The Procedural Foliage Placement Tool lets you populate your scene with foliage in a matter of seconds. The tools allows for extensive configuration, including slope and height, obstacle avoidance, and 8 different spawning methods. Spawn 3 types of entities – meshes, instanced static meshes, and blueprint actor classes (any).

TRAILER

Spawning Methods:

• Random Location – spawns foliage at random locations in the volume
• Organic Clusters – spawns clusters of foliage, where each entity spawns near the previous entity with a random offset
• Clusters around actor – spawns foliage around your specified actors
• Along spline actors – spawns foliage along an actor’s spline component
• Random patches – Spawns foliage in a uniform patch pattern inside the volume
• Grid Distribution – spawns foliage in a strict grid distribution inside the volume
• Spawn on Spawn Zones – spawns foliage only inside the specified Spawn Zones (volumes assigned by the dev)
• Hierarchical Clusters – spawns foliage in a hierarchy giving a more logical distribution

All methods above respect slope and height restrictions and have obstacle avoidance.

Bonus:

• Advanced Landscape Auto Material – auto material that blends layers by height and slope. It also spawns foliage in all layers.
• River Tool – Spline-based river tool.
