In the world of computer-generated imagery (CGI), 3D modeling and rendering are essential tools for creating realistic and engaging visual effects. Among these tools, Scatter is a powerful plugin that has revolutionized the way artists work with objects in their scenes.
What is Scatter?
Scatter is a 3ds Max plugin designed to rearrange, randomize, and redistribute objects in your scene in a simple and intuitive way. Unlike other scattering plugins, Scatter does not scatter multiple clones of a source object; instead, it scatters the selected objects over the distribution surface or points you have defined.
Key Features
Scatter offers a range of features that make it an indispensable tool for artists:
- Switch Places: Quickly swap multiple objects around and try different layouts or combinations.
- 5 different methods to scatter your objects:
- Over the entire distribution surface
- By face orientation
- Auto-populate Furniture (exclusive smart algorithm)
- Use vertices / spline knots
- Place at object pivots
- Auto-Populate Furniture: Automatically scatter small elements like household and decorative objects, books, toys, etc., over your models of tables, desks, shelves, bookcases, and such.
- Full support for 3ds Max groups, both for distribution surfaces and elements to scatter.
- 3 pre-built options to use as pivot positions: pivot, center, or base.
- Built-in collision detection for all scattering methods. No overlapping objects.
- Randomize Transforms: Easily move, rotate, and scale your elements randomly.
- Export to edit mesh.

In addition to Scatter, there are other plugins available that offer similar functionality:
- NeatScatter: A non-overlapping scatter plugin for 3ds Max that allows you to instance objects in multiple generations.
- Free Scatter: A free trial version of the Scatter plugin that offers a range of features, including non-overlapping scattering and automatic furniture placement.
