Overview

Stable Dropper is a Blender addon that allows you to quickly and reliably drop objects inside a 3D volume (typically a cube) with randomized placement, physics simulation, and zero overlaps. It’s ideal for filling containers, creating piles, or setting up randomized object layouts for games, animations, or visualizations.

Installation

1. Download the .zip file after purchase.

2. Open Blender and go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.

3. Click Install, then select the downloaded .zip file.

4. Enable the addon by checking Stable Dropper in the list.

5. The addon will appear in the 3D Viewport Sidebar under the Dropper tab.

How to Use

1. Create a Drop Area:

   • Click "Create Drop Area Cube" to generate a cube-shaped volume where objects will drop.

   • Or, use your own cube mesh and assign it as the Drop Area in the panel.

2. Set Source Object:

   • Choose any object you want to duplicate and drop.

3. Adjust Settings:

   • Count: Number of objects to drop.

   • Random Seed: Controls random placement. Change for different results.

   • Random Rotation: Enable or disable 360° random rotation on all axes.

4. Optional: Add a Container:

   • Enable Use Container Object and assign any mesh object to act as a passive collider (e.g., a box, bin, or bucket).

5. Generate Drops:

   • Click “Generate Drops” to randomly place and prepare objects with rigid body physics, avoiding collisions.

6. Play Simulation:

   • Click "Play Physics Simulation" to simulate the drop from the starting frame using Blender's rigid body world.

Key Features

• Smart, non-overlapping object placement
