Make a Planet in Unity 2019 with Polybrush! (Tutorial)

Polybrush is a fantastic tool for Unity, which you can use for level design, scattering prefabs, painting and sculpting meshes! In Unity 2019.2, Polybrush was added to the Package Manager, and introduced the Prefab Scatter mode!

Assets used in this video:

Polybrush enables you to blend textures and colors, sculpt meshes, and scatter objects directly in the Unity Editor.

Combined with ProBuilder, Polybrush gives you a complete in-editor level design solution. You can also take advantage of Unity’s seamless round-tripping with digital content-creation tools (like Maya) so you can further polish models with your favorite tools.

hi sykoo i knew i recgonized your voice in this tutorial. I opened up unity for my first time right now and so far I'm having fun following along this tutorial and planning on using this as my game engine. :)

OH MY GOD! This literally made my MONTH! I thought of a project I wanted to do but since I'm not that good at modelling it would take ages to create each setting (they're like the planets in this case). And this tool is ALL I need. I mean it cuts my work in about 70%, which is insane!!! OMG I love Unity right now.

I was actually planning on trying out Polybrush today! Perfect timing! Sometimes I feel Unity can read my mind

[pwshaw]

This is exactly what I was needing. Nice work! It’s a great tool, and I’m looking forward to seeing this get better and better.

Unity keeps gettin better and batter... You guys are awesome!

Having terrain brushes for any kind of mesh will allow so much original things to happen on Unity ! I don't know if I'll use it myself soon though, but we never know ^^

I really hope this tool continues to get more love

I was trying to make a project using a round planet and I was frustrated because it took so long to place these down.

[RyanCole-xk]

This has saved my game from becoming abandoned

Can you make a randomly generated spherical planet? If you can make it, please make a tutorial on it.

[AlanLimaMarques]

man, that's exactly what i needed, thank you

[dachs]

Really good explanation! I will use it to place a lot of grass prefabs for my lawnmower sim xD

[KennethP_MC]

Hope Unity can have more tool about low poly/polygon, the low poly scene is very easy to make and I love the low poly scene/game because it don’t need a high performance computer to run it and the polygon style scene are EPIC🔥Break the barrier of reality 🔥🔥🔥

This is amazing, I hope it still working on Unity 2023 !! It's awesome, I am working on A small game and I needed to planets, I'm tired of trying to fit the Normal Unity Terrain and scall objects to fit in

[DJ-fsvs]

Hope you still monitoring this post for features [as you requested] about what features could be "required" for game development.
I would say: "Paramount is the possibility to select neighbour planes [at once] and paint textures across them, e.g. then painting paths they will all add up.

[michaelreiter]

Im going to use this to use a planet as a level select for my mobile game

[adruian]

Whathing this video I coundt think in another idea than start creating a Super Mario Galaxy type game!

[thegreatestquest]

Very cool! Can't wait to try this out.
