Godot Asset Placer is a Godot 4 Editor plugin built for level design and scene population. It gives you a dedicated dock to browse, organize, and place 3D assets without hunting through the FileSystem or duplicating scenes by hand.

Sync asset folders from your project, then place props with a live viewport preview. Assets snap to collision surfaces, an infinite placement plane, or Terrain3D terrain. Rotate, scale, and translate the preview before placing (mouse wheel + axis shortcuts), with optional random rotation/scale and grid snapping for natural, varied layouts.

Organization & workflow

• Collections — group trees, rocks, buildings, etc.; filter and batch-manage assignments
• Asset palettes — numbered slots (1–0) for your most-used assets
• Folder rules — auto-assign collections or filter by filename when syncing folders
• Auto-grouping — place assets under nodes named after their primary collection
• Parent from selection — place as siblings under the currently selected Node3D

Placement modes

• Surface collisions (default) — raycast onto existing physics/collision geometry
• Plane placement — infinite plane at a configurable height and normal
• Terrain3D — align placement with Terrain3D surfaces

Additional tools

• In-place transform mode for existing scene nodes (Shift+E by default)
• Random asset placement from the filtered list
• Normal alignment and bottom/origin placement options
• Undo/redo integration
• Customizable key bindings, preview materials, transform steps, and update channel (Stable/Beta/Alpha)
• In-editor updates from GitHub releases

Supported formats: tscn, scn, glb, gltf, obj, fbx, blend

Ideal for environment artists, level designers, and anyone populating large 3D scenes in Godot 4.3+.
