In order to upload the completed Prefab to STYLY, you need some preparations such as setting up the account, installing the plug-in.

Please refer to the article below for the details.

Summary

That’s all for the explanation of how to create a quality spaceship in a flash.

Staring from here:

Change the rule to generate the spaceship;

Modify the add-on to generate a robot or a car instead of a spaceship;

How about trying the automatic generation of various things?
