BUILDER'S MANUAL

Creative Mastery Guide

TessaWorld Team Creation Resources Advanced

Welcome, Architects of Orbis!

Greetings, travelers. If you are reading this on TessaWorld, you are ready to leave your mark on the world. Hytale's Creative Mode is not just about stacking blocks; it is a complete development suite placed in your hands. Forget conventional limits. Here, you have the power to raise mountains in seconds or design complex dungeons with the click of a button.

This manual is your essential reference for mastering the tools that will allow you to create masterpieces for our server or your own private worlds.


1. Scripted Brushes: Divine Terraforming

Let's start strong. Your inventory hides a tool of absolute power: Scripted Brushes. This isn't just painting; it's shaping reality on a massive scale.

  • What do they do? These are asset-defined brushes. By equipping them, you can paint entire mountains, lay down detailed paths, or summon procedurally generated ruins with a single stroke.
  • Hidden Power: These brushes are fully editable. If you like to experiment, use the node editor to customize their behavior, creating brushes that paint specific vegetation or crystalline structures instantly.

2. Quick Settings Panel

To build with precision, you need total control over your movement. The Creative Mode Quick Settings Panel is your command center.

  • Custom Flight: Adjust your flight speed and inertia. Reduce inertia to stop on a dime and place that vital block, or increase it to cover vast distances like a bird of prey.
  • Smart Context: This menu adapts dynamically based on the tool you are holding, offering relevant customization options without cluttering your screen.

3. Total Transformation! (Player Model Changer)

In Hytale, your physical form is as flexible as your creativity. The Player Model Changer unleashes your identity.

  • Beyond the Avatar: You are not limited to the human form. Transform into creatures of the world, from a small Kweebec to void beasts, or even assume the form of a Corgi to explore your builds from a new perspective (and close to the ground!). It's ideal for testing how players or enemies will interact with your structures.

4. Prefabs: Precision Architecture

The Prefab system is the heart of advanced construction.

  • Isolated Editing: Use the dedicated editing environment to work on complex structures without distractions. Load, modify, and save your creations in a safe space.
  • Paste Tool: When importing a structure into the world, forget about chance. The "Paste Tool" allows you to preview and nudge the structure block by block before confirming. Ensure your castle fits perfectly on the mountainside with no calculation errors.

5. Massive Construction Tools

Become a speed architect with these essential tools.

  • Shape Brush: Generate basic geometry instantly. Create spheres, cubes, cylinders, or pyramids by customizing material, density, and thickness. Perfect for the foundations of your grand projects.
  • Selection Tool (The Swiss Army Knife): Select any 3D area to manipulate it: save the content, move it, fill it with another material, or regenerate the original terrain if you change your mind. It also allows you to extrude shapes to raise walls quickly.

6. Filmmakers and Storytellers: Machinima Tool

For the chroniclers of TessaWorld, the Machinima Tool is the key to visual storytelling.

  • Camera Control: Act like a film director. Place "camera actors" and define keyframes. The system will interpolate movement smoothly, allowing you to create panoramic shots or action tracking sequences with cinematic quality.

7. Essential Utilities: Flight, Rulers, and Lasers

Small tools that make a huge difference:

  • Flight Modes: Toggle between static hover for precise building and directional flight for rapid travel.
  • Ruler: Measure exact distances or mark outlines to plan your buildings. Fundamental for maintaining symmetry and proportions.
  • Laser Pointer: The ultimate tool for collaboration. Use it to point out exact spots to other builders without the need for complex coordinates.

Conclusion

Creative Mode is an invitation to boundless imagination. Whether you are designing community events or simply experimenting, these tools are here to serve your vision. We look forward to seeing your creations adorning the landscapes of Orbis!
