Dev Video: Level Editor "Design Tool"

Everyone's favorite Wardrobe editing tool is now functional in the level editor!

We've created a new Design Tool that mimics the behavior of the Wardrobe's tool, and it can be used on Props and/or Building Materials. It also supports Swatches and secondary recolor settings for select assets.

This has always been our goal, but the Wardrobe just so happened to receive it first!

In addition to the tool now working in the level editor, we've added a new shortcut to reset a design to its default state. Previously, you needed to undo your changes or remove and replace the item to restore the default values. Now, you can just hover over it and press the reset button... Good as new!

This reset feature and other improvements were also added to the Wardrobe!

Additionally, you can access design settings from a level object's settings panel. This means you can use the design tool as a shortcut, or select/multi-select things of varying types to recolor them all at once!

While the Wardrobe has hundreds of assets, the level editor has far more. This means we need to manually comb through all textures and edit them, their shaders, and default color values. This takes some time and is quite tedious!!

We do expect to leave some assets as-is, meaning they can still be recolored, but only as a tint instead of a full color replacement. We will try our best to update most assets with true recoloring overrides!

We're super happy that this tool is finally done and dusted. It's one of the most valuable things to use when customizing levels!
