Nexus Vertex Painter
This is a powerful, artist-friendly tool to paint vertex color channels (RGBA) directly in the 3D editor. It is designed for Level Design, Texture Splatting, and Shader Masks, offering a workflow similar to industry-standard tools like Unreal Engine or Substance Painter. --- Key Features: --- Paint Modes: Add, Subtract, Set (absolute value), Blur/Smooth and Sharpen to blend colors organically. Brush Stencils (Alphas): Drag & drop textures to paint complex details like grunge, cracks, or leaves. Uses Triplanar Projection to wrap seamlessly around corners. Smart Masking: Automatically mask your painting by Slope (Angle). Perfect for painting grass only on flat terrain or moss only on steep walls. Procedural Generators: Apply global effects with one click: Noise, Top-Down (Snow/Dust), and Bottom-Up (Rising Water/Gradient). --- Production Workflow --- Non-Destructive: Painting creates a modifier node, keeping your original .glb or .tscn files untouched. Bake to Resource: When you are finished, click "Bake" to save a permanent, game-ready .res file for maximum performance. Revert: Changed your mind? Revert the mesh to its original import state with a single click. Safe: Full Undo/Redo support. --- Pro Controls --- Visual Feedback: The brush cursor projects physically onto the mesh, ensuring visibility even on transparent or unshaded materials. Includes a visual Strength Meter. Mouse Shortcuts: Ctrl + Right Click + Drag: Adjust Size & Strength. Shift + Right Click + Drag: Adjust Falloff (Hardness). Keyboard Shortcuts: X and Z/Y to toggle Blend Modes, 1-4 to toggle Channels. Ctrl + Z: Undo Ctrl + Shift + Z: Redo --- Support --- Need help or want to share your work?

TerrainCrafter for Godot 4
This is a procedural terrain generator that emphasizes ease of use and performance. It will create an infinite landscape around the player ship that will continue for as long as you keep flying, with the only limits being floating point errors from traveling too far away from the origin. Future plans include chunk pooling, and origin reset for truly infinite flying, and optimization of generation to reduce sharp edges. **UPDATE V1.1.0** This update introduces multi-threading for terrain generation. Generation should happen much faster initially, and the runtime generation happens in the background smoothly without jacking the gameplay up.

3D Fighting Camera
Camera 3D that follows Characters on the stage. This plugin supports regular movement (forward, backward and vertical), lateral movement (side steps), detects side changes (cross-ups and cross-unders). Also interpolates its translation for a smooth camera movement. The "FM" slot refers to the "Fighter Manager" node of your Characters, such "FM" node can be a "Node3D" that must have an Script attached to it; That Script must have declared 2 String variables called "current_sidePJ1" and "current_sidePJ2" so the plugin can notice you in wich side your Characters are on. These 2 String varibles are updated with the values "LEFT" or "RIGHT", giving you the signal that your Characters have changed sides.

Physics Collision Import Generator
Automatically generate physics bodies and collision shapes for 3D scenes from GLB/GLTF files. Select files in the Collision Import Generator dock, choose a shape type, and apply the changes. The plugin sets up import scripts that automatically add physics on each reimport. This captures both the user action (applying via the dock) and the persistent behavior (the import script runs on future reimports). After enabling the plugin (Project → Project Settings → Plugins), a new dock panel named "Collision Import Generator" will appear beside the FileSystem dock.

Terrain splitter
A lightweight Godot 4 editor add-on that takes a single, massive MeshInstance3D and seamlessly slices it into a grid of smaller, optimized chunks directly within the editor. How to use: Select any MeshInstance3D node in your scene tree. Look at the top of your 3D Viewport (next to the Translate/Rotate/Scale tools) and click the new Split Terrain button. A menu will pop up. Enter the number of chunks you want for the X and Z axes. Check Make static bodies if you want collision shapes generated for the chunks (highly recommended for walkable terrain). Click OK. The addon will calculate the bounds, slice the triangles, re-index the vertices to save memory, and spawn the new chunks as children of your original mesh.
