Well, that question came up to my mind.
Mainly for those who frequently making swords or weapons needing 45° rotation, how do you actually do that ?

I myself use paint.NET
After I've done what I want on my weapon, and when I'm satisfyed enough, I copy-paste it in paint.NET and actually have 4 steps. Might be a long process, but it's how I get quite perfect 45° rotations.

Step1: I only keep the shape (outlines) of the sword, paste it in p.net and rotate it manually to 45°
Step2: I take the clean sword again, and now only keep the texturing inside.
Then I paste it in p.net and rotate it aswell.
Step3: I look at both results, try to mix them in while looking at the clean sword.
Step4: Then play around with pixels, can take quite a lot of time if I'm tired =<, 'till I get a nice result.

So, how do you process to rotate your pixels ?
