Skatter is Your Best Friend
From small carpets in a living room to large scale forests, Skatter is designed to help you achieve the final look fast and easy.
RENDER UNLIMITED AMOUNTS OF OBJECTS
Through its “Render only” feature, Skatter sends all the scattering information directly to the render engines, bypassing Sketchup. That way, you keep a lightweight and responsive file while still being able to render huge amounts of objects.
FULLY PARAMETRIC
Go back and edit your work at any time. Every option and parameter is saved, so there’s no need to delete everything and restart from scratch.
CONTENT LIBRARY
Create huge grass fields in just 4 clicks. Expect regular free updates with awesome new content (more vegetation, trees, gravel, carpets, etc).
Fine Control Over the Scattering Process
Thanks to dozens of options and parameters. Yet keep things simple with the adaptive UI. See the list of features below.
Your Skatter Production Can be Rendered by All Render Engines!
The “Render only” feature is currently supported by Thea, V-Ray, Corona, Twilight, Indigo, Raylectron and Kerkythea. You can still use Skatter with any other render engine (Octane, Maxwell, Shaderlight, Podium, LightUp, etc), by actually generating the objects in the model.
Skatter is a Smart Thoughtful Solution
The brainchild of Architect and 3D Artist Thomas Hauchecorne and brought to you by 3D Artist and ArchVIZ Blogger Ronen Bekerman, Skatter is made to fit your needs!
HOSTS
Scatter objects on surfaces, along curves, or pick individual points in the model.
AREAS
Define precise areas where you want to distribute or not the scattered objects, by using SketchUp curves and objects, or by painting them yourself.
CAMERA CLIPPING
Generate only the objects visible by the camera, or discard the ones too far away.
DISTRIBUTION
Distribute objects randomly, on a grid, or a mix of the two, on vertices, faces, etc. Use altitude, slope, and collisions parameters to fine tune the distribution. Use probabilities when scattering multiple types of objects, to define precise mixtures.
RANDOMNESS
Randomize the objects placement by using random translation, rotation, scale, and mirroring.
FALLOFFS
To avoid hard cutoffs, you can use falloff parameters with areas, altitude, slope, camera clipping, to define smooth transitions.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Is Skatter supported by my render engine?
Skatter’s “Render only” feature is currently supported by Thea, V-Ray, Corona, Twilight, Raylectron, Indigo, and Kerkythea.
To use Skatter with all the other render engines, you’ll need to uncheck “Render only”. If you want your favourite render engine to support Skatter, please go ahead an submit this request with the engine’s developers. It has to happen on their side as Skatter has no control over this.
Can I use Skatter for other purposes than rendering?
Yes! Absolutely. If you don’t activate the “Render only” feature, Skatter will generate regular components. So you can use it for whatever you want.
On how many computers can I use one license?
For each license of Skatter, you can install it on no more than two computers, provided that it is used on only one computer at a time.
