hey martin!
also love the script and will need to use it to duplicate my blindpeople in my upcoming bachelor :)
any chance you can update the script to clone a group?
thanks!

Cool.
I've been playing around with Unreal Ed. recently and think it would be neat to be able to paint mesh onto the surface of another object - trees onto ground for example. Having it driven by a grey scale/alpha map as they do there....
So i might look into trying to make something for max like this over the winter evenings.
Glad you like the tool and enjoy using it.

Looks like 1acc might have beaten me to it though.
His SuperPainter listed here sounds like it does something very similar. Have to check it out.

Great script Martin! Very handy! I plant to make a macro out of it and put it in a special honored spot in my modeling quads.
Thanks for the great tool!
