Incredible work! Your tool has really come a long way. I would continue to be effusive with praise, but I'll just say it's really inspiring stuff. Keep it up!
I was wondering when features like these would be native to unity. It was so lacking that I was tempted to build it myself. I'm so glad you made this. I only have entry level knowledge in Autodesk modeling programs and depend on my partner a lot for UV unwrapping and standard modeling, but with this tool it's possible for me to bridge my pipeline from modeling to scripting which is what I mostly do in Unity. Seems like a great tool to have for rapid prototyping!
This is the best level design tool for Unity I've ever seen! It should come with Unity out of the box if you ask me. Great job! Well worth the money :D
The outer lines are actually created by using Unity's standard outline shader, nothing special. I then used the "SceneFX" tool from the Asset Store to make that show up in-scene, instead of just in-game :)
To the people complaining about the speed. Why not try using the SPEED setting of the video to slow it down. Just a thought instead of complaining first.
I'm trying to make my first game right now. Watching this video made me realize that I might be more interested to build tools than making the game itself.
May I ask how you align your stuff? It looks so neat! Whenever I drag certain areas to a certain height, I can't get it the way I want it to. How do you do it?
they wrote an answer under a youtube video that there will be big updates about this in close future, 3 month's ago. thats something at least, but there were no updates :(
patched to 4.15.2 which is just giving hotfixes. I don't see any meaningful shaping tools in ue4 up to now and clearly nothing that comes close to probuilders capabilities :(
Coming from a background of using the Hammer mapping tool for source games this was exactly what I wanted out of unity and couldn't believe they didn't have. Overall this tool is great but still has some user interface issues which i'm sure will be fixed soon.
The overall appearance of the ProBuilder window itself sometimes can be troublesome to work with and a bit clunky. I would enjoy a more user friendly and stream lined approach (maybe icons) so it's no longer a list of commands I have to cycle through.
Remscar We used to have icons, but the problem they created was, people had to learn each icon- a simple word looks a lot less "flashy" (okay, looks flat ugly, ha), but it erases 90% of the learning curve. Want to Subdivide something? Click "Subdivide"! Connect? Click "Connect"! :) No hunting through the manual for icons, momorizing, etc... I agree it isn't as pretty, but it sure is easier to learn and to use. Also, the new interface shouldn't require any cycling through, it automatically, dynamically changes to show every single available command, and nothing else. Quite proud of that feature, actually :)
Hi No Name- UVing works in 2 ways: 1) Auto-UVs : everything is done for you, in simple, tiling manner. Very much like BSP-style mapping in the old days. This works great for basic geometry, that just needs tiling textures. You can also edit scale, offset, rotation, and several other parameters. 2) Manual UVs : this is new (as of v2.3+), and allows full manual UV unwrapping, similar to what you would find in the "UV Unwrap" modifier of 3DS Max, or the equivalent in Blender/Maya/etc, including an option to render out UV templates for painting in Photoshop/etc, if you need. We are really proud of this addition, it adds as TON of functionality! :) As for applying materials, you can assign per object, or per face. Any and all materials will work just fine, including Substance (great option!). Hope that helps, thanks for the interest! ~gw
No Name Awesome, thanks! Did you happen to find this via Reddit, or somewhere else? Always good to know what methods are working best to spread the word :)
@@gabriel-polysketch Global environment with Pro Builder and detailed props in 3D model tools, makes sense to me! I always liked low-poly more than all that hyper realism stuff anyway.
I wish there was a free version of this. I would love to mess around with this tool in unity3d for random level designing for school projects. but 95 euro's is a bit much since I would need to convince the school to buy it in their computers and home aswell.... but anyways, awesome tool.
Hi. I am thinking about buying Pro Builder because it looks amazing! I have a few questions though. 1. Does it come with ProGrids? 2. Is there like a 30 day money back system? 3. If there is no refunds, is there like a demo mode I could try out?
The Coding Guru Hi there! 1) ProGrids is separate, so that it can work with all Unity objects 2) Sorry, it's digital and there have been abuses so we can't do this. However, the entire tools is outlined part-by-part in the documentation (procore3d.com/docs/probuilder), and in video tutorials, so you can learn the entire tool before you buy! :) 3) Haven't figured out a good "Demo Mode" option yet- tough to do well. If you are unsure of any feature/etc, just ask, we'll be happy to help! A great option is also to start a discussion on the Forum at "www.procore3d.com/forum", lots of other users there who can let you know how ProBuilder helps them, etc. Best, gw
***** Thanks! Sure, modular is a great way to go. ProBuilder does not use "BSP" at all, it simple lets you create meshes right in the Unity editor. You can also export any of the meshes you create as OBJ files, or convert imported, non-PB meshes, into PB editable meshes :)
***** Oh, it's been Unity 5 optimized/ready for a long time! :D We are always active with the Unity betas, ensuring (as best we can, it's a crazy world), that PB stays up-to-date for devs :)
***** Nope, all is well. Maybe you are seeing the upgrade notice? We had to change the upgrade process for Unity 5, it works perfectly, we just wanted to make sure everyone knew about the change. Or did you see something else?
