@matej : I have experimented a lot recently, and your instances/scatter patch is really a great improvement ! I am currently making an intensive use of it : City props, cars, and even cars wheels using the same placement node. Thanks again !

Below, a first real situation test. The background is just a random temporary photo for testing purpose only.

Later, the whole set will be 3D. I will use a lot the scatter node for instanced details on architecture (windows, columns, pilasters on balconies).

Great script!

thanks for the your work!

Is it possible to influence the PS density and the PS grass object length with weight paint map?!
Or is there another way to do that?

With weight paint method one can create realistic grass field...

all the best,

Yes, you can use weight paint to influence the grass particles. I have used it to great effect.

Great, thanks..

Than i'll give it another try!

all the best,

Guys, need your help. I had made something wrong, but don't understand what exactly. Size and placement of particles in Blender and in Octane do not match. Matrices have been exported with a scale 4, but, as you can see, I use velocuty normal 1 and don't use any random parametrs.

Sorry for my English.

@Saramary, the Rotation panel (checkbox) in Blender must be enabled. So when you tweak your PS, first enable that. See the first page for guidelines what you can & cant do

(in the case that its still not working, then post the .blend)

Still doesn't work.

@Saramary, I looked at your scene but cant find what is wrong. It may be something with the exporter, not your settings (I did most of my testing on hair PS, not emitters).

I would need to do a more thorough analysis of the exporting process in case of emitters. But I cant promise when, because I have other stuff going on right now. I'll contact you as soon as I make any progress.

Thank you.
What version of exporter are you using (I am still working in 1.17)?

I'm still using 1.17 too. The version of the exporter is not important in this case. (when I said "exporter", I meant the instances exporter script, sorry )
