I might be wrong, but i think it's the same guy (Karba?), who did create vraypattern and Fstorm/geopattern.
Indeed, it's the same guy. He developed it when he was working at icube but it's not the owner of the software.
I'm a bit disappointed by some people's reaction... This is extremely useful! If that can be done with Cscatter then show us an exemple, i'd be curious to see that! Pls recreate that curtain with Cscatter and show us the result.
No matter if you are close or far from the object, it will always look better than an opacity mapped texture and it's cheaper in term of calculation. Look at the curtain, simple material, no memory cost, anisotropy resolve by itself etc etc... I was a user of Vraypattern and I would kill to get that feature in corona! Basically it replace displacement for patterns and it's way cheaper, can be viewed from both sides, no need to mess with geometry shifting etc...
