Welcome to the future! Itoo must be changing strategies Right Now

wow very useful and powerful, and good replacement for the forest pack pro....good move Corona Render Team 😉👏👏👏

guys, the "chaos scatter surface color" map, the usage i totally got it wrong. It seeems it is meant to take the color from the "distribute-0n" object and give that color (and some variation) to the scattered objects color slot.. and yes it has it s uses and great addition but i was expecting something different.

so it seems i will have to keep converting each material's diffuse map to "corona multimap" and add "hue gamma saturation variation" manually instead of adding it globally, i thought this was it.

Maybe you can introduce a new material type (not a map but a material) that just lets you add variations without visiting each materials diffuse slot.

A worthy competition to Forest Pack! I'm interested to see how this compares to it. Does anyone know if it renders faster or if time to first pixel is faster with Chaos Scatter?

[_asimpleman]

Very cool feature. Can I use this feature to scatter lights or is it limited to only trees and similar objects?

[brickarch]

really helpful but i have a problem. i scattered grass to a contour surface but alot of it is scattered few feet above the plane, also the scale of grass is increased several times. would u please tell me how to fix it ?

[majklnajt]

Can it be scattered over object and using different object IDs? Or do you need to split the original mesh into different parts?

[olafkramer]

Is it possible to paint scattered objects on a surface in Chaos Scatter?

[davidzero]

sorry, renderout different machine the tree in different position, if restart the machine render continute the position is wrong, which option can fix it?

[massivechafe]

Only one feature is missing - custom user-managed libraries to save/browse load assets and scatter presets

[mohamedzgueb]

is it me or the scatter doesnt work with spline exclude when its on 1D-on spline mode ?

[tahershowkal]

Great tool !!!
What is the object that you scattered on the rug ?

[fernandorobertodossantos]

the menu of chaos scatter is not showing here, does anyone know how to fix it?

[LIQUor]

It's all well and good, but please, add border restriction to the scatter as quickly as you can. That's one of the biggest things that forces me to use Forest pack instead of Chaos scatter

[oissac]

I can not activate in "geometry" the "chaos". That is, I can not activate the scatter.
Can someone help me?

[ArchiDrawED]

i have been having problems when using chaos scatter on displacment maps, they dont quite work properly, when increasing the value of the displacement map, the scattered objects dont follow the correct value added, in forest pack they can control it hopefully we also get that in the next update

[dominykaszakrys]

ForestPack: "Finally, a worthy opponent !"

[vladimircerovic]

Excellent! May we know which tree and grass models you used?

[yhbbandara]

is there any way to use chaos scatter for corona 7

[CrazyJampBoy]

In IToo Mulriscatter has "border behavior". Does CSc have something like that?
