So I'm frustrated with a work project and was diverting attention by making a stupid pun render. Yes, I am trying to make a Corona Virus. Unfortunately I can't seem to rotate the cloned object on the surface of the sphere. No matter what I plug into Scatter >> Distribution >> Rotate it only spins the bottle and won't let me actually rotate the orientation of the model base. I've also tried rotating the model itself before and after I plug into scatter but that did not work either. Any advice appreciated! :D

Hi,
please check the position and orientation of the Pivot of the object, not the object itself, or parent it with a Null object to help with orientation.
