A 3D editor built for and with Bevy. Very early in dev, expect bugs and changes! A BSN-friendly branch exists on the bsn-editor branch (the flow is to read/write to the BSN AST and then sync to the ECS for rendering the UI and viewport).
We have also recently refactored our UX/UI to be very similar to the official Bevy Editor Figma design, to keep things consistent. Link here

- Brush-based geometry draw, edit, and CSG-combine convex brushes with vertex/edge/face/clip editing modes
- Material system VERY wip - texture browser, material definitions with ORM auto-detection, per-face application
- Terrain heightmap sculpting and texture painting, very WIP :)
- Scene serialization save/load scenes in the
.jsnformat with full asset references. Ideally to be replaced with BSN once ready. - Transform tools translate, rotate, scale with grid snapping and axis constraints
- Undo/redo full command history - some bugs atm with this
- Extensible register custom components, add inspector panels, integrate with your game
