    Hi guys,

    I'm looking for a procedual spawning asset for open world design, for spawning details, trees, and other meshes based on height, angle, splat, texture, mask, etc. with lots of options to choose and modify. I have gaia which basicly should provide this, but the current version and it's algorithms are simply not up to the task sadly.

    Any recommendations?

    You could check out GeNa from the authors of Gaia, or, if you wouldn't mind a complete procedural solution including procedural terrain generation (you can still use a fixed heightmap tho), then I have to recommend MapMagic, which we are using and provides a lot of the features you mentioned and has some advanced algorithms for forrests generation etc.

    Our Group System in Landscape Builder might help with spawning prefab meshes etc (lots of options). Obviously LB can do full landscapes (topography, trees, detail, texturing etc too).
