We need to make a PA and start migrating to this eventually. Maybe wait and see what Halo 6 is gonna be but this looks way more promising.
can one just alter one piece or a group, or does it have to be global across all pieces sharing that texture?
You can change each block separately, he just grouped the entire map. Yes, there are groups too, and prefabs, magnets, rotation snap, quick search, pre-match camera...
Some textures and RGB colors are missing, there are many many more. Particurarly, all the glass textures and the invisible material are missing. And there are glossy and matte versions of ALL rgb colors.
I’ll definitely be checking it out when the update gets released. If ‘purely fat’ and ‘Chunk’ migrate, the gravity field generated by our mass will pull the whole community along with us.
