How can I model Large Groups? E.G. Coffee Beans

Technical Support Modeling

So I am working on a coffee shop scene and I am wanting to model coffee beans and fill the hoppers with the modeled beans. I have one bean modeled and was wondering if there is a way to have blender render a large group of beans that I could put into the hopper instead of having to place each one by hand. Is there a way to do it maybe using particles?

Any advice on this would help. Looking forward to any feedback, thanks :slight_smile:

Took a quick look at that thread and mostly understand what it was talking about. Don’t have time to test it out at the moment but I wanted to say Thanks! I didn’t see that or think of searching for a similar issue. Anyways Thanks!
