Minimal initial set up.

Full source included in the package.

At Collision Bear, we believe that you know your own needs best. For that, we include the full source code, open for editing and/or expanding, to suite your current and future needs.

Automatic spacing

We use an estimate of how big a prefab is, based on the size of its Renderer component. Though not perfect for complex prefabs, the rough estimate is good enough for most use cases.

Automatic height detection.

You can paint on any surface as your prefabs correctly place themselves on top of any collider, such as terrain, mesh collider, or even recently placed prefabs.

Surface alignment

Aligns the object along the surface normal that it's placed upon.

Hotkey support.

We support hotkeys for most of the commonly used tool and features.

Scaling and rotation randomness.

In the palette configuration, you can set predefined random rotation and scale for your prefabs, allowing automatic asset variation when placed in the scene.

Distribution randomness.(Spatial randomness)

Choose between uniform spatial distribution, or a managed randomness for a more organic and natural feel.

Prefab variant randomization.(Prefab randomness)

While painting, Kaldera can randomly pick prefabs within your Prefab variation set to quickly create variation instead of switching back and forth between different prefabs of a similar type.

Customizable shortcuts (Key bindings)

Most input can have their shortcuts reconfigured to fit your personal need better.

Supports Unity's Undo/Redo flow.

Naturally, the editor fully supports Unity's Undo/Redo flow. This goes for both when painting with the brushes and editing the Palettes.

Tools agnostic prefabs.

Once an object is placed, there is no lingering data from the Prefab painter. No custom scripts are added to your Prefabs. A prefab placed with Kaldera is literally identical as one dragged into the scene from the project view.

Open to community feedback.
