MassFx has recorded over 300 sales and 13 ratings on superhive, and it leans on Blender's native rigid body system to place assets rather than positioning them by hand.
MassFx- Dynamic Physics Painter is a Blender add-on built to populate scenes quickly and in a natural way. It uses Blender's rigid body system to drop or paint assets onto any surface: you assign objects to a collection, then click, drag and release to watch them pile up. A particle-based brush handles the painting side, and both particle and physics settings stay within reach in the panel.
The interface is a simplified, user-friendly panel aimed at both beginner and professional Blender users. Recent updates added a Collection Manager, moved brush height control to Shift plus mouse scroll, and stored a custom brush rather than starting from the active object. The add-on also adds a passive rigid body automatically when one isn't detected, and recent fixes addressed a raycast error and errors when applying empty objects.
Version 3.1 lists compatibility with Blender 2.79 through 2.92 and is released under the GPL license. A demo video is available, and the add-on has recorded over 300 sales with 13 ratings. Proxy generation and a cursor widget are noted as upcoming features.
Massfx- Dynamic Physics Painter is best for blender artists populating scenes with clustered assets for work such as game cinematics and commercials.
Massfx- Dynamic Physics Painter is completely free to download and use.
MassFx- Dynamic Physics Painter lists compatibility with Blender 2.79, 2.8, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9, 2.91 and 2.92. If you run one of these versions, the add-on's drop and paint tools and its particle-based brush should be available to you. Anyone on a newer Blender release should check the developer's page before trying it, since these are the versions named for this add-on and later builds are not among those listed.
MassFx runs on fairly modest hardware. The minimum specification is a 32-bit dual core 2GHz CPU with SSE2 support, 2 GB of RAM, a 24-bit 1280×768 display, a mouse or trackpad, and an OpenGL-compatible graphics card with 256 MB of RAM. For smoother work the recommended setup is a 64-bit quad core CPU, 8 GB of RAM, a Full HD 24-bit display, a three button mouse, and an OpenGL-compatible graphics card with 1 GB of RAM.
MassFx places assets by dropping or painting them onto surfaces through Blender's rigid body system. You assign objects to a collection, then click, drag and release to generate clusters that pile up on any surface. A particle-based brush handles the painting, and the add-on automatically adds a passive rigid body if one isn't detected. Both particle and physics settings are available in the panel, and brush height is controlled with Shift plus mouse scroll.
MassFx- Dynamic Physics Painter is listed as free in this catalog, but licensing terms can shift over time. For current pricing and availability, check AlbertoFX's page on superhive before you download it. For reference, the add-on has recorded more than 300 sales and holds 13 ratings from users, and it is distributed under the GPL license, which governs how you may use and share it.
