Great video talking about switching from BSP to Scythe: youtube.com/watch?v=GZooMK…

@GameLevelDesign @Manum_000 Have you heard of the good word of the UE plugin Scythe? May I come in for a cup of water?

@Manum_000 For that I'd say UE5's Modeling Mode & creating Static Meshes. You can model, UV, texture, collisions all in one. May take little longer than BSP or Dynamic Mesh blockouts but it'd give you the blockout stage & final meshes approach without issues of the other methods.

UE5: BSP vs Dynamic Meshes vs Static Meshes for blockouts? Pros & cons between all. Just recently came back to BSP. But use them all. Depends on project & what'd be fastest to get idea blocked out in UE5. In the end, all means to an end to get environment idea tested & built.

Fab's requirements to submit a plugin is so mysterious. "TextureGraph is enabled and not mentioned in the product page, it must be disabled or be mentioned as required in the product's description." It's in the first sentence of my description that it uses it.

Looks spectacular! The levels were made in Scythe!

I don't want to "jump on a quick call", ever.

@volodXYZ Yep

@kronok Can you do UVs for the base face you are subdividing even after subdividing? So having a UV shell for the entire face and thus getting the best of both worlds: hotspot texturing + density for vertex color painting?

I've just released the newest update to my Unreal Engine level editor called Scythe. Here's what's new... 🧵

Using the #Scythe plugin by @kronok for #UnrealEngine, I modeled this sci-fi hall in two evenings. I would rebuild most of it with what I learned, but it was fun to make. #screenshotsaturday

On the 29th on January I blocked out a scene with Scythe by @kronok #UnrealEngine5

Started digging into @kronok 's Scythe Editor for @UnrealEngine last night. Nothing substantial enough to show yet, but it's a fast and a lot of fun so far!

The algo completely dumped on my last post so here's this subway I made in Scythe again. I try to make a new environment from nothing just before each Scythe release so I can find issues.

@_vladislavzh Heh heh heh. I was wondering if anyone would catch it.

@kronok I recognize that lighting pattern. 😏

This release also marks Scythe moving from pre-alpha to alpha! The algorithm gods hate links, I guess, so if you'd like to try Scythe out, you can sub to my patreon and get the latest build as thanks (link in my profile). It'll be on Fab when it's officially released!

Subdivide: Useful for breaking up a mesh or face to do more with or if you do a lot with vertex painting.

Definitely get this if you use Scythe in any manner. The textures it comes with is what you're really after for Scythe: itch.io/s/177285/a-chr… It's currently free as of this post.

Even today, Half Life: Alyx feels like it came from an alternate game industry we never got. A hard overcommittment to the tech and techniques of 2000s-2010s gamedev, instead of just accepting the expected modern pipeline at face value.

While developing the Scythe Material Browser, I stumbled upon a way to swap out Unreal's thumbnail renderer with my own. So I turned it into a small plugin called Flat Material Thumbnails and released it on Fab today. (link in comments) #UE5 Also, my patrons get it free!
