Stable Dropper stands out in the Superhive library for pairing rigid body physics with seed-based randomness, so scatter arrangements stay repeatable across re-runs.
Stable Dropper is an easy-to-use Blender addon for randomly dropping objects inside a defined cube volume. It handles physics and collision avoidance while giving control over rotation and count, so objects settle without overlapping. Any cube can serve as the drop area, and an optional container object can catch the drops.
The addon sets up rigid body physics automatically and offers one-click simulation playback directly from the UI. Seed-based randomness makes results repeatable, letting you re-run the same arrangement. It suits creating realistic piles, stacks, or scattered objects across a scene.
Useful for prototyping game assets, setting up physics simulations, or building complex scenes, Stable Dropper aims to save time while producing precise, stable results. It works with Cycles, Eevee, and Freestyle, and is released under the GPL license.
Stable Dropper is best for blender artists prototyping game assets, setting up physics simulations, or building scenes with non-overlapping scattered objects, piles, or stacks.
Stable Dropper is completely free to download and use.
Stable Dropper supports Blender versions 4.0 through 4.5, so it runs on Blender 4.5 as well as earlier releases in that range. It is compatible with the Cycles, Eevee, and Freestyle render engines. If you use a Blender version outside 4.0 to 4.5, check the developer's page before downloading to confirm behaviour on your setup, since compatibility is stated only for that version range.
Stable Dropper drops objects randomly inside a defined cube volume and uses collision avoidance so they do not overlap. It sets up rigid body physics automatically and gives control over rotation and count, letting objects settle into stable positions. An optional container object can catch the drops, and you can trigger simulation playback with one click from the UI to see the objects come to rest.
Stable Dropper uses seed-based randomness, which produces repeatable results. By keeping the same seed, you can re-run the drop and get the same arrangement, which helps when prototyping game assets, setting up physics simulations, or building complex scenes where consistency matters. Changing the seed varies the placement, giving you controlled variation across the defined cube volume while retaining the collision avoidance and physics setup.
Stable Dropper is listed as free in this catalog. It is released under the GPL license, as stated by the developer. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the most current details on pricing and usage rights, check the developer's page directly before downloading. That page is also the best place to confirm any conditions attached to the GPL release and its documentation.
