Asset Placement

Asset Placement Techniques

• Direct Placement:

  • Drag assets directly from Quixel Bridge
  • Proxy mesh shows while downloading
  • Instant placement in world

• Quixel Scatter Blueprint:

  • Key settings:

    • Initial random seed
    • Meshes to spawn (up to 50)
    • Radius control (spacing)

  • Randomization controls:

    • Rotation ranges
    • Scale (min/max)
    • Location offset
    • Height adjustment

  • Tips:

    • Keep mesh count under 50 for performance
    • Bake to level for permanent placement
    • Organize scattered assets in folders

• Prefab Creation:

  • Create blueprint class
  • Add components:
    • Static meshes
    • Position/rotate within prefab

• Prefab Benefits:

  • Instance management:
    • Individual instance adjustments
    • Global updates via master blueprint
  • Reusable assemblies
  • Efficient scene organization

• Best Practices:

  • Test different random seeds
  • Use slight negative Z offset for natural ground contact
  • Organize assets in logical folders
  • Start simple with prefabs
  • Consider performance with scatter density
