GoBuild

Free, open-source in-editor mesh modelling for Godot 4.

Block out levels, sculpt geometry, and ship game-ready meshes without leaving the Godot editor.

What is GoBuild?

GoBuild is a Godot 4 EditorPlugin that brings in-editor mesh modelling directly into Godot. Create and edit 3D geometry at the vertex, edge, and face level — select elements, move and rotate them, and build scenes out of solid shapes, all without leaving the editor.

Designed for level blockout, architecture, and game-ready props. No external tools required for common geometry tasks.

Status
