relative to the camera. so you have to move the camera around a lot. he made it so that it feels like you are playing a game when building i think..
there are lots of tricks to learn with crocotile and how the UVs (tilesets) can be dispalyed on the mesh, like how to repeat the single tile on a large UV face. otherwise it creates tons of small square vertices that take up space and cause problems in-game when the player skates on them.
have you found the crocotile youtube? its very helpful because all the videos are made by the guy who developed crocotile.

for gnar world, what i do is, import a png 256x 256 to procreate, and then add a grid to the project in 16x16 and then you can draw by hand the art, keeping it in the squares and then its super easy and fun to make 3d models with the hand drawn art.
the use of double-sided faces are cool too for 2-d flat 3d models
haha im excited to see what you make with this
