Level creation in Armory

Hello! In the previous post I told you about the Armory engine, now we will create our first level in it. In fact, creating levels in Armory is practically no different from working in the same Unreal or Unity - you can also import assets, create your own right there (this is Blender!), Apply textures and other things. As I mentioned, to work with the engine, you need a knack for working with Blender, since Armory is closely related to it. I won't go into detail on how to add a plane, cube or lamp to the scene - just work with the engine. Ready? Let's start then.

First of all, you can download a ready-made template file , based on which we will analyze what and how it works. In the archive, we need playground.blend. Click and run. Now let's see what launch options we have.

Build and publish our project is located in Properties - Render - Armory Exporter. You can make several export presets, each with a platform, API, path, and scene to launch. Select the required platform (for example Windows) and click Publish. Exported and collected files can be viewed by clicking the triangle (highlighted in red) - Open Folder.
