ia scatter - 3DCGHub

ia scatter is an easy, fast and feature rich scattering tool for unreal engine.

It can be used to scatter instances of static meshes or blueprint actors on any surface. suitable for abstract, plants, nature, rocks, buildings, antennas on buildings, suitable for anything.

Whether you’re creating a large open-world environment or a small indoor scene, ia scatter will help you bring life to your project and create natural and immersive scenes in no time. This tool helps you scatter assets with a few clicks, creating a seamless and convincing environment in minutes, easily, with precision and control. Save time and increase productivity by avoiding tedious manual placement, while still retaining the flexibility to make changes on the fly.
