Before you say anything, yes, the workplane works but not as fluidly or easily as this technique. And since the UI for this is sort of hidden, it seems worth bringing it out into the light where it can help people – and do good in the world.

You CAN get this same functionality through the workplane or custom action centers BUT doing it the way I’m going to show you allows you to have a custom coordinate system AND retain free use of the workplane and action centers.

So it’s a stacking power up as opposed to a one-time thing.

I hope you find this useful and I’ll see you in the next video!

Hi! I’m Warren Marshall!

I’m a freelance, hard surface 3D artist living in North Carolina. I specialize in hard surface work but I can do pretty much anything from environments to props.

I worked at Epic Games for over 15 years and started freelancing after that. Since then I’ve done prop and environment work for some fun projects, including We Happy Few from Compulsion Games and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. I’ve also done a bunch of asset packs for the various marketplaces.

I have experience with Unreal Engine 4 and Unity and know how to put assets together quickly that look good in those engines.

Here’s a link to my Art Station page where you can see a bunch of my latest work:
