Simple Scattering

  • Selected assets can be now easily scattered on the active mesh. Please mind, that this is just a simple scattering option and for more extended scattering it is better to use other more advanced plugins. Yet Flow simple scattering provides bunch of options to distribute instances easily and with the possibility of being adjusted and randomized. May2024_SimpleScatter

Scattering on Curve

Asset Library

  • Replace Selected Instance (new feature) - When active object is an instance collection, you may replace this instance with the one currenly selected in the library. This operator will replace only the active object.
  • Replace Instances Group (new feature) - This operator works as the one above, but it will replace ALL instances of the same collection with the new object, so it may be useful e.g. when you want to replace the whole grass with another type.

Bugfixes & Other
