Discussion
I made some videos of the new Xogot Modeler to build levels from the editor without having to switch back and forth from Blender:
- Intro: https://youtu.be/ehfxuRyUcQg
- Build a maze by abusing Extrude: https://youtu.be/fAP4U5yk13A
- Maze go Bezier: https://youtu.be/sYGmVzk859I
Heavily inspired by Unity's ProBuilder
@Migueldeicaza that removes such a big point of friction to be able to stay in the same tool to do modeling
@simsaens it is no match for Blender, but for lots of small things, it beats having to do the switching. Now I need some spacey ship textures and some rocks to make a neat level :-)
@Migueldeicaza it also works on the iOS version?
@simsaens yes it does! It is currently only on TestFlight, soon coming to the AppStore. It is bound to the new Godot 4.7 engine (AppStore is still on 4.6)
@Migueldeicaza I’d love to compile Xogot to the web using MiniSwift. Gave it a shot locally, but ran into some blockers with the FFI. I haven’t looked into the licensing side of things yet either, but once Windows Studio is wrapped up, I’d love to put together a demo if that sounds good to you.
@toprakdeviren how did you try that, perhaps you meant Swift Godot?
Because the source is not open, but Xogot is a very large app, had lots of swift code, and might be hard to get it to run with your swift implementation.
The UI might be doable with some work, but would likely require full swift for the engine
@Migueldeicaza By the way, I also gave SwiftTerm a shot. Managed to get it compiling with just a few hiccups, but once I saw that web version you had running the other day, I decided not to reinvent the wheel ;-)
@Migueldeicaza Oh, I'm so sorry. I meant Swift's Godot ;-)
@Migueldeicaza I might be an idiot, but is that the entire Mac app UI for the modeler within XCode, or does your app borrow its UI from XCode. Either way I think this is very cool. I admire the work people do in Blender, but don’t want to approach its non-native UI 😅
@belovedmelody that is my take on building a Mac-native UI on top of Godot. So it just Godot with a Mac shell and a few addons like that.

@Migueldeicaza thank you for your instructive response! Helpful for a noob like me.

@Migueldeicaza oh I just saw this video for (not-yet-released) “Unibuilder”, someone’s reimplementation of Probuilder in GDScript
