While my Forest Pack is down, I thought I would try Chaos Scatter - no go! Why does everything have to be so complicated?
I rebuilt my OS, and V-Ray wasn’t my default. However, I can’t find a way to place plants one at a time. I have missed three deadlines this year because of iToo Software license restrictions, so I need an alternative.
I see that Scatter doesn’t respect Object IDs and Multimatte?
Chaos Scatter does respect Object ID and Multimatte, maybe youre not assigning the Ids correctly, have you tried using the other mask options?
I mean Material ID, Cryptomatte, WireColor, Render ID? I personally prefer Crypto, just avoid repeated objects and materials names.

I assign an ID to my grass, and when I look in the VFB’s multimatte, it shows as black. I’ll try again later.
In order to use Multimatte you need to include/exclude from multimatte render element not from ID, to use material Id you need to assign id from material, same for object id into object properties, there are scripts that does this, if you dont want to assign them you can use WireColor or RenderID, for me its better to use cryptomatte, it assign ids automatically and the mask its better
