Leafmould covers the ground of your forest scenes with real forest floor in one click: fallen leaves with scanned shapes and photo textures, conifer needles, twigs and branches, cones, acorns and other nuts, bark chips, moss, fallen and rotting logs, tree stumps and woodland mushrooms. Pick one of 48 designs, from a golden beech wood in October to a frosty pine forest in winter, and change anything: every slider rebuilds the litter live in a fraction of a second.

Scatter it on a generated patch of forest soil, or on any mesh you already have: a terrain, a path, a rock or a garden bed. Paint where the litter lies with Blender's weight brush, and it thins out under the logs, gathers in drifts against the wood and fades at the edges, the way a real forest floor does.

Seasons change everything at once: fresh green leaves in spring, the reds and golds of peak autumn, dry brown leaves in late autumn and dark flattened leaves under hoar frost in winter, with wetness and frost on every leaf, log and stone. Logs follow the five classes of decay, from fresh bark to a mossy ridge of crumbled wood.

Every season
One forest floor through spring, summer, autumn and a frosty winter: leaf colors, wetness and frost change together.

48 forest floors
Beech woods, pine forests, mushroom season, fallen giants, mossy stumps and leaf piles. Pick one and change anything.

Paint where it lies
Brush a path through the leaves with Paint Density: the litter clears where you paint and stays everywhere else.

From a light scatter to deep drifts
Density and Clumping rebuild the floor live in a fraction of a second, from a few leaves to piled-up drifts.
