🚀 Realm-Crafting Editor v3.4.0 is now available!
This release introduces a brand-new editor: World Planner 🗺️
The idea behind World Planner is simple: plan your world before building it in 3D.
You can capture any area of your 3D terrain and turn it into a 2D workspace where you can sketch roads, buildings, vegetation, paths, points of interest, and other elements before creating them in the Level Editor.
The drawing workspace provides several tools to help you organize your ideas:
- Draw squares and circles using your defined color references.
- Use a freehand pencil to draw roads, paths, rivers, or anything else.
- Use an eraser to remove parts of your drawing.
- Adjust the brush size using the real-world scale of your terrain.
- Add custom graphic elements such as trees, buildings, vehicles, street lights, or any other images you want to use.
- Add interactive Thumbtack markers with information and tooltips.
- Add simple Title markers to label areas or important elements.
- Save, reset, print, or completely delete your plans.
The goal is not to create a perfect representation of the final 3D world. World Planner is a planning and brainstorming tool, similar to drawing a map on paper before starting construction.
Once your plan is complete, you can print it and keep it beside you while working in the Level Editor. It gives you a visual guide for deciding what needs to be built, where objects should be placed, and how much space they should occupy.
I hope this new editor will be useful for anyone who likes to think about the organization of their game world before jumping directly into 3D construction.
