We expect this to grow, with additions already planned such as:

Fast + Intuitive Texturing

Direct Editing of Color, Material, etc

Dissolve / Delete Any Element

All-New Guides and Videos

Missing something?

The base ProBuilder API is very, very good (facts 😎). So, if you are keen on other features or changes, we can probably do those as well – just ask! We’d love to hear what changes/additions you’d like to see.
