Assets [WIP] Free Prefab Brush

CLICK HERE FOR THE PREFAB BRUSH ​

Hello!

I have a pretty basic prefab brush and I was wondering if I should bother putting it on the asset store as a free asset.



Features:
- Easy-to-use brush gizmo
- Customizable brush size and density
- Random rotation
- Random size between min and max value
- Works on slopes, hills, curved surfaces,...
- Can paint multiple prefabs at once, every prefab has its unique paint settings
- Only paint on selected layers

I'm hesitant to put it on the store since it would require a bit of work to get it all polished up, and also because there already are quite a few cheap and wonderful prefab brush tools on the asset store!

For example:
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/21321
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/51269
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/44846

The tool will get support, but there will probably not be any added features in the future. Updates will only exist of bug fixes and minor improvements.

Let me know if there is any demand for this!

​

 

If I don't put it on the Asset Store, I could always just put the script on the forums.

 

Put it on Github, we'll judge if it's worth publishing on the store
I'm not an expert in these matters but i think if you don't use a special way to instanciate your meshes, like the terrain painter do with details and trees, it will be costly in term of performance.

Anyway, thanks for wanting to share your work for free.

 

> Put it on Github

I second this. It's much more useful to people on Github than on the forums.

 

go for github

 

I'd go for github as well.

One thing i don't like is the color of the buttons. They seem to be distracting and dont match the overall color scheme.

 

Everything is temporary.

 

have you uploaded it?

 

hey have you uploaded it? I need it

 

Hey, I have not yet uploaded it. Since there are quite a bit of requests to release it, I might clean it up and put it on github this Friday.

Update: So yeah, I will probably clean up the code and put it on github this Friday.

 

Hey! So my internet has been down for the past 24 hours. I uploaded the tool to github and made a forum post for you to check out. If you experience bugs or you need support, please comment on that thread and not this one. You can also get support through my email.

How do i import this into Unity ?

 

Download it as a .zip, unzip it. Then copy the 'Ameye' folder and paste it in the 'Assets' folder of your Unity project!

 

That's amazing. One question though: Is this royalty-free? If I, for example, sell one of my games that has used this prefab brush set in it, would it be copyrighted?

Thanks,

It's under the MIT license.



If you need more information: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/LICENSE

So to answer your question. You can use the tool in the creation of your game and then sell the game without any copyright issues!

 

Ok. That's great! Finally a free prefab brush set that's actually up to date!

Thanks a lot.

 

You're welcome!

 

I can't really get it to work... I don't know if I'm missing a file, doing it wrong, or just don't know how to. It's my first time working with any prefab brushes so.... do you know how to use it?

 

Hey! So did you manage to import the 'Ameye' folder into your assets? You can always contact me through alexanderameye@gmail.com, that might be easier!

 

Thanks! I really need that

 

You're welcome!
