Scatter Plugin NOT-Released (RETRACTED)

More work required ... more testing required. Sorry.

ggaliens,
Thanks for releasing this as a standalone plugin. Just tested on Wings 1.5.pre1.74.g2aee version. Windows XP 32bit.

Create Grid or Sphere > Create second sphere > Scale down to smaller size > RMB > Lots More > Move Scatter bodies. Follow prompts.... I get the following information in the console...

I see that Scale Random and Move Nudge Random are bundled with Scatter. These two are working.

I see that Edge-Face Collisions is also bundled with it. Not sure what it does but it is not working. Here is error info from the console window...

I see that Experimental Instancing Steps is also bundled with it. Not sure what it is supposed to do. It adds an XYZ modifier to the selected object...

Thanks,

Well ... now you know why I was in no hurry. I think it might only work with 64bit windows snapshot.

I retracted that release. I found a bug you had not reported.
So there were a handful of issues with that release.
