Probuilder Unity Download - How to Build Virtual Worlds From Scratch
If you are interested in creating your own 3D models and levels in Unity, you might want to check out 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 too. You can use ProBuilder to quickly prototype structures, complex terrain features, vehicles and weapons, or to make custom collision geometry, trigger zones, or nav meshes. ProBuilder also takes advantage of Unity's seamless round-tripping capabilities with digital content-creation tools (like Maya), so you can further detail and polish models with your favorite tools. In this article, we will show you how to install ProBuilder and use some of its key features.
How to Install ProBuilder
ProBuilder is available from the Package Manager and is compatible with Unity 2020 LTS and later. To install ProBuilder, follow these steps:
- Open the Package Manager (in Unity's top menu: Window > Package Manager).
- Enter ProBuilder in the search box.
- Click ProBuilder in the package list (left side), then click the Install button in the package details (right side).
To verify that ProBuilder is correctly installed, open the ProBuilder toolbar (from Unity's top menu: Tools > ProBuilder > ProBuilder Window). If you don't see the ProBuilder Window menu item, then ProBuilder did not install correctly.
How to Use ProBuilder
ProBuilder has many features that allow you to create and edit 3D models and levels in Unity. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Extrude and inset: Select any face or open edge, and simply hold Shift while moving, rotating, or scaling to extrude or inset. You can shape objects in any form. You can even extrude multiple faces/edges at once. You can flip the normals of all faces on the selected object(s), which is especially useful for converting an exterior modeled shape into an interior space. You can use the Mirror action to create identical copies of objects and make symmetrical items: Build one half, mirror it, then weld the two together for a perfectly symmetrical result.
- Polybrush: Polybrush is another tool that is part of Unity's worldbuilding suite. It allows you to sculpt and paint meshes in Unity. You can use Polybrush to blend textures and colors, sculpt organic shapes, add details like rocks and grass, and more. To use Polybrush, you need to install it from the Package Manager as well.
- UV Editor: The UV Editor lets you edit the texture coordinates of your models. You can access it from the ProBuilder toolbar by clicking on UV Editor. You can use the UV Editor to unwrap your models automatically or manually, adjust the scale and rotation of UV islands, pack UVs efficiently, and more.
These are just some of the features that ProBuilder offers. You can explore more by checking out the documentation and the tutorials. With ProBuilder, you can build virtual worlds from scratch in Unity with ease and creativity.
