Scatter Sketch : Blender for 2D Artists

Scatter Sketch will revolutionize how 2D artists compete in the ever-changing landscape of the entertainment industry. This powerful, yet intuitive tool is designed specifically for 2D illustrators, concept artists, storyboard artists, previs, and visual development artists who are eager to step into the world of 3D without the steep learning curve of traditional 3D modeling and texturing.

Scatter Sketch allows you to effortlessly scatter your own hand-painted PNGs across a 3D space, enabling you to quickly build immersive elements like forests, cities, armies, clouds, VFX, and more. Say goodbye to repetitive painting and hello to enhanced storytelling, atmosphere, and depth in your art!

Key Features:

• Simple and intuitive interface for easy use - Geometry Nodes working in the background behind the scenes.
• Scatter your own custom PNGs with just a few clicks using premade template controllers.
• Your art style, but with the power of Blender's lighting, atmosphere, and cameras.
• Image planes will follow the camera at any angle, so we never see the thin side of a 2D asset.
• Bring your assets to life with the experimental Animation Tab!
• Designed with Eevee in mind for stylized art with snappy performance and fast render times.
