We are amazed to see devs not only using #Defold Editor Scripts & UI to automate workflows - but also building whole tools inside the Defold editor! 💙

Here’s @insality.bsky.social making an in-editor asset store allowing you to browse and download them right in your project:

Editor Scripts and UIs are here to enable developers to create custom workflows tailored for their projects.

Here's an example of an automated creation of model files with materials and textures in batch from multiple GLTF files by @paweljarosz.bsky.social importing @kaylousberg.bsky.social assets:
I updated my Editor Scripts and UI collection, so now you can make in batch multiple Model or Sound components in Defold easily!
