Tool Trees

Would be cool if I could modify a prop after I bonemerged it. Hm? What's do these tools do?

Tool Trees is a set of rendering tools that can be used for modifying the appearance of an entity and its bonemerged descendants. They can be found in the Render category.

They currently consist of three tools:

• Color Tree, for painting an entity,
  
• Model Tree, for setting an entity's skin, bodygroups, or model, and
  
• Material Tree, for setting the (sub)materials of an entity.

These additional tools extend upon the abilities of their regular counterparts by adding UI for modifying an entity's descendants, as well as settings to quickly modify multiple bonemerged entities at once.

For ease of use, the UI for these tools resemble the original GMod tools, as well as those found around the workshop (such as Rubat's Easy Bodygroup Tool or the Model tool from Stik's Tools). If that doesn't convince you, I would also watch the preview video to see how they work.


The Color Tree from Tool Trees conditionally adds material proxy support for the following addons if the user subscribes to them:

• Hat Painter and Crit Glow Tools: ItemTintColor, YellowLevel, and ModelGlowColor proxies can be used.
  
• Cloak Effect Tool: spy_invis, invis, weapon_invis, and building_invis proxies can be used.
  
• Stik's Tools or Ragdoll Colorizer: PlayerColor proxy can be used. If both are installed, this tool will interface with Stik's Tools instead of the Ragdoll Colorizer.

The Color Tree uses the entities and functions from these tools to tint, glow up, or cloak bonemerged props. Nothing happens if these tools aren't installed.

The Color Tree can also color submaterials through the Advanced Colour Tool if it is installed.
