Pattern Painter

Supercharge Your Prototyping with
Pattern Painter

Drag a volume over the world you already built and paint patterns onto whatever is inside it: many meshes at once, or terrain. Preview dense patterns live, place large prefab runs in seconds, and keep every step reversible.

Paint Onto the World You Already Built

  • Drag a box or cylinder over existing geometry: nothing is re-parented, no component is added, and no scene is dirtied
  • Several meshes at once, or terrain sampled directly with no Collider required
  • The volume is bounded at both ends, so you can paint one floor of a building or the ground beneath a canopy

Powerful Pattern-Based Object Placement

  • Grids & Checkerboards - Perfect for level layouts, city grids, or building decorations
  • Fit matching modular tiles edge to edge across a Paint Volume with one-click grid sizing
  • Lines & Radial Spokes - Ideal for indicating paths, rows of enemies, or geometric formations
  • Concentric Circles & Circular Lines - Great for arenas, ritual sites, or defense perimeters

Total Control Over Placement

  • Adjust pattern rotation, offset, spacing, and density
  • Add randomization for a more natural look
  • Align objects to collider or mesh surfaces

Fast, Flexible, and Built for Big Iteration

  • Preview up to 50,000 placement points live before creating objects
  • Undo/Redo support for creation, alignment, and rotation recalculation
  • Progress and cancellation for dense generation, creation, projection, and alignment
  • Status messages show previewed and created counts

Whether you’re working on a platformer, an RPG, a strategy game, or any hand-crafted world, Pattern Painter helps you block out patterns, preview dense layouts, and create large prefab runs without turning iteration into scene-by-scene hand placement.
