Manually dragging dozens of meshes into a 3D scene, aligning them to uneven ground, and randomizing transforms by hand gets old fast. Ultimate Asset Placer streamlines your entire 3D level design workflow right inside the Godot editor, whether you are scattering foliage, laying down roads, or snapping props to grids.

The plugin provides a clean editor dock with asset browsing, automated thumbnail generation, and multiple dedicated placement modes built for speed.

Core Placement Modes

• Surface Snapping: Raycasts directly against collision or geometry so meshes align naturally to terrain, slopes, and irregular surfaces.
• Grid and Vertex Snapping: Snap assets precisely along custom grid steps or to existing mesh vertices for modular kitbashing and building layouts.
• Free Placement: Place items anywhere in 3D space with manual control over depth and height offsets.
• Brush and Foliage Painting: Paint props across large areas with density control, radius adjustments, and automatic MultiMesh support for high-performance rendering.
• Path and Spline Distribution: Scatter or repeat meshes evenly along curves for fences, power lines, roads, and track layouts.

Workflow and Utility Features

• Transform Randomization: Automatically vary scale, height, and rotation on every stamp to keep scenes from looking repetitive.
• Built-in Asset Browser: Organize your 3D assets with tags, search, favorites, and quick groupings without cluttering your main FileSystem tab.
• Automatic Thumbnail Generator: Generates clean visual previews for your scene files and models on the fly.
• Collision and Material Overrides: Set up collision presets and tweak materials straight from the placement panel before instancing.
• In-Editor Documentation: Full reference guide and keybind hints are accessible directly inside the dock so you do not have to leave the engine to look up controls.
