Is it possible to make a scatter object editable, like a cloner ?

If i would allow this that propably slow as cloner. What's your purpose for that?

At present, so I can make a position pass ( camera mode ) in C4D Physical render. Need to make C4D read the scattered objects and thought that they would need to be editable.
Assuming that Octane only exports Position Pass in World Space ? This is so I can get a good Depth Pass as in Chad Ashley's tutorial here.

So you should not use scatter for your purpose. It's not a supported thing. As i said its power is highly depended to their current workflow.

Thanks for the input.
Thought this was the case. Hard going back to cloner when scatter is so awesome

Am I right in the fact that Position Pass only does World Space ?

Cheers.

Yes i suppose so, world space. Otherwise would not be usable. Where/how will you use position pass?

For clean Depth Pass with no AA problems, as in the video link I posted.

I couldn't watched due works. But we have options for on/off antialiasing in info passes.

Cool. I didn't know this.

Cheers.
