Volume Scatter

Short Description

A tool for scattering objects within a mesh volume.

Description

The Volume Scatter tool scatters objects inside a specified volume mesh, allowing for intricate and diverse distribution of objects. It provides various properties to customize the density, randomness, scaling, and rotation of the scattered objects.

Properties

Base Properties

• Meshes: Meshes to use as a volume.

• Scatter: Objects to scatter inside the volume meshes/curves.

• Density: Density of your scatter. The higher the value, the more scattered meshes you'll have.

• Randomness: Randomness of the scatter. The higher the value, the more random the scatter will be.

• Randomness Multiplier: Multiplier for the randomness of the scatter. The higher the value, the more random the scatter will be.

• Min Scale: Minimum scale of your scattered meshes.

• Max Scale: Maximum scale of your scattered meshes.

• Seed: Randomizes the result of the scatter.

Rotation Properties

• Override Rotation: If set to True, the rotation will be overridden by the values below.

• X Override: Overrides the rotation along the X axis.

• Y Override: Overrides the rotation along the Y axis.

• Z Override: Overrides the rotation along the Z axis.

• Random Spin: This ensures that all instances have a random angle/spin to them, which ensures great rotation variation.

• Uniform Angle: Adjust the angle/spin of your instances. By default, they all have a random spin.

• X Jitter: Randomizes the rotation along the X axis.

• Y Jitter: Randomizes the rotation along the Y axis.

• Z Jitter: Randomizes the rotation along the Z axis.

Proximity Mask

• Objects: You can pass meshes, curves and even instancers to use them as masks.

• Distance: Distance of the objects' proximity mask.

• Sampling: A higher value results in more precise proximity masking, but at a heavier cost (especially if your proximity objects are scatter instances).
