The latest version of MultiScatter includes several MultiPainter bug fixes.
MultiPainter can arrange objects on the surface using a virtual paintbrush.
This does not create additional geometries which therefore simplifies the process of working with large arrays of objects.
- Placement can be done both on one and multiple surfaces at the same time. Multiple objects of different types can be scattered simultaneously.
- MultiPainter includes most current types of randomizations available for MultiScatter objects.
- Once created MultiPainter objects can be modified in several ways, including changing their location, scale, rotation, as well as creating copies.
- Animated objects are also supported. In addition it is possible to convert MultiScatter objects into MultiPainter with few restrictions.
- MultiPainter objects are fully compatible with V-Ray and Mental Ray.
Main differences of MultiScatter in comparison to VRayScatter
MultiScatter includes all VRayScatter features such as:
- Regular and random scattering of objects over any surface or along a spline.
- Unique control system for regular scattering with UVW coordinates.
- Full control including randomization of all transformations and scattering by masks or values.
- Control of scattering area by splines and full control of transformations of objects along the border.
- Collision control inside the single MultiScatter object or between multiple.
- Scattering control relative to the camera.
- Animation of parameters as well as scattering of animated objects.
- Special textures for randomization and control of object color and creation of complex masks.
- MultiScatter integrates these and many other features, and was created from scratch, allowing us to bring working with arrays to a new level.
The following additional features were added:
- Support for Mental Ray (including MProxy).
- Any geometry can be used for scattering (e.g VRayScatter can only use VrayProxy).
- Unlimited number of different objects within one MultiScatter.
- Probability texture allows clustering distribution of objects, controlling size of a cluster and density of its borders.
- Multi-core processing support at all stages of workflow including viewport render.
- Any object from the current scene can be chosen for scattering.
- Materials, properties, transformations and animations remain interactively linked between objects within MultiScatter and all related objects within the scene.
- Help Pictures will help new users to navigate through the interface; this can be switched on/off.
- Revolutionized Viewport mode Points allows viewing of the objects’ geometry regardless of complexity and the quantity of objects in a scene.
- Optionally MultiScatter can show wire color or diffused color of objects’ materials.
- Collisions inside a MultiScatter can be seen in a viewport.
- A MultiScatter object can be converted into single geometry as well as copied across instances. This allows using MultiScatter as a modeling tool and other rendering engines can be used other than V-Ray and Mental Ray.
- MultiScatter utility allows the control of huge numbers of MultiScatter objects.
- MultiPainter object. This tool gives full control for object placement with a brush.
- And many other new features.
