Scatter Vray Proxies?

[ShaunDon]

Hey all. I've made a vrayproxy of a little fern plant that I'd like to scatter over a surface, randomly adjusting rotation and scale for each instance. Normally I'd do this with either the RPC Spray script or the Scatter compound object, but neither of them seem to want to make use of the proxy object. Can anybody think of a work-around?

Thanks!

Maybe using "Replace" under the file menu. Scatter dummy objects, etc and just replace it with the vray proxy with the same name.

go to scriptspot and search for naturalpainter or advanced painter.

Both scripts are able to "piant" instances of multiple object to a surface.

i wrote a script which i add to the toolbar, which additonaly rotates selected objects around the z-axis and scale them randomly by 10% in size:

just drag the following text onto the toolbar:

for i in $ do
(
local sc = random 0.90 1.1
scale i [sc,sc,sc]
rotate i (angleaxis (random -180 180) [0,0,1])
)

That's EXACTLY what I needed! Thanks!
