ProBuilder
Build, prototype, and playtest in-editor.
Overview
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 as well. It's a popular choice for rapid prototyping, level creation, and creating custom collision geometry directly within the Unity editor.
✨ Key Features
- In-editor 3D modeling
- Vertex, edge, and face editing
- UV editing and texturing
- ProGrids for grid-based snapping
- Boolean operations
- Custom shape creation
- Collision geometry creation
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Seamless integration with the Unity editor
- Fast and intuitive workflow for prototyping
- Free and included with Unity
Unique Value: Dramatically speeds up the level design and prototyping process in Unity by providing powerful 3D modeling tools directly in the editor.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Used by many Unity developers to quickly iterate on level designs without leaving the editor
- Creating custom and optimized collision for complex meshes
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- High-poly, detailed 3D modeling (better suited for dedicated 3D modeling software)
- Use outside of the Unity editor
🏆 Alternatives
Offers a much more integrated and faster workflow for prototyping within Unity compared to constantly switching between a dedicated 3D modeling application and the engine.
