DreamUV VS qodot-plugin

I did manage to find a tool for Blender called DreamUV (https://github.com/leukbaars/DreamUV) that seems to work well for hotspot texturing. However, I would prefer to use Maya for this project since I'm more familiar with it.

Honestly, no. You can use Blender and blend file importing and take advantage of it's addons like LevelBuddy and DreamUV(the hotspot texturing in particular), or you can use Qodot.

DreamUV

I did hear about a blender uv add on called dream uv that auto uvs as you work in blender. I haven’t tried it myself but I have some old game developer coworkers who’ve made the switch to blender and they seem to really dig it. https://github.com/leukbaars/DreamUV

Dream UV is a free add-on you can get from it's creator Bram Eulaer's Github page. It allows you to add textures to objects without having to labor over UV maps at all. It uses something called a "texture atlas". Floaters 2 footage by Karl Poyzer. Get the add-on here: https://github.com/leukbaars/DreamUV

It's called Hotspot. It's a technique where the software automatically places the faces of a mesh on an atlas texture based on their sizes. Some softwares are doing when you press a button (like DreamUV for Blender or this tool for ProBuilder), while others (like Source 2 or this video which comes from UModeler) are doing it as you edit the mesh, which is a bit more impressive but not that much different.

Thanks for showing me another Blender-Addon i didn't know about...

I've had a lot of success with Qodot and TrenchBroom for blocking

I know basically nothing about this https://github.com/QodotPlugin/qodot-plugin but perhaps it may be helpful.

Like /u/mistermashu mentioned, check out Qodot + Trenchbroom

I personally use Qodot: https://github.com/QodotPlugin/qodot-plugin since my skill with Blender is just OK, it makes building low-poly interiors very easy, and my game has a retro low-poly look to it.

For reference, here's the add-on link: https://github.com/QodotPlugin/qodot-plugin

There's the Qodot plugin for godot, which lets you import quake maps. I think the workflow would be pretty similar to the of source. Might wanna check that out.

The yellow rectangles are just a Godot MeshInstance with a cube mesh applied and stretched with a yellow grid texture applied to it. The rest of the level was made in TrenchBroom, a Doom / ID engine level editor and then imported and compiled in Godot using Qodot with a gray grid texture applied

Nobody use qodot https://github.com/QodotPlugin/qodot-plugin ? I find it pretty simple. If you don't use it, tell me why and what are the pro of your alternative. Thanks.