Malo Sal Actually, they are still there- it's just that you are now looking at the backfaces, which are invisible :) Zoom inside the cube, and you'll see all sides are there :)
Malo Sal I'd recommend watching our "E1M1" tutorial series, and going from there. Once you know the fundamentals, it's very simple :) www.procore3d.com/videos
Is there any chance I could add you via chat software e.g. skype? I don't seem to understand some or most of the words you are saying in your tutorials for probuilder so maybe I could get a private help? Would be awesome!
I would think for a promotion video to help people understand just whats what you would maybe do a wee bit of creation explaining how what why for $95 we gotta trace after the mouse with on eye and read subs with the other at bloody light speed, you letting your selves down people,. the speed kills it
+Kiwi Hawk For slow, detailed videos, you can view the tutorials: www.procore3d.com/videos. This is just meant to show some cool features and get people's imagination moving :)
+Gabriel Williams Thanks for the reply,.. as hobbyist some of these tools might be nice but a bit over the top cost wise to justify but I still looking
It's a speed build - sped up art-related videos are common on youtube, so you can see the workflow and process in action, in a lot less time. And notably, it's a utility meant for building Unity levels quickly, so this seems very appropriate to me. There's a rundown of the features on the Unity Asset Store page. :)
Then you probably don't value your time much. These tools are designed to save you hundreds or thousands of hours. People just dont get it. I get the same response when I tell someone just buy a player controller from the asset store for $30 instead of writing 1,000 lines of code.
@Mark's World: I second that. If you're making games for free, good for you, but if your time is valuable, $100 is small change compared to what it allows you to accomplish. If anything, it should cost even more!
Is this better and faster than Maya for modeling finalized environments? I mean like buildings and window openings and stuff? It looks alot faster than what maya/max can do (unless you setup a billion hotkeys)
This is just like using Blender inside Unity, you're better off learning a real 3D modeling software for the long run. If you know how to use this you know the basics of any modeling software.
This video is pretty damn satisfying to watch.
Incredible work! Your tool has really come a long way. I would continue to be effusive with praise, but I'll just say it's really inspiring stuff. Keep it up!
Thanks Burton!! :)
5:14 'should be part of unity'
Dont worry, give it a few years
I was wondering when features like these would be native to unity. It was so lacking that I was tempted to build it myself. I'm so glad you made this. I only have entry level knowledge in Autodesk modeling programs and depend on my partner a lot for UV unwrapping and standard modeling, but with this tool it's possible for me to bridge my pipeline from modeling to scripting which is what I mostly do in Unity.

This is the best level design tool for Unity I've ever seen! It should come with Unity out of the box if you ask me. Great job! Well worth the money :D
wow it looks amazing! thank you for allowing BSP level design in unity, this really helped me a lot with designing levels :)
Thanks Jim, happy to help! :)
Awsome demo of an awsome product - Unity wouldn't be the same without Probuilder.
Just wow.. ProBuilder has come a long way sense i last saw it, good work!
When i stumble over some money this will be my first tool for Unity!
Thanks C MH, yep, we never stop improving!
Oops, right! It isn't a shader- it's a camera post-effect, called "Edge Detection", or "Detect Edges", I forget. :)
+Gabriel Williams A camera post effect it's a shader...
Wow, I had no idea how good this tool was/is !
Thank you very much for this tool. you are amazing, keep up the good work!
Awsome Video and tool showcase :D
The wall at 2:30 was great, off to have a go at doing that.
How in fuckery have I only just heard about this!?
**Insert joke about IE being the culprit and Firefox or Chrome being superior to Internet Explorer here**
+XΣRXΣS lol
how did I just hear about this now
I absolutely love the aesthetic this gives off. Sort of like the 90's games. Only wish UE4 BSP brush worked like this.
Well-placed simple shapes with good lighting & texturing/coloring is a treat to the eyes!
The outer lines are actually created by using Unity's standard outline shader, nothing special. I then used the "SceneFX" tool from the Asset Store to make that show up in-scene, instead of just in-game :)
To the people complaining about the speed. Why not try using the SPEED setting of the video to slow it down. Just a thought instead of complaining first.
I choose 0.25 and I still don't catch sometimes what was he/she dooing.
I'm trying to make my first game right now. Watching this video made me realize that I might be more interested to build tools than making the game itself.
