Though not explicitly related to SLC, the ability to customize background colors for individual cells greatly ~~expanded~~ the scope of SLC art.

Though not explicitly related to SLC, the ability to customize background colors for individual cells greatly expands the scope of SLC art.

Namely, customizable cell backgrounds allow for two diagonal planes touch within a single text cell, which can now contain two separate colors(''the color of the text itself and the color of the background''). This means that SLC's pre-existing ability to make smoother and more complex shape can now be leveraged for 3D art.

The test world [https://ourworldoftext.com/bcolor /bcolor] showcases a variety of 3D creations that can be made by combining the two features.

This update also ~~allowed~~ for increasingly photorealistic image pasters.

=== How to Make a SLC Cube ===

An SLC cube is six characters in width and four in height. The second lowest row(''or second highest, if you're making an upside down cube'') is consisted entirely of the default block "█," while all other layers are made from SLC slope characters. The row directly above(''or below'') it makes use of customized cell backgrounds to facilitate the intersection of three different colored planes.

A standard SLC cube is six characters in width and four in height. The second lowest row(''or second highest, if you're making an upside down cube'') is consisted entirely of the default block "█," while all other layers are made from SLC slope characters. The row directly above(''or below'') it makes use of customized cell backgrounds to facilitate the intersection of three different colored planes.

SLC cubes have three faces, each with their own color. Most artists decorate their cubes with different shades of the same color in order to represent lighting.

=== How to Make an Unicode Cube ===

The second type of OWOT cubes face the screen at a more direct angle. They actually contain no SLC characters whatsoever, but are still included here due to their resemblance to cubes that do ~~include~~ SLC.

The second type of OWOT cubes face the screen at a more direct angle. They actually contain no SLC characters whatsoever, but are still included here due to their resemblance to cubes that do use SLC.

They are created using the default block character "█" along with the triangular unicodes "◢ ◣ ◤ ◥." Critically, the triangles must have the "'''''bold'''''" text decoration, which can be accessed using Ctrl + Q.

~~Unicode~~ cubes are smaller than SLC cubes at five characters wide and three characters tall, but like their SLC counterparts they have three colors for each of their faces.

Standard unicode cubes are smaller than SLC cubes at five characters wide and three characters tall, but like their SLC counterparts they have three colors for each of their faces.

It is important to note that both unicode and SLC cubes can be expanded to any size you want.

=== Place_holdrr ===

[[Placeholder|Place_holdrr]] is an artist of a similar skill level to JRT, but who destroyed most of their reputation during the LaserLime incident. Since then they have been working on rebuilding trust within the community.
