Hi piotr_lotaa, Chaos Scatter does not have options to choose the instancing mode - it always behaves as in multi-instance mode (which is best for memory use/speed). If you refer to the "Display Mode" (in "Viewport Display"), there the best option is "None", but you won't have any viewport preview of the instances. The "Wire box" option should be fast and efficient enough for several thousand instances.

If you refer to the instancing modes in Cloner objects, you should check this post, where I describe the best option for memory and speed.

Hi. Thank You very much for ansewer.

Sorry than my question is not so clear. Is only about chaos scatter & nothing about "Display Mode" & not about cloner (mograph).

I have noticed that Chaos Scatter does not have options to choose the instancing mode; but i suppose i can nest under it (as child object): source goemetry, instance objects, render instance or even asset capsule (as in youtube tutorial example) ? Or i have missed something ?

What is the best workflow ? or it doesnt matter for memory use/speed ect ?
