Multiple Maya Scatter nodes

[stezza]

Simple question is it usual procedure to use more than one scatter node per object?
The list gets so long and a real pain to edit the frequency number.

I have 6 plants with 10 variants each, so best to use 6 or 3 scatter nodes.?

Cheers

The whole ui isn't ideal when dealing with multiple objects. I can't remember but I think the multiple scatters will not respect each other for collision if that matters so that would be a drawback in my opinion. I think when dealing with many items like that you should rule them by a script of some sort rather than by hand.
