Scatter tool with collision detection

By orionburcham · 2008-09-14

Description

Does anyone know of a maxscript that will scatter multiple objects across a target object, while using collision detection to keep the instances from intersecting? I'm hoping to use a script like this to randomly place rocks on a terrain, and I can't get away with some of them ending up inside each other.

Thanks-

crowd tool working great for scattering objects... no any other tool required... thanks for brilliant idea!

Try to use the crowd tool in 3ds Max. Far from perfect, but will do what you want.
