Is it possible to use the foliage tool with paper 2D sprites?

Sad that no one’s answered this yet… :frowning:

What is even more sad is that the function of paper2d has not been developed for 2 years.

Hi! I’m trying to find out how to add 2D sprite foliage, did any of you manage to figure it out? (I’m completely stumped right now ahah)

Late to the conversation but I’ve figured out something that works!

1.) Create a Blueprint Actor with Your Sprite

  • Right-click in the Content Browser, choose Blueprint Class, and select Actor.
  • Import your Paper2D Sprite into this Blueprint Actor.
  • Name the Blueprint something like BP_Tree.

2.) Create a New Foliage Actor

  • Right-click in the Content Browser and select Foliage -> Actor Foliage.
  • Name this new foliage actor something like AF_Tree.

3.) Set the Actor Class in the Foliage Actor

  • Open your AF_Tree actor.
  • In the Details panel, find the Actor section.
  • Change the Actor Class to your previously created BP, BP_Tree.

4.) Add Your Foliage Actor to the Foliage Mode

  • Enter Foliage Mode.
  • Click the + Foliage button or drag to add your AF_Tree to the foliage types.

Hopefully this helps!
