Shatter



Shatter (formerly called Shatter for Blender, Smash Hit Tools for Blender, Smash Hit Blender Tools or SHBT) is a fan-made level editor created by Knot126 as an extension to the 3D modelling software Blender.

History
Smash Hit Blender Tools was first released on 21 September 2020 by Knot126. The project was created after seeing that Megadron had abandoned his editor project and knowing that Blender had been used as a level editor for some Super Monkey Ball games.

When it first released, it had support for exporting every type of entity and supported the "stone hack" to allow stone to appear despite the lack of mesh file baking support. There was an attempt to refactor the addon in version 0.100, but the changes were reverted in 0.103.

SHBT version 0.107, released on 17 Feburary 2021, was the first version to support mesh file baking, although it was buggy. In version 0.109, some features from previous versions had been removed, though they were readded in version 1.0.0.

Version 2.0.0 was the next major version and featured a completely rewritten mesh baker which was less buggy, many user exprience improvements and fixed many old issues. Version 2.1.0 added features to quickly test segments and to automatically update the addon, as well as reogranising the user interface.

In June 2023, Smash Hit Blender Tools was rebranded and forked to Shatter and switched to using a date-based version naming scheme.
