Congratulations for finding the description easter egg! Comment something secret sounding like “found the banana!” if you read this so people who didn’t read the description are confused 😁

[@suryasel.7065]

Anyone scrolling down the comments, take this from me - There're several videos on this topic by other creators that I've seen, and this is the one I recommend the most. Pacing and content on point, loved it

[@evansbohl]

Wow thank you Surya for this kind message 🙏 it's extremely rewarding to know that viewers like my tutorial this much 😊

[@aureliusog]

Thanks for showing this! I didn't even know this tool existed and it's exactly what i need for my current project! Thanks Evans.

[@borstenpinsel]

The stuff in the beginning looks like what the Tomb Raider editor was capable of more than 20 years ago. I miss games that come with their own level editor.

[@DeadPixel1105]

Thank you so much for this. I'm just starting out with Unreal Engine, and I wanted to make a reproduction of classic Doom's E1M1 map. But once I got into the Unreal Engine Editor, I realized it was not going to be as easy as I thought. This geometry tool demonstrated in this video is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you so much.

[@ristopaasivirta9770]

[@killcode6979]

Could you do a video on adding material to this as well? I'm curious on your approach. My first thoughts were along the lines of creating a layered material and painting it.

[@Cronosonic]

I've been wondering about this as well. Being able to use a bunch of materials to paint onto block meshes would be amazing for prototyping.

[@evansbohl]

That's a great idea! This week-end I was searching exactly how to do it and found out a solution :) When in modeling mode, you can go to the "attributes" category and select the "MatEd" tool. Once it's enabled, you just have to select faces and assign a new material to them ;)

I was looking for something like that recently. I found paid addon for blender. It is grid modeller. Now only thing left is "first person view" version of this type of modeling. Basically Minecraft with little blocks mod or chisel mod with additional ability to "fillet" and "chamfer" edges. Probably esiest way it would be to make modification for minetest and add option to export modles as 3d objects
