Extension summary

A set of extensions for the PlayCanvas editor. Implemented as a Google Chrome extension.

  • Decimate models right in the asset window
  • Clean up your materials so only 1 copy of each material remains with models updated
  • Downsize textures with a high quality resample.
  • Copy and Paste components and scripts between entities
  • Copy and Paste between projects (experimental)
  • Colour model view in the assets panel and preview window (no more grey shadows!)
  • See whole of asset name in the asset panel
  • Bake together meshes to reduce draw calls and improve performance
  • Quickly select the Root node and collapse others
  • Quickly select the parent of an entity
  • Powerful search with RegEx, supports component names, entity names etc and returns all matches (unlike the normal hierarchy search)
  • Drop to root - enables items being dropped from the asset panel to be located at the position of the selected entity but then parented to the root - stops accidental creation of complicated deep structures when designing scenes
  • Snap to grid - snaps one or more entities that are already in the scene to the current grid interval - normal snapping in PlayCanvas does not round the existing position, but only move
