The most powerful Scattering Extension for SketchUp.

Render huge amounts of vegetation, quickly populate city blocks, create parametric assemblies, crowds, carpets, you name it… All right inside SketchUp!

Bring your models to life

Cover your terrains with vegetation presets with a couple of clicks, or bring your own assets to quickly populate your scenes with people, rocks, cars, buildings, furniture…

Render without restrictions

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 SketchUp model, while still being able to render huge amounts of objects.

Mimic Nature’s organic appearance

Nature is both random and organized. Skatter has many features to simulate both and fine-tune the asset distribution and placement.

Content Library

Skatter comes bundled with 3D Bazaar, an extensive repository of high-quality render-ready assets.
Many vegetation assets come with ready-to-use Skatter compositions, so you can instantly apply them in your scene without spending time finding the right parameters.

You are always in control

Manually or parametrically fine-tune the distribution of objects using masks and other advanced features.

Speed up your workflow

The clean and intuitive User Interface will get you started in no time, while allowing you to precisely fine-tune advanced parameters.

Skatter is also non-destructive: you can go back and edit your work at any time. Every option and parameter is saved, so there is no need to delete everything and restart from scratch.
