BlueprintZ - simple , smart & fun modeling extension.

What is BluerintZee?
3d polygonal modeler inside unity editor.

Why another 3d modeler?
-3d modeling tools are in essence click positions and drag directions. e.g edge split tool is a click position on an edge and edge slide tool is a drag direction.
-so why hiding these useful positions and directions behind toolbar icons and shortcut keys?
-bpzee puts the modeling tools you need under your mouse cursor.

that is awsome! like solidworks

 

Arches and Virtual Mirror
-holding control key and dragging an edge transform it into an arch.
-hovering over a face and typing m mirror the model around the hovered face

 

very USEFULL!!! Nice Work.
does it work for exsisting models too ( fbx, obj, 3ds... ) ?

 

it can not edit existing models "for now".but you can export your 3d model in obj for further editing.

 

It reminds me of Sketchup.

Very cool.

When can we see some materials on them?

 

Now
drag any material including substances and drop it on a face.
hitting tab key while over the face will select the texture tile under the mouse pointer and you can edit the uvs with the familiar Rect tool
[edit] lighter version below 4 megs

 

gif size is above limit here is the link

 

bpz is more efficient because there is no tool switching during modeling and pushpull tool works with edges and vertices

 

Well, I think you just made a sale.

I have a copy of probuilder, which I'm happy with, but I really think this looks a lot simpler for fast prototyping.

If I can make a few feature requests though?

Could you allow a default material?

Also, could you create a material alignment tool, similar to ones in build engine, world craft, and hammer?

You know, you set the position of a material on one surface, then hit the align button on the surface, and all the surfaces that share an edge with the face and have the same material line up with that one another. And then the new face does the same for all faces that share an edge and a material with it, which in turn does the same.

So, like if you had a cube, and all the sides were the same material, but were positioned differently, you could hit the align button and the materials would all line up.

 

Good job. Looking very good!
When do you think it'll be ready for publishing?
Will you be giving a .dll or the source files?
Is this editor only? any possibility to work in play mode?

 

thanks

I'm a not an artist so feature requests are welcome.

seems useful and it shouldn't be hard for semi co-planer faces.added to road map.

 

glad you like it.

shouldn't be long hopefully.

dll only for the editor version. bpz output is a gameobject with a meshfilter and meshrenderer components so none of my code will be in your game.

real-time version is into consideration from the start.but it will be a separate product so I kept the use of editor specific classes to minimum for example the undo system is command based and works in editor and real-time.
when released it will contain the source.

 

Control Drag tool not only for arches
if the edge is a part of edge ring interesting columns will result
and control dragging face centroid will make a dome

 

Intellisense for modeling

last week I have been working on the tangential drag tools (offset and uniform scale) , extend tool (the green axis parallel to normal) and finding the way to interface them intuitively.
what do you think?

 

Automatic bridging

 

cool tool.

 

Great tool and very handy.
I like the simplicity most *_*
Is it supporting grid movement?

 

What are the benefits of using this tool instead of Probuilder?
