Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions of if there is anything you'd like me to cover in this series in the comments below! :)

@AndyRedwood 6 місяців тому

Yup, more of this please - GS is one of those core add-ons I'd like to learn more about.

@bigdaddyproduction7266 5 місяців тому

@Krizanathan 2 місяці тому

Thank you for making this tutorial, super helpful!

I've had this add-on for several months and have slowly been figuring it out. I wish this video had been available when I first started! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with its more advanced features, especially the biomes.

@TheCGEssentials 6 місяців тому

Biomes, in my opinion, are the very best feature in this tool. Plus the fact that you can download biomes from other content creators? Awesome

@vrharh 6 місяців тому

Biomes were the main thing that attracted me to get this add-on. I imagined that they would make it easy to populate the scene with natural elements and that I would be able to set up scenes for my projects more quickly and easily with their help. However, things aren't quite that simple. When I use biomes, my scene mostly becomes sluggish and considerably slower. Even after subsequent adjustments, like camera culling, etc., it's still very slow to navigate through the scene. Keep in mind that I mainly model medium-sized houses and residential buildings, and I don't have huge scenes with vast surfaces. My computer is decent, with an RTX 3060, Ryzen 5 5600x, and 64GB of RAM, nothing fancy but a well-balanced machine in my humble opinion. Other tools work fine. Manual scattering is something I use the most to add details to the scene. However, for grass, plants, and other elements that cover a large area, I have a better experience with Gscatter, so I combine these two add-ons. Maybe I didn't fully grasp how biomes work. My conclusion is that Geoscatter is a good tool but too expensive compared to other add-ons available on the market.

With the scale applied to both emitter and scatter object, and the origin moved down how you did it, it is still putting them half way through the emitter. Is there an apply to origins or something I didn't see?

@antoineoscar 7 днів тому

How can we avoid overlapps without compromising the distance between objects?

@NN-wc7dl 6 місяців тому

I have it and it's a very good scatter addon. Happy me!

@TheCGEssentials 6 місяців тому

It definitely is that :)

@jkartz92 3 місяці тому

how do we apply the particle system to the mesh after scattering

@NeiyahVR 6 місяців тому

I got this few days ago and I've been trying things, I usually run into optimisation issues tho. Looking forward for Viewport/Render optimisation tricks

@TheCGEssentials 6 місяців тому

Yeah those are important with this one - we'll get to that :)
