Hello, i would like to ask about Cluster painting in Vray for SketchUp. I want to use this option to add some areas with oter type of plants to my render. But when i create are with painting, it has no affect. I am adding screen on my work to see the problem. When i add guest to the layer, draw are with painting there are two scenarios. One. Guest are distributed over whole are not only the painted are. Two. Guest dont appear at all . Sorry to ask like this but i didnt find any tutorial or solution. Thank you for any advige how to use Cluster painting. Michal ---

Hello @Michal_Belovsky , Welcome to Chaos Forum! Please check this short [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=begrqJ_2-t8) and the Scatter Cluster Painting [Workflow](https://documentation.chaos.com/space/VSKETCHUP/109792340/Surface+Scattering+Rollout#Workflow) section in the documentation. It has a step by step description on how to set up properly Cluster Painting. Let me know if this helps and if you have any further questions! Kind regards, Iva
