The latest version of MultiScatter includes several improvements and bug fixes, as well as a new object type and method of scattering – MultiPainter.

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.

MultiScatter is a new product based on VRayScatter technology. It is designed
to work not only with V-Ray but with Mental Ray as well.
New in MultiScatter: multi-core processing support! It uses 4 CPU cores and runs
almost 4 times quicker than VRayScatter which can use only one CPU core. And
more!
Main differences of MultiScatter in comparison to VRayScatter
- MultiScatter works with both V-Ray and Mental Ray.
- MultiScatter utilises all CPU cores to generate objects.
-
It uses 4 CPU cores and runs almost 4 times quicker than VRayScatter
which can use only one CPU core. - MultiScatter can use several objects.
- Not only VrayProxy objects, but also ordinary mesh and mrProxy objects can be reproduced with MultiScatter.
- Improved interface with icons.
-
New "Points" preview is available in MultiScatter. It displays quickly
and presents detailed information about object’s position, geometry and
material. -
MultiScatter is able to convert MultiScatter objects into joint Mesh and
also into sets of instance object copies. This will allow applying renderers
different from V-Ray and Mental Ray. - MultiScatter provides collisions preview within one MultiScatter object.
-
MultiScatter contains utility which provides quick control under the
displaying of all MultiScatter objects at the scene. -
MultiScatter includes probability mask of object distribution, it lets
the creation of cluster arrangements. -
MultiScatter provides new mode of objects rotation – Z Recovery, it lets
imitate object rotation under the force of gravity.
In this case object’s matter will be inherited not from the MultiScatter,
but from the objects used with it.
If an object is used with several MultiScatter it will nevertheless be saved
in render memory as only one copy.
