Your First Room in Scythe (v0.0.7)

Here's a getting started guide on how to make rooms in various ways, then I show you how I make a hall with a door to a room and texture it all.

I realize I need a better mic.

Scythe 0.0.7 Build (Win64)

For Unreal Engine 5.5 on Windows only. No source included, just the binaries.

Let me know if there's any issues getting it working.

Scythe Status (0.0.7) (UE 5.5 Only)

Scythe isn't production ready yet, but here's what it's currently capable of and also some of its downsides so you see what the limitations are.

2 Minutes of the Block Tool

Showing the progress thus far on the block tool. If you're watching this and thinking "but it's not 1999, we don't make rooms out of blocks". You'll be able to do this with single plane rectangles (quads) as well. You can also just make a block and invert the normals too.

Block Tool + Auto-Texel Density

No special materials used, the UVs are all auto-world aligned to grid.

Fit Texture to Face

Boy this is a useful one. I added a way to maintain the aspect ratio so if you want to just stretch a wall to fit perfectly vertically, it'll keep the ratio and look beautiful in all directions.

Justify Texture

Turning a block into a room

It's still quite limited to what you can do right now, as this is all technically one mesh being extruded and sliced up, but it's still pretty fun and cool so far.

Cool what you can do with just a few working tools. Still a long way to go.

Auto-Texel Density

Some may not care about texel density, but I think it's important to get "close enough" to what the size should be on a face when you first apply a texture.

If you were making a minecraft-like game with 16x16 textures, you'd set your texel density in Scythe to be 16 pixels per 1 meter and it'll all just work based off o...

Connect Selected Edges

Hotkey'd to 'V' since you'll be doing this a lot. Part of the bread and butter.

Selection Sizes with multiple selections

You'll never be able to go without this.

Selection Sizes Preview 1

Ever wanted to know how big something was in Unreal?

Initial Texturing Tools

Texture like it's 1999.

Shift + click face extrusions

Shift + Click and drag face extrusions in UE editor. The mesh preview gets a little buggy after a bit, but it's working.
