Icons editor proposal

[SpiderMack]

Hi,

Editor icons are hard to figure what they are for , i had to roll over with mouse cursor and read text to understand what they are meaned for.

So i made some quick draft proposal to redo some icons


What do you think ?

Or should it be replaced by some 3D models icons in that style ?


Or does it not matters ?

Thank you for the input, we have been thinking about these icons for a while now as these were only place holders but never found anything else worth replacing them with.
Your idea of 3D icons look good but would they look good as small toolbar icons?
These icon dont need to be big as they would take up too much space but we agree they do need an update.

We are open to looking at replacements if some thing catches our eyes

If you take a look at UE4 editor, they have simple icons made from 3D with some word below in case you forgot the functionnality.
It's a good example of a good menu.

For example Designer icon is explicit


Another example is in their doc page where you have a list of icons

2D icons can do the job also.

It's not something urgent or something needed, but later getting some unified menu and colors could make it look some more pro

I agree that getting a unified set of icons would help make the editor toolbar look better. Going to have to wait though as icon art is not or priority atm, but if some one was to provide us with some cool looking icons which we felt fitted the engine then adding them would take no time at all.
