Features
Grass
Combined with the provided grass assets, Blender's hair system can be used to add styled grass to the scenes.
Randomize
Even after the forest has been generated, you can still edit tree position by moving the base mesh vertices around, as well as rotate the trees using the random proportional editing and the individual origin pivot point.
Custom assets
Distribute your own assets randomly on the generated terrains to give a more personal look to your scenes.
Building Blocks
Copy and assemble the generated terrain tiles to build wider terrains.
How it works
Tree interpolation
Forest are randomly sampled between the selected presets
Terrain generation
You can change the proportional editing shape to give a different style to the generated terrain.
