SketchUp object scattering

[cotty]

A test with some trees from here... NICE FUNCTION!

nice test!

What I am working on now is allowing multiple 'prototype' objects that can be selected for a single scatter. The scattered object will be picked randomly from among the prototype objects. This will allow, for example, scattering of several different types of trees over a ground surface.

Render time cotty?

Added support (to Indigo) for selecting amongst multiple objects for the scatter:

Damn Ono, you're on fire!

Beware Ono, once you are done with SketchUp, the other 3D exporter users will have some love too ^^

How about the quite important feature: minimum distance
(gets modified by scale transformation). With this you can reduce overlapping objects a lot, and also have a good control about scattering.

Is there any user seed control?

My test, on my girlfriend laptop.

Awesome!

[Zom-B]

Sweet, but the trees shouldn't be align to normal direction... they look quite drunk

[Pibuz]

This was done BEFORE Ono added the option

Beautiful!

Render time cotty?

I wasn't there and stopped the rendering after 3 hours.

I'll try and add something like minimum distance.

You can seed the RNG seed, yes.
