LogInWith Curve Architect, you can easily move mesh deformations, deform terrain, and animate objects along curves.
Level Designer and Software Engineer Mikael Danielsson has released Curve Architect, a brand-new general-purpose deformation tool for Unity that enables its users to easily move mesh deformations, deform terrain, and animate objects inside the engine's built-in animation system.
Compatible with Unity's built-in render pipeline, URP, and HDRP, Curve Architect leverages the engine's animation system to move and animate both deformations and regular game objects along Architect Curves. It can also deform multiple terrains, including 4K terrains and terrains from multiple simultaneously opened scenes. According to the developer, the tool is best suited for road creation, forest paths, rivers, terrain deformation, train tracks, ropes, and animations along curves.
Features:
Mesh deformation:
- Deform any mesh or mesh collider using an Architect Curve.
- Easily start mesh deformation by parenting your GameObjects to an Architect Curve.
- Apply deformation effects to specific control points.
- Deform multiple mesh colliders on the same Game Object.
- Switch deformation types between dynamic and static.
Terrain deformation:
- Deform multiple terrains, including 4k terrains and terrains from several scenes opened at the same time.
- The system tracks every change, making it easy to fine-tune and always letting you go back to the original state, even after restarting the editor.
- Configure width, blend width, and easing for blend width among other deformation options.
- Apply deformation effects at individual control points.
General:
- Curve Architect is multithreaded and uses Unity Burst for optimal performance.
- Custom-made menus and selection system designed with user-friendliness in mind.
- Easily create new Architect Curves and control points with the 'create mode'.
- Add Game Objects that can follow the curve when altering its form.
- View memory usage, length, and other information about each Architect Curve.
