Plugin logo

A Godot plugin for painting foliage and props on any 3D surface

README Animated cover

What is it for?

It's meant to simplify foliage placement in a natural-feeling way without having to use heightmap terrain or writing procedural placement algorithms.

It can also handle thousands of foliage instances without completely tanking the FPS (with an reasonable setup).

This is a single player plugin and works best with finite medium-sized scenes. Think platformers, shooters, adventure games, anything with a hand-made level.

Stability

This plugin requires at least Godot v3.4.2, but should work fine on any subsequent versions (excluding Godot 4.0).

Its relatively stable on Windows, but not tested on other platforms.

Want a test-drive? Go to Releases and get the most recent windows build: godot_spatial_gardener_showcase_windows_x64.zip.
