Unleash your creativity and design your own diorama in Outside the Blocks ‒ a full-featured model builder. Shape the terrain, assemble modular houses, add decorations and put your creation on display!
Hello to all the fans of building, modeling, and creating!
Summer is slowly coming to an end, which means it's time to get back to work on serious projects. In my case, it's a brand-new user interface for Outside the Blocks!
The new layout is entirely based on a circle (or multiple circles, depending on the selected mode), allowing users to quickly access the parameters that interest them while maximizing screen space usage.
Below, I present the final draft of the new application's appearance:

The redesign hasn't just touched upon the workspace but has also extended to the main menu and project menu. Here's a glimpse:

Regrettably, in terms of architecture, the new interface is highly customized, necessitating the development of numerous tools from the ground up. Nonetheless, I'm hopeful that in future updates, I'll be able to introduce something more advanced than a mere visual mockup created in a UI design program.
However, judging by the initial progress, my optimism is running high! Please wish me luck, and I'll look forward to seeing you in the next update!
