Model Plane

Overview

Creates a single polygon plane for game engines. This is the smallest primitive in the Model workflow for low-poly 3D assets with pixel-art textures, and serves as the base for ground, signs, and billboards.

Usage tips

• The basic Model workflow is: create a primitive → assign a texture with model_set_material → review it with model_render → export it to an engine with model_gltf_export.
• The plane has automatic UVs and a named top region. Draw a pixel-art texture to match the texture_layout output, then apply it directly.
• This is a one-sided polygon visible from +z. For a sign or billboard that must be visible from both directions, group it with a second, flipped Plane.
• Unlike the Solid workflow, whose final output is a pixel-art image, the polygon model itself is the deliverable in the Model workflow. Choose the workflow based on the intended output.
