One of the features present in Corona 8 and newer is the new Chaos Scatter. It lets you quickly and efficiently scatter a large number of objects over one or multiple surfaces, splines, or volumes. Chaos Scatter is like Corona Scatter on steroids, which it replaces completely. Its major new features include:
- A library of ready-to-use presets available in Chaos Cosmos
- Slope limiting for the scattered instances (no trees growing out of cliffs!)
- Edge trimming (removing any object parts that stick outside of the defined area)
- Including/excluding scattering areas using splines (closed or open)
- Surface color map (coloring scattered instances based on pattern textures on rugs, etc.)
- Limiting scattering only inside the camera field of view (camera clipping)
- Better viewport display
- and more...
