I've actually done experiments with that but I had a lot of problems with accuracy... whatever I tried, really small objects like stones kept to fall through the terrain sometimes, and that was really really problematic. So unless I figure out a way to fix that, I can't add that in...

Phantom Scatter 1.9 c is now available!
Visit the website here:
http://scatter.phantomtechnology.nl/
» Fixed problem where the UI didn't update correctly when renaming a scatter object.
» Fixed problem in PER-TRI scatter where enabling PLACE ON HEAD caused problems with the orientation.
» Implemented a visible loading screen, showing the software is busy loading, instead of being hidden and then popping up.
» Added function COPY TO CLIPBOARD under IMPORT / EXPORT. This feature can automatically put XML data on your clipboard when you export *.CSV data. This will allow you to simply press CTRL+V inside Octane Render standalone and it will automatically create the Scatter nodes for you. It will even create Geometry group nodes automatically to pair together nodes that are variants of the same scatter object -- super convenient! And ofcourse it will create the names for your automatically so you can tell which is which by simply looking at a scatter node's name.

I think I'll make some new scatter tools in Phantom Scatter... right now modeling proper windows is way too much of a burden. So I'm considering to make some special PER TRI-esque tools that allow you to stretch profiles along certain triangle markers or something. I'll let you guys know more about the concept when I get more into it.

Hi, I'm running the trial, and the software crashes when I set the mode Image-based Scatter. Every time.
Is there a way to reset the settings/preferences?
