Skitter – Insect Swarm Generator for Blender
Does it work in EEVEE?
Yes, in both Cycles and EEVEE.
How many bugs can I use?
The bugs are GPU instances, so thousands are fine. Above 2000 bugs the viewport shows a share of them by default, and renders always show all. Detail levels and off-camera culling keep big crowds light.
Can I get real mesh objects for my own scene or for export?
Yes. Convert to Mesh bakes the swarm at the current frame into plain mesh objects with their own materials, and Extract Single Bug creates one standing bug at the 3D cursor.
Do I see the legs walk in the viewport?
Yes, in Material Preview or Rendered view, where the legs step in time with the bugs' speed. In Solid view the legs stay in the rest pose.
Can I click on any object?
Yes. Click any mesh object, such as a floor, a wall, furniture or a whole room, and the bugs walk over it, up walls and across edges. The surface is read at the moment of release; use Re-bake Walk after you change it.
Which Blender versions are supported?
Blender 4.2 and newer. It is tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.
