Drop Cast: A Physics-Based Scattering Tool for Blender
Casey_Sheep, a developer known for creating numerous useful addons, has released "Drop Cast," a new physics-based scattering tool for Blender. This addon simplifies the process of populating scenes with assets, using physics for realistic placement.
With Drop Cast, you can transform any asset collection into a complete scene in seconds. No more tedious manual placement—just drop, scatter, and you're done.
Key Features
- Real-time Physics Drop Mode: Easily operate with simple hotkeys:
Tabto generate,Gto drag, andEnterto finish. - Clean Control: Manage generation weights, hide assets individually, and use custom icons for better organization.
- Natural Variation: Achieve organic looks with random size and rotation on a per-axis basis.
- Simple Passive Colliders: Set up colliders with options for Convex Hull, Mesh, Box, or Sphere.
- Lightweight Instances: All placed objects are linked instances, keeping file sizes small and performance high.
- Effortless Asset Placement: Scatter objects throughout your scene with just a few clicks.
- Fully Customizable: Set individual spawn probabilities for each asset, randomize sizes, and adjust the dimensions of the drop area.
Drop Cast comes with a unique "garbage" asset pack. Please note that these assets are not optimized for games but are ideal for concept art, quickly filling out scenes, or experimental purposes.
While there are many scattering addons available, Drop Cast stands out for its convenience and ease of use.
Drop Cast is available on the Superhive (formerly Blender Market) for $16.
