Title: Pattern from the distribution tab
Post by: tatarka on 2025-02-19, 14:13:41

Why can't I use a pattern from the distribution tab in another place. I can't even manipulate it like a texture, invert, cc, etc. it's dumb

Calling a feature as dumb is not very helpful to anyone. If you have ideas how to improve it, go to Corona ideas portal and submit new feature request: https://chaoscorona.ideas.aha.io/ideas?project=SCATTER

The textures themselves are located here:

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\ChaosScatter3dsMaxXXXX\DistributionMapPatterns

You can probably modify some and copy them there (haven't tested it yet).

If I remember correctly, the patterns in ForesPack are small too. Perhaps there is a technical reason for that.