This looks great.
I design levels in a marching-cube game engine and seeing this makes me feel hopeful that I can move on to the Unity engine for proper level design.
Jeez. This is so cool.
omg. I need this in my life.
Thanks for the fast answer Gabriel! Would you mind telling me how to set it up like that? I can't see any standard outline shader in Unity.
Thank you for this. (Hopefully) Now I can develop my levels at a faster rate! ;)
This is amazing.
This is so absolutely insane that I ask myself if I´m awake ...... SHIAAAADDD. HEEELP. Can´t bear this aweseomeness.
I really love this showcase, such an amazing work! :D
Thanks Alan! :)
*****
You're welcome
Wow. Pretty damn cool!
Thanks Midnitte! :)
when i am making my levels some times the textures get messed up mainly the floor it gets blurred badly what am i doing wrong
You're pretty good.
Wow, this looks incredible! So much better than the tools you have by default!
this guy is so fking AWESOME!
Its a bit tricky to use since I'm a beginner but I must say that this is a cool asset
Awesome
Hi! What's the cell-shaded material you're using at the beginning which gives thick outer lines? Can this be downloaded somewhere and set up for PB?
THANK you guy. Very coll👍
Glad you liked it! Wow this video is old! :D
Great work Gabriel !!!
Please do more tutorials.
Just a quick question, How did you get that nice black outline around the scene?
Hi Scott, I used a tool from the Asset Store that lets you see your game-camera effects, in the scene camera :)
are there tutorials on the hot keys and ways to use pro builder?
OMG!!!!! This is so freaking cool.
Thanks! :D
Good!
can you also do all the mesh Manipulations ingame?
Did you use an asset for the weapon and first person camera or did you just make it for this tutorial
Hello ,wanted to know how does your unity look like that?
May I ask how you align your stuff? It looks so neat! Whenever I drag certain areas to a certain height, I can't get it the way I want it to. How do you do it?
I recommend install progrids (it's free)
i am SO waiting for this to come out for unreal
Its been years. It isnt happening.
they wrote an answer under a youtube video that there will be big updates about this in close future, 3 month's ago. thats something at least, but there were no updates :(
Currently paused while we evaluate Unreal's own new tools! :)
what new tools? I have 4.15.1
patched to 4.15.2 which is just giving hotfixes. I don't see any meaningful shaping tools in ue4 up to now and clearly nothing that comes close to probuilders capabilities :(
Coming from a background of using the Hammer mapping tool for source games this was exactly what I wanted out of unity and couldn't believe they didn't have. Overall this tool is great but still has some user interface issues which i'm sure will be fixed soon.
Remscar Thanks! What issues are you seeing with the interface?
The overall appearance of the ProBuilder window itself sometimes can be troublesome to work with and a bit clunky. I would enjoy a more user friendly and stream lined approach (maybe icons) so it's no longer a list of commands I have to cycle through.
Remscar We used to have icons, but the problem they created was, people had to learn each icon- a simple word looks a lot less "flashy" (okay, looks flat ugly, ha), but it erases 90% of the learning curve. Want to Subdivide something? Click "Subdivide"! Connect? Click "Connect"! :) No hunting through the manual for icons, momorizing, etc... I agree it isn't as pretty, but it sure is easier to learn and to use.
Also, the new interface shouldn't require any cycling through, it automatically, dynamically changes to show every single available command, and nothing else. Quite proud of that feature, actually :)
Who is here cause of Dani?
Is perfect (i'll try it) and...IT'S FREE, WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT?
pc
I need this in unreal engine 4
Can you control all geometry creation via script? so that I can do procedural generated levels?
Yes you can! :)
Dafuq. I love this.
0:23 how was the hole made in both sides ?
will this work in the free version of unity 4.6 or is it necesary to get unity pro/unity 5?
Epsilon N Hi there- ProBuilder works in both Free and Pro versions, no worries :)
Looks pretty interesting, how does UVing works though? Do you select each face you want and assign a material/texture? Does it work with substances?
Hi No Name- UVing works in 2 ways:
1) Auto-UVs : everything is done for you, in simple, tiling manner. Very much like BSP-style mapping in the old days. This works great for basic geometry, that just needs tiling textures. You can also edit scale, offset, rotation, and several other parameters.

Hope that helps, thanks for the interest! ~gw
Excellent! Thanks for the reply! I'm definetely going to fit your product on a future project!
No Name Awesome, thanks! Did you happen to find this via Reddit, or somewhere else? Always good to know what methods are working best to spread the word :)
I saw a link from Reddit yes, always prefer reddit for this kinda stuff ;)
No Name Gotchya. I really need to use Reddit more!
can levels designed in pro builder be viewed/interacted with in VR?
