3D Asset Placer for scattering of meshes and scenes

[meister56]

GODOT currently lacks a way of placing many objects at once, and a proper paint/brush like placer could benefit large open scenes in need of many objects (forests for example) im currently writing a plugin that does this, but of course having it natively in engine would benefit the creation of large open worlds immensely... this could promote a surge of bigger, more open games to be made in the engine.

I haven't saved them since it's not happened to be necessary for any of my projects, but I'm pretty sure I've seen quite a few plugins/addons that do this come across my GitHub feed. That being said, it seems like a common-enough tool to want that it'd make sense to incorporate it into the main editor, so that people don't have to find and download a plugin.

sadly, most of them are from older versions and generally problematic, those who are not just end up being really basic for a plugin, im hoping that if one is natively added, yes surely it will be basic or fairly generic but at least its built in and stability can be expected

Thanks for the proposal! Consolidating in #5352.

Hey thanks a lot! But I meant something that works for both meshes and scenes...

There is #5553 for 2D, not sure if we need a specific one for 3D as I expect the UI to be very similar.

A PR was opened for 2D recently:
