Those are just some of the exciting new features. There's a full video walking through the update on my youtube. You can get the latest Scythe on my Patreon for just $10 right now, and it'll be released on FAB as soon as it's ready. Learn more about Scythe here: scytheeditor.com

We now have a modern lightmap tool with Scythe's Auto-Lightmapper Tool. Unreal's lightmap unwrapper is ancient, and Epic likely won't be improving it, so I'm confident in saying this is the best lightmap unwrapper in Unreal today. It uses the same lightmap unwrap as Godot.

For UE 5.8+ only: Soft selection. This is something that came in UE 5.8 by Epic, I just hooked it up to Scythe.

Visible mesh previews as you transform the mesh, as well as a new delta measurement showing how far you went.

One-click element selection. It used to take multiple clicks to do this in Scythe previously.

If you don't know what a hotspot is, it's a texture with a bunch of different well-defined rectangles that Scythe will perfectly fit to geo faces. You can use trimsheets too. Here's the what the UVs look like from the above example.

A few weeks ago I released an update to Scythe, my Unreal Engine level editor, which has a lot of QoL features and cool new stuff. Here's a list of some of the cool stuff starting with "hotspot locking":

Great article. The only thing I want to kindly mention is HL: Alyx doesn't use a single brush. I know you said it's a revamped system, but it's static meshes that are made to feel like brushes. I've been working on a level editor for a few years that does the same thing as those HL: Alyx's tools.

More tools being made for Unreal that give level designers a bit more agency without needing a dedicated coder or even going into blueprints. It's @joewintergreen.com's Input/Output plugin that mimics a lot of what you could do in Hammer.

Flow Textures around a curve with a simple [Ctrl + Alt + Right Click]. You can do all this in the Fast Texture Tool above with a Follow Quads unwrap too, but sometimes things are faster this way.

Scythe now has its own UV Editor called the "Fast Texture Tool" and is built with speed in mind and heavily inspired by Source 2 Hammer. The blue rectangle is the size of the geometry in the world to help with your texel density.

Hotspots rewritten to use multiple new unwraps so angles and curves are possible now. Select faces and Shift + H to choose the perfect hotspot for them.

I made this from nothing and textured it in 20 minutes with the new Scythe 0.10 update. It's called "The Texturing Update" for a reason. More below...

This is all in the Unreal Engine editor. This Scythe update is still in heavy development but that's what I have to show so far!

Cylinders don't need seam marking, it just knows it wraps back on itself so it marks a seam. It breaks your selection into its own island.

This combines 3 different things in Scythe to UV this. 2 of them are new.

A way to flow textures around a curve by just Ctrl + Alt + RMB on a face.