Of course! You can create anything at all. ProBuilder creates simple, standard meshes. :)
its like built in blender in unity
is that Jan Hammer in the background? Yon
I need this in the worst way!
today you can get it for free ))
I usually make the blockouts with Unity 3D primitives, I wonder if one can release a full game with only using primitives & Pro Builder... ?
Sure! For example ... SUPERHOT, STRAFE, Dusk, Tunic ... if your style is low-poly and simple, it works great!
@@gabriel-polysketch Global environment with Pro Builder and detailed props in 3D model tools, makes sense to me! I always liked low-poly more than all that hyper realism stuff anyway.
I wish there was a free version of this. I would love to mess around with this tool in unity3d for random level designing for school projects. but 95 euro's is a bit much since I would need to convince the school to buy it in their computers and home aswell.... but anyways, awesome tool.
+Ariko o Checkout Prototype. It's a stripped down version of Probuilder but it's still extremely useful and it's free!
+Ariko o The advanced version is free for game jam
+Ariko o Go to the website in description and buy it, its 0.00
What's the first song in this video? It's pretty rad.
chalitnc Hmm, I forget exactly- but it's all from "Night Driver", here: nightdriver.bandcamp.com/album/midnight-run
***** Splendid, the track is Midnight Run. Also, excellent job with ProBuilder, been following it since the very first version!

just purchased on asset store !!!!!.....
Can u send me Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. i cant afford it ? :(
noumannoor987@gmail.com
@Nouman Noor: If you can't afford to spend $100 on your game, you're probably not in the right industry ;)
+David Jalbert not true you can make games without spending 100$, it made you sound like a jerk but i don't think it was your intention
really good showcase man , these modesl can be modular ? this have to be re do as statics mesh because BSP is using too much performance right ?
***** Thanks! Sure, modular is a great way to go. ProBuilder does not use "BSP" at all, it simple lets you create meshes right in the Unity editor. You can also export any of the meshes you create as OBJ files, or convert imported, non-PB meshes, into PB editable meshes :)
all right , this interest me mate , I should look in to it soon I just wait the version optimised for Unity 5 :)
***** Oh, it's been Unity 5 optimized/ready for a long time! :D We are always active with the Unity betas, ensuring (as best we can, it's a crazy world), that PB stays up-to-date for devs :)
yeah but I see on your site there are some small things who's need to be fixed , Iam I wrong ? :)
***** Nope, all is well. Maybe you are seeing the upgrade notice? We had to change the upgrade process for Unity 5, it works perfectly, we just wanted to make sure everyone knew about the change. Or did you see something else?
It took him 5 minutes to create a level, it takes me 5 minutes to boot my pc and enter unity
Will this be good for a zombie game like to make cities
Sure, that'd be a great use!
Thx
Is there a quick video showing how to make a room?
The simplest way is to create a Cube, then hit "Flip Normals" to turn it inside-out, creating a room :)
Hey Gabriel thanks for the reply. When I do that for some reason I lose 2 walls. Is there anyway to avoid that?
Malo Sal Actually, they are still there- it's just that you are now looking at the backfaces, which are invisible :) Zoom inside the cube, and you'll see all sides are there :)
I see. So that works for one room. Is there a tutorial on how to per say make 2 floors with rooms on each floor?
Malo Sal I'd recommend watching our "E1M1" tutorial series, and going from there. Once you know the fundamentals, it's very simple :) www.procore3d.com/videos
No way, this brings shame to those really sophisticated 3D modeling softwares
Is there any chance I could add you via chat software e.g. skype? I don't seem to understand some or most of the words you are saying in your tutorials for probuilder so maybe I could get a private help? Would be awesome!
CodedWorks Studios Best option would be email, that way nothing will be missed! :) Thanks for the interest!
***** Cool and what is your email? I don't seem to find it in your channel info.
song?
Lost Syndicate thanks! This video is so well made! I could watch it over and over again!
can you export the mesh with the uv's? to edit in substance painter for example?
+Luke Carelsen Yes, you can export to OBJ, and the UVs are included :)
+Gabriel Williams is this included i the procure bundle or a separate purchase?
+Luke Carelsen Yes, ProBuilder Advanced is included in the ProCore Bundle :)
awesome thanks

...I think I will stick with 3DS Max.
Anyone from Dani?
who from dani ??
I'll stick to 3ds max
Practically this plugin and Unity do what Cube engine did 15 years ago.
Who here is from Dani?
This is just like using Blender inside Unity, you're better off learning a real 3D modeling software for the long run. If you know how to use this you know the basics of any modeling software.
Step 1: Install SabreCSG instead.
There is no Step 2. Probuilder is just really clumsy.
I envision using this for a cave dwelling ........could ProBuilder do it?
