Scatter is a simple plugin that does exactly what it’s designed for, it scatters selected objected randomly based on a defined pattern distribution. 

We have also added in 3D painting and erase tools to get in on adding focused detail and refining. 

Why would I want to use Scatter and not an alternative tool or plugin? 
\- For a start, we’ve made it free to use and it’s automatically installed with the SiNi installer. 
\- Many SiNi users also use Forest Pack and Corona’s scatter, as well as Scatter in their professional work. Find a workflow that works for you. 
\- Over time Scatter will continue to tie to other SiNi plugins, incorporating a two-way open workflow.
