MB is a lightweight outdoor level editor ideal for 3DGS beginners for creating game scenes within minutes without deep 3D knowledge. It is terrain based, populating with sprites, models, and wmb entities is really easy, just one click. Entity placement and modification, sky and material adjustment, terrain deformation and texture painting in real time, by a simple graphic interface, with open source save/load system. Wmb levels can be opened and exported too, from version: v.1.07. Postprocessing in WED is possible by .$$m files. Freeware resources are included in the package. Compatible with both A7 and A8 engines. Suited for 3DGS 'Free' and 'Extra' editions of 3DGS. Later some additions of shader functionality can be expected for 'Commercial' users. The editor package, 4 simple example game projects (open source, containing the necessary MB level loading scripts), a script and file package for creating new projects, and the (partially ready) online documentation can be found at MapBuilder homepage . There are also some other resources and tutorials too. Everything for free  More screenshots showing menu options and example scenes Video Tutorials The integrated RTS pathfinder and game AI system in development

Awesome work! I love the little jumpy motion newly created objects make! One thing I do notice though is that the editor is very specific to terrain-levels. You say it is terrain based, so I guess that's what you're going for, but if you ever want it to be more than that, maybe a grid and snap-to-grid (and snap-to-vertex/snap-to-object) functions would be useful. I hate your mouse pointer though. It looks much less professional than everything else in the editor  . If I were you, I'd choose something that's very much like the ubuntu standard pointer. It needs to be thinner (more pointy) and smaller.

ahh... I spent at least one minute with making that mouse pointer  you are absolutely right snap to grid is implemented, there is a checkbox []snap both on obstacle models and map entities panel in the left middle somewhere... normally on, and entity middles are then set to closest tile middle. but it should be also for shrubs as they are also colliding entities... snap to object is planned later for multi-entity buildings only. I think it will be terrain specific forever, because I started to make it for my own purposes, and the whole editor is built around an automated terrain analysis and map decomposition process needed by my pathfinder and AI system.
