### Overview


Our mission was to create a tool where artists could simply paint 3D geometry and proxies in a scene, similar to using 2D painting software. It needed to be lightweight on the graphics card and allow for export back into edit mesh and proxy formats, if necessary.&#x20;

Unlike scattering tools, Disperse is designed for painting in 3D detail over small areas. You manually paint in objects where you need them using single-selected objects, multi-selected, or all of them.&#x20;

If you make a mistake use the eraser to remove geometry or replace it with another object.&#x20;

We have also added the ability to replace objects in Disperse with scene objects.&#x20;
