Procedural Set Dressing Plugin for Game Engines
A game engine plugin that allows programmers to define logical rules for asset placement and automatically populates greybox levels with props, clutter, and foliage. It translates the artistic task of set dressing into a logical, rule-based system that programmers can easily control.
これが重要な理由
You are a solo developer who just spent months perfecting your game's core mechanics. Now, you face the daunting task of building the actual levels. You have gigabytes of purchased 3D assets, but staring at an empty digital grid leaves you paralyzed. Placing every single barrel, tree, and coffee cup manually feels like an endless, soul-crushing chore. Because you lack an artistic background, your manual placements often look stiff and unnatural, leading to frustration and the temptation to abandon the project entirely.

- Set up a basic editor extension window in Unity or Unreal.
- Implement a script to read a folder of 3D prefabs/meshes.
- Create a basic raycast system to detect floor surfaces in a scene.
- Develop a simple random-scatter algorithm within a defined bounding box.
- Add basic collision detection to prevent scattered assets from overlapping.
- Implement a 'surface alignment' feature so objects sit flush on uneven terrain.
- Create a tagging system to group assets (e.g., 'office_clutter', 'forest_plants').
- Build a 'paint brush' UI tool to let users click and drag to spawn tagged assets.
- Design a demo scene to test and showcase the tool's capabilities.
- Record a 60-second demonstration video for marketing and documentation.

自己反論 — 最も重要な信頼のシグナル
- 1The generated environments might still look too artificial, requiring so much manual cleanup that the tool fails to save time.
- 2Indie developers are notoriously budget-conscious and may prefer to grind through manual placement rather than spend money.
- 3Major engine updates could break the plugin's core functionality, requiring constant, exhausting maintenance.
