G Scatter is a free add-on from the makers of Graswald, which gives you the power of Geometry Nodes... without having to learn Geometry Nodes ;) And besides coming with some free plants, you can use it to scatter any object you want on a surface in a nice artist-friendly interface.

Don't forget to randomize the Z rotation! As well as the X and Y, but just a tad on those!

As a blender beginner, I find these videos so useful for my current journey-

Thank you for creating well formatted content, I appreciate it!

Very useful addon, especially if you couple it with the Grasswald library for instance. it works well with a planar surface, but when you apply it to a cub or a sphere, all grass point to the same direction. I haven't found out yet how they can direct to the normal of the surface.

Finally a better version of old graswald

Thank you! This looks so easy to use. I'll download it asap.

Worth it... Although the assets are not as much as the Graswald Pro paid for...

This is AWESOME. Can't wait to try it.

I get nervous when I see the word beta, usually means when the final version comes out it'll be 19.95

[cg.man_aka_kevin]

But how do you make grass or plants have interactive object collisions with other objects such as a sphere or cube, etc. ( Based on Geometry nodes modification ).

Thanks a lot for this hint!
May i ask a question? There's little puddles on 0:50 (or 0:51), that compared with moss makes it looks like it's a swamp. How to make these puddles and moss? (If it wasn't part of tutorial already of course)

I can See a pretty high poly count on those. May better use tri quads for high density Environments

Hello, what's the difference with "GScatter" and the Scatter5

[GerardMenvussa]

I still haven't experimented with geometry nodes yet. Would you say this is the ideal solution for grass? Sounds like a powerful tool.

[Gothdir]

Whats the benefit of this being geometry nodes compared to particles? Botaniq has the exact same functionality accept its particle based.

[FelinaFaerlaingal]

Does this need another addon or something to work? I get an error message whenever I try to use it. I can import the assets, but not scatter them:
AttributeError: 'NodeLink' object has no attribute 'is_muted'

Well, I just went in the script, and commented the line the error mentioned and now it all works just fine

Hey, when i press Asset browser it just gives me a python traceback error, any ideas?
