A recent addition to the 3D Unity tools is Probuilder, which allows you to create and manipulate geometry inside the Unity Editor. Much more powerful than the existing Terrain editor, Probuilder allows you to create 3D Primitives and then manipulate them, such as by extruding or moving Vertices, Edges, or Faces, and then painting with colors or texturing with Materials.
In this recipe, we'll create some geometry that might be useful for an original game, or to add to a 3D Gamekit Scene (such as the Scene worked with in the following recipe).
