Title: Shapemap doesn't do anything when used as densitymap in cScatter
Post by: JCdeBlok on 2016-04-20, 14:19:46

Title says it all.  I was trying to use a spline to drive a shape map to drive cScatter placement density, works fine with checker and bitmpas etc but shape map has no effect.  This would be great to have working since it would allow for some nice interactive control of it all.

This is a bug in Max, not C4d :)

Ouch, my mistake. I do not know what shape map is, so i thought it must be some C4D feature :]

found the likely problem, shape map has default mono output as alpha, not as rgb intensity - the scatter maps are evaluated as mono - so just flip that switch and it starts working
