Really like the look of this and modifying from face level is very handy for the old school dev. What about the options to select verts, can see face/edge but verts opens up more fine control.
Only other feature I would love is to rejig scale, scaling equally from the centre is a bug of mine is the option to sale in 1 direction a possibility?
Thanks guys for all the encouragement!
@mclarke1987, you can edit not only face and edge but also vertex. My last couple videos did not show that obviously because I was mostly working on edge/face features. Will soon start working on vertex split/weldge.
Regarding the scale from one side instead from center, my understanding is that might be more useful in acotr level than in vert/edge/face level. In fact I was thinkg about making a tool specific for that purpose, something like the “slabs tool” use in witness game.
Update: DevLog Week5
Vertex Snap:
Inset:
Shift Drag to Extrude:
DevLog Week5 Cont.
Vertex Operations: Collapse/Weld Vertices, Create Face
Turn Edge:
wow keep on the good work. cant wait to see it released !!
This has really progressed since the first video I saw and I’m looking forward to the day I get to try this out.
Keep up the good work 
Hey @ - Got a few questions about this tool.
Personally speaking I would love to see texturing done similar to the old school Quake or Doom ED tools.
For example - take a material and apply it to the face of the wall, floor, ceiling, etc.
You have really made some great progress this week. Any chance that we will be able to turn off tris and get only quads for viewing + selection?
I can’t even express how much I am looking forward to getting my hands on this man. I got into game dev back in the Quake days and I hate the modern 3D modelling approach to world design (only because I suck in those apps 
it looks great haha). If you need any more hands to be raised for testing then please definitely consider me haha. Otherwise, do you have any sort of ETA on a release and price? No issues if not, just figured it can’t hurt to ask
Sorry for reply late. ( Got pretty tied up this weekend. )
As Mesh Tool works on Static Mesh (RawMesh) level, it can only see Vertex/Edge/Triangle for now. But I do plan to add a “Pseudo Quad” mode on top of that. (And ways to hide partical edges/triangles display to improve readability of complex level/mesh)
Thanks! I would really like to reach beta stage in 2 or 3 weeks (hopefully). Regarding the price, I’m thinking about $30~50 range, but I’m open to any pricing suggestion.
What about existing UV map (and what about Lightmap UV map) and texture alignment ? Will it be preserved after deleting triangles and adjusting vertices ?
@motorsep, for existing UV, if “Auto UV” is on, it will be updated by the auto texture alignment; if “Auto UV” is off, it will stay intact. And Mesh Tool only deals with UV 0, so the Light Map UV (usually UV 1) will stay put.
Deleting triangles will not affect existing UV map.

As the new dev-geometry branch, I’ve only looking into it briefly, and quite impressed by the OpenSubDiv integration (though not sure about the performance implication). One major technical difference between the dev-geometry branch and Mesh Tool is that dev-geometry is base on new EditableMesh runtime (With SubDiv suupport), while Mesh Tool is working on plain old StaticMesh. Mesh tool currently has more low poly editing tools while the dev-geometry branch has the SubDiv editing capability, but beyond that I’m afraid it’s still too earily to make a fair comparision.
Hey @ -
When do you plan on putting this on the marketplace?
@
This looks amazing.
Do you plan on adding a Bandsaw tool?
Something similar to this:
Basically it allows you to select a loop of polygons, then add in cuts to the selected loop. Super useful. 
I plan to submit a marketplace review version to Epic by end of this month.
Personally I believe all c++ plugin on marketplace should come with full source, so user always has the choice to do whatever she want to the source. Mesh Tool will come with full source code for sure like all my other plugins.
Thanks @motorsep, those were my weekend reading materials.
Thanks for the video, it sure looks very useful tool to add edge loops. But as Mesh Tool curently only support triangles (no quad yet), the edge loop detection is a little hard for now.
Week 6 - Cut & Duplicate
Week 6 - Bridge Edge
Week 6 - Assign Material
