LOYAL-Array-Modifier

A Blender-inspired Unity Editor tool for generating linear and circular arrays of GameObjects.

Level design often involves placing repetitive elements like fences, pillars, or circular structures. This tool brings the classic "Array Modifier" workflow to Unity, providing a fast, non-destructive way to duplicate and distribute objects with a real-time preview and built-in randomization.

Why we built this

While developing, we spent some time manually to placing and aligning repetitive environmental assets. We missed the elegance of Array modifier, so we built this tool to speed up our level design process. It allows for instant, highly customizable object distribution right in the Scene View, keeping the creative flow uninterrupted.
