This page provides information on the Bounding Box Scattering options in Chaos Scatter in Maya.



Bounding Box Scattering Parameters


The options in this rollout are active when the scattering mode is set to 3D - In bounding box.

Count – Defines an exact number of instances to scatter - either overall, or per a volume in the case of scattering defined by density (Per Cube). The number is always limited by the Instance Count Limit option.

Per Cube – When enabled, the number of instances to scatter is defined by density (Count per cube having the given edge length). The number of instances is always limited by the Instance Count Limit.

Cube Size – Specifies the edge length of the cube defining a volume for computing scattering density (Count, Per Cube). The length is measured in world units.





Examples: Count and Per Cubе


In this example Count various values are compared to when Count is used in a cubic volume (Per Cube).

01_Scatter_BBoxScattering_InstancesCount_40

Count = 40

04_Scatter_BBoxScattering_InstancesCount_5000

Count = 5000

01_Scatter_BBoxScattering_InstancesCount_1000_PCV_125

Count = 1000; Per Cube = 125

02_Scatter_BBoxScattering_InstancesCount_1000_PCV_250

Count = 1000; Per Cubе = 250
