ProBuilder / ProGrid / PolyBrush Resource Thread

Are you looking for where to get started with the great world building and level design tools that are ProBuilder, ProGrids, and PolyBrush? Well, look no further! Below are some of the best places to help you design, prototype and rapidly playtest your levels right in Unity.

If you've seen a community tutorial, resource or FAQ for any of these tools please share them in the thread below!

ProBuilder
ProBuilder is a unique hybrid of 3D modeling and level design tools, optimized for building simple geometry but capable of detailed editing and UV unwrapping as needed. ProBuilder lets you quickly prototype structures, complex terrain features, vehicles, and weapons; or lets you make custom collision geometry, trigger zones, or navmeshes.

You can find the ProBuilder documentation here. Below is a quick video to help you get started.

ProGrids
ProGrids gives you both a visual and functional grid, which snaps on all 3 axis. ProGrids enables speed and quality, making level construction incredibly fast, easy, and precise. It is especially handy for modular or tile-based environments, but you will find that it significantly speeds up workflow and increases quality for all types of work.

You can find the ProGrids documentation here. Below is a quick video to help you get started.

PolyBrush
Polybrush enables you to blend textures and colors, sculpt meshes directly in the Unity editor. Polybrush is in beta, and just got a new feature in its latest iteration, it now allows to scatter objects in the world with highly customizable brushes.

You can find the Polybrush documentation here. Below is a quick video to help you get started.

We had left the thread open for anyone who finds great resources to share it with the rest of the community, not ask for feature requests or report bugs.

Any off topic threads will be moved.

 

The Brackeys team recently put out some videos on getting started with ProGrids and ProBuilder! Check them out.

 

it was a frequently asked question.

 

New to game dev and the Protools. I love Probuilder and Grids but that Polybrush.... I have days and hours spent figuring out how to get it to work. I am sure it is simple to most but just coming in and all these assets and tools working together is difficult. I now watch the hype with Gaia and so now it's on to the next A$$et.

 

So where do I go to report a bug in probuilder?

 

Will progrids have its defaults changed once it becomes a package? I don't use it because it interferes with my default scene navigation. It should never do that. I shouldn't have to change it either...

 

Can you give a rough time when probuilder 4 will be released with the scripting API? Probuilder is the most useful thing for unity. I can't wait for using it with scripts in my games. Thank you so much!

 

So long as just adding grids means I don't change how I use regular Unity (but that's obvious, obviously) - btw thanks for your dedication and skills, appreciated and helps my project!

 

Just updated to 2018.3 which said it has ProBuilder 4 but I can't seem to find it? In the Package Manager 3.0.9 is still the latest.

 

in my Proj.Manager too. May be in GitHub has been added later.

 

Same, I thought there'd be a Window I could open or something, but nada. Package Manager has 3.0.9 as the latest.

Also, having removed the ProBuilder 3.0.9 from my project, I notice that the ProBuilder namespace doesn't exist, which, if it were part of the source code it would...right?

 

Yep still 3.09 though in the hub you now have ProBuilder, ProBuilder Advanced, ProBuilder Basic, ProGrids, ProGrids 2!
What is going on Unity?!

 

PB4 mentioned in 2018.3 blog post!

As i see that thread go next w/o me. I glad to see answer for interesting for all question.
But i find answer (in (PB4 theme) as we need add PB4 preview to project.
For this need:
1) Find in project folder root file .\packajes\manifest.json
2) After this add into next strings (with replace text if need) into file start

Code (CSharp):

1. {
2. "registry": "https://staging-packages.unity.com
3. "dependencies
4. "com.unity.probuilder": "4.0.0-preview.34
5. --- }
6. }

After this actions in PM PB4 must be added to project

 

if my think correct, this s one from axis of progrid & this show/hide mode may be selected in progrid properties (if other axis then must be other axis grid color).

 

Return pls is normal actions for shapes window (w/o alt) or add this option for preferences Probuilder window
