A simple tool to randomly place meshes.
- Scatter objects in the scene. Instances automatically rotate to the normal of the terrain.
- Adjust the scatter type, size and collision layer and randomize the size and rotation.
- Clustering: Place instances in tight groups together.
- Apply advanced constraint options to scatter according to:
- Terrain angle
- Vertex color
- Chunks: Split the MultiMeshScatter node into chunks.
- Download this repository or download the addon from the asset library inside Godot.
- Import the addons folder into your project (if it already isn't present).
- Activate the MultiMesh Scatter addon under Project > Project Settings > Plugins. If an error dialog appears, restart the engine and try activating it again.
- Add a MultiMeshScatter node to the scene.
- The sphere placement type takes
placement_size.xfor the radius. The y and z values are not used. - The sphere placement type behaves more like a capsule shape. This means that only the horizontal radius is taken into account when scattering meshes.
- Scattering occurs automatically in the editor whenever you change a parameter or move the MultiMeshScatter node. In game mode, the scatter occurs once at the beginning of the game.
