Parameters

• Scene parameters
  • Output scene path String
    Sets the item name and possibly its containing groups. Learn more in the Path expressions and filtering section.
• Random number generator seed Integer
  Random seed value used in the pseudo-random distribution of elements from the input collection.
• Scattered assets parameters
  • Assets Scene
    Scene containing elements which should be used as a collection to pick from for generating instances. All elements directly under the root of the scene are included in this collection.
  • Sequencing Integer
    Controls the order in which elements from the input scene should be picked when generating instances.
  • Custom first element Boolean
    Controls whether the first element in the instances generation sequence should be the first element of the input scene, or one set by the user.
    Note: this parameter is only visible when Custom sequence is selected for the Sequencing parameter.
  • First element index Integer
    Sets the index of the element in the input scene which should be the starting point of the custom sequence.
    Note: this parameter is only visible when Custom sequence is selected for the Sequencing parameter and the Custom first element parameter is set to True.
  • Sequence Integer
    Sets the sequence of elements to be used when generating instances, written as a index values separated by a space – e.g. 1 3 5 4 2.
    Note: Index values loop around if they are higher or lower than valid indexes for the input scene collection – e.g. for indexes 1 2 3 4, 5 will correspond to 1 as in 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 (5) - 2 (6).
    Note 2: this parameter is only visible when Custom sequence is selected for the Sequencing parameter
  • Custom last element Boolean
    Controls whether the last element in the instances generation sequence should be the last element of the input scene, or one set by the user.
    Note: this parameter is only visible when Custom sequence is selected for the Sequencing parameter.
  • Last element index Integer
    Sets the index of the element in the input scene which should be the ending point of the custom sequence.
    Note: this parameter is only visible when Custom sequence is selected for the Sequencing parameter and the Custom last element parameter is set to True.
• Subdivision coarse mesh Scene
  The scene holding the SubD meshes along which surfaces the input items will be scattered and warped.
• Topology filter
  • Face filter String
    Applies the effect of the node exclusively to the specified selection sets (see below) embedded in the meshes from the Assets scene. To identify a selection set, input its name – or tag – in this field.
• Wrapping mode Integer (selects an Enum index)
  The method of scattering the input items on the faces of the SubD meshes:
  • Single: Places one item per face of the SubD meshes, and warps them so they follow the surface;
  • Row: Places one item per row of faces of the SubD meshes, and warps them so they follow the surface;
  • Rectangle: Places one per contiguous rectangular surface of the SubD meshes, and warps them so they follow the surface;
  • NGon: Places one item per face of the SubD meshes, bot does not warp them.
• Orient with Axis Boolean
  Controls whether the item's orientation axis should be rearranged.
  Note: this parameter is only visible when the Wrapping mode parameter is set to single.
• Split quads Boolean
  Controls whether subdivided polygons (quads) should be taken into account for scattering items.
  Note: this parameter is only visible when the Wrapping mode parameter is set to single
• Separate colors Boolean
  Controls whether the rows or rectangles should be split where vertex colors differ.
  Note: this parameter is only visible when the Wrapping mode parameter is set to row or rectangle.
• Rotation Integer
  Lets you rotate the items on their local Y-axis on 90 degrees increments
  Note: this parameter has no effect the Wrapping mode parameter is set to NGon.
• Override height Boolean
  Controls the override of the height value of the input items.
• Height Float
  The width value which should override the input items' width.
• Height alignment Integer
  Select the placement of items relative to the surface: below, in the middle or on top.
• Surface offset Float
  Applied an offset to the item relative to the surface. This offset also applies to the warping effect.
• Deformation policy Integer (selects an Enum index)
  Controls whether the warping is applied non-uniformly (Deform) or uniformly (Transform) on the scene items.
• Main axis
  • Chose Axis Integer
    The reference local axis to be used as the local Y-axis when applying the rearrangement controlled by the Orient with Axis parameter.
