Pose Set Spawner

Overview

The Pose Set Spawner node offers spawning at input poses.

Detailed Explanation

In comparison to other spawners, this very simple spawner only expects a set of poses. These poses can be generated and modified using other pose nodes and thus offer a lot of flexibility. Similar to other spawners we can customize the range in which the spawner will operate.

Use Cases

Spawning away from roads and on top of the terrain

A common set-up for the Pose Set Spawner is to spawn prefabs that are not on the road and use the height from the heightmap. To ensure a minimum distance to the road we use the Road Network Mask and a Distance Transform node in combination with the Remove By Map node and feed it into the Pose Set Spawner. To make sure that the spawned objects are always on top of the terrain, we can use the Set Heights By Map node to push them up depending on the heightmap.
