A powerful scatter tool for Godot 4.x to quickly populate your 3D scenes with meshes like trees, rocks, grass, etc.
Originally inspired by arcaneenergy/godot-multimesh-scatter,
but heavily extended and improved.

• ✅ Convert selected MeshInstance3D nodes into a single MultiMesh
• ✅ Convert into a custom ScatterMultiMesh node with:
  • Box, Sphere and NEW Grid placement
  • Procedural or Baked scatter modes
  • Random rotation, scale, and offsets
  • Snap to surfaces option
• ✅ Extract an existing MultiMeshInstance3D back into individual meshes
• ✅ Undo/Redo friendly
• ✅ Debug display (placement volume visualization in editor)

Here are some examples of the scatter tool in action:

random_rotation

1. Copy the addons/multimesh_scatter folder into your project or download the addon from the asset library inside Godot.
   • Import the addons folder into your project (if it already isn't present).
2. In Godot Editor: Project → Project Settings → Plugins → Enable "MultiMesh Scatter Tools"

• The sphere placement type takes placement_size.x for 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.

1. Select one or multiple MeshInstance3D nodes.
2. Use the top editor menu → Tools:
   • Convert Selection to MultiMesh
   • Convert Selection to ScatterMultiMesh
   • Extract MultiMesh to Instances
3. Configure ScatterMultiMesh parameters directly in the Inspector.
