It would be great if the program remembered the last folder path used whenever I open or save something — like when opening a script, exporting an object, or loading a saved .model file.

Right now, it only remembers the last path used overall. For example, if I open a model from one folder and then need to export something to a different folder, the program still defaults to the previous path instead of the new one.

Of course, there are many actions that involve file paths, so it wouldn’t be necessary to remember all of them. Just the most common ones — especially export and open , which I, personally, use the most — would make a big difference.

This would definitely speed up the workflow and make the overall experience smoother. (IMO)

It would be great if I could simply press a key like E or Q — or any other key — to move vertically without having to constantly zoom in and out.

I know that zooming, panning, and moving the camera is possible, but being able to move up or down freely would make it much easier to view the object exactly how I want. Plus, sometimes the current camera controls don’t allow me to achieve the precise angle I’m looking for.

Make it so we can adjust individual parts of a "merged" block

I'll as an example the blasters

• Some parts, for example, the "mediumBlaster_barrelSilencer", have a block and a barrel.
• I wish I could also move/scale/remove/rotate only the barrel part or the block part, without having to just move/scale/remove/rotate the whole thing.

Make so we can batch export

• Select the presets (unity, godot, unreal etc)
• press export
• Select the folder
• Name the file
• confirm export

I think of the 3 subtraction is the most useful, followed by union and finally difference I don't use often.

I would like to create a preset that I can select when exporting to sprite. This preset would be useful to configure the camera, lighting, position, etc, so that I don’t have to manually input these numbers on every export.

I could not find any documentation on how to create such a preset.

I created a file mypreset.preset with the contents:

title:MyPreset
type:2d

and restarted Asset Forge, but unfortunately this preset did not show up in the preset list.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Jose

is it chance to add more export batch angles, 64 or even 128?

• Added buttons for quickly exporting sprites/models
• Added message after successfully exporting 3D model
• Added (error) message when failed to load custom block or collection
• Added hotkey for closing panels (ESC)
• Extended maximum distance when zooming out
  
• Extended maximum scale when exporting 3D models

These will help me directly! Thank you!

Additionally I would like to have this feature request implemented together with the orthographic mode. https://itch.io/t/1271734/quick-camera-view-changes-ie-view-from-top-left-and-right-etc

Many thanks!

Recently, I've been using it to draft levels at a macro level for a fast-paced shooter, and I want to be able to export obj files at large scales. However, the scale limit is set to 1000. Could this be increased to 10000 or more? Thanks.

I do love the idea of mashing shapes together to make something truly unique and i like the looks it provides (i like the low poly look), its nice to have a huge collection of shapes.. however i would like to be able to use my own shapes/models or even sprites and mash them into something that looks cool and is exportable for use in many engines. 

If this feature is already added, Cool.. i will buy the software asap. 

Also material for object is nice, but having a UV texture as image could be handy as well.

Would it be possible to add a batch export for 36 angles - i.e. every 10 degrees?

Thanks,

Damian

My workaround at the moment: create a model with all materials needed. Load this every time i want to create a new model and use a different filename for the new one :).

Edit: Maybe in "Preferences" ... "Default materials" ..

See copypaste.png (1521×598) (mroman.ch)

I copied that block and used crtl-v and tried to place it next to the block I copied. There's no way you can do this because for some reason the pasted block has some huge Z-offset and you can't get it down to the ground. So in a way you just have to place it where it's at least somewhere visible on the screen and then move it tediously into place. It would thus be great if there were some command/shortcut that duplicates the block inplace (where it is) and have it selected so that you can immediately move it.

However, I would love to see uniform scaling by axis.

If this is already in the app, how do I use it?

• Startup:
  • Add option to disable splash screen
    
  • Add option to always start in:
    • full screen option
    • maximized windowed
    • remembered window position and size of last closed session
• Categories:
  • Add option setting to change the starting category to: All, Recent, Favorites, one of the presets, or a Custom category (see next item)
  • Nice to have: Ability to add and manage custom categories that can contain blocks from the provided presets as well as custom blocks. I realize this might be out of scope for this app, why I marked it nice-to-have
    
• Export:
  • Godot Export Preset needs changes?:
    • Change X is up to Y is up
    • Scale should be 10? (I feel like 10 scale goes better with the models included and 100 is too big)
  • Even better, remember changed values by export type. If I change the Godot Export settings then save them. These saved settings would only apply to the Godot export, such that if I use Blender Export it will have the values for Blender. Add a button to be able to return to default values as initially set by the app.

Thanks for reading, I searched for the public to-do list but didn't find it. I'd like to read it if anyone can provide a link to it.

Cheers!

*: I realize Unity on Windows seems to be somewhat finicky about the starting position of its apps. Asset Forge is not the only Unity app I have trouble with  controlling it's startup position.

The group tab should display all groups where you can rename them or select all the blocks within that group. Additionally, on export there should be an option "[ ] Merge groups" which works kinda like merge blocks but doesn't merge all blocks into one but merges them based on groups so that when you import it into an engine or blender you have one object per group. 

Then the group tab should have some "expand" arrow where you can expand the group to get a list of all the blocks within that group and allow you to select an individual block of the group. reason is that once you have grouped something but then need to copy/paste a block from the group you have to ungroup, copy/paste it, and then you have to re-group again which is just a lot of clicking. 

Something like this;

The idea being that this technique would then be supported in apps using <model-viewer>, such as this; https://modelviewer.dev/examples/scenegraph/#variants

this is a great post about how this would be helpful: https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2023/02/play-your-cardz-right/

Kenney, could you please add customization of the lighting of the scene or share what's yours current settings?

Many thanks!

For a model to have static collision, it would be nice if there was a checkbox on export for Godot to export collision data as well.  This should be fairly simple to do, on export the meshes will need to append the string "-col" and Godot will automatically add colliders to them upon import.

The current work flow for me is to export twice, once as normal, another as merged (which is bugged to not be rotated the same as unmerged).  The merged, I can then muck around and force a collider.  This solution is less than ideal.  Having a checkbox would simplify the process.

I feel like this would add a huge boost to the color options.

Example: I'd like to rebind "go up, go down" to Q and E respectively, but I cannot find an option or config present for this. It'd be VERY appreciated, perhaps essential, QoL for this program to help optimize users' workflow to their own comfort. 

It felt like the sensitivity was a bit low, so I'd like to have an option to increase the sensitivity a bit.

When working with Nature Pack in Asset Forge, the height spacing feature is sorely lacking. What would be done at 1/4 of the step of the block size.

IDEA

semi simple extension of current ui interactions

the 'grid snap', 'angle snap' and 'layer height' boxes should accept mouse scroll input in which mouse scroll up would trigger the '+' event from the '+' button and vice versa for the '-' button

WHY?

it would make the workflow in the application a little faster and feel even more fluid
