Yes, basically select a group with a bunch of objects as child and click scatter so the group will be scattered as one object. Right now you would have to move everything in a collection which is also ok and works as you’ve described but i do not like collections and work with groups
Well blender group instancing only works with collection, so creating a collection is quite a requirement I’ll add an option in the “Creation-Options” tab so ti will create collections automatically
Ok. That sounds good, thanks. Looking forward to the new build!
Hi @BD3D
is it possible to install the biomes for this beta? I have tried to copy the folders from the scatter 4 in this folder: AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\data\scatter library_biomes_ , but is not working so far.
Cheers!

Nope, no biomes yet for the beta We are currently working on the fundamentals, adding core features before reworking the biomes
Hi, you said it was possible to vertex paint wind strength on our plant models? How do I do this?
Hi
Nope never said that
What I said is that it’s possible to paint wind strength on your emitter with a vertex-group mask, meaning that some area can have stronger wind than others.
Scatter do not interact with your instances geometry, this goes outside of a scattering plugin reach
Ahh I misunderstood.
Thought I would share a WIP of my project using scatter - this is all with the beta and I loooove the beta compared to 4.
okay beta 2.93 and beta scatter5,(no risk no fun)
unfortunately i can’t save the scattersetup anymore,
if i load a scene with scatter5setup i see the particle,
if i save this scene the particle/instances are no longer visible,
the just saved scene has now no particles anymore.
is there a way to activate this again?!
Hello
Weird, could you share a file?
did you open the saved file in an older blender version?
Scatter don’t delete any assets,
could you transfer me a file representative of your problem?
just for your information!
it was not due to the scatter-addon
the problem is caused by the grasswald-addon(at least the problem arises when it is installed)
will we get clean borders with scatter 5? like forest pack.
Such feature is already on my to-do list.
