Scatter surface randomly. To repeat surface in fixed pattern use Repeat node.

Properties

Surfaces
Array	Choose surface array processing method: - Spread Output: Create multiple surfaces for each surface separately. - Index: Mix all input surfaces using spawn index as array index. - Random: Mix all input surfaces with random array index. - Data: Using third value (if exists) to determine array index. - Texture: Use external surface to select array index.
Animated	With surface array connected, increase array index per frame.
Animated End	Select what to do when index outside array range.
Scatter > Source
Source	Scatter area type.
Extra Value	In point array source, apply the third and later values in each data point (if exist) to the given properties.
Distribution	Scatter distribution.
Amount
Amount	Scatter amount.
Distance	In poisson distribution, set minimum distance between each copies.
Attempt	In map distribution, set sampling attempt before gives up.
Path
Path	Scatter along path.
Rotate Along Path	Make the copy rotate along path normal.
Path Range	Range of the path to follow.
Path Shift	Shift position along path.
Scatter Distance	Set random shift distance away from the path.
Position
Random Position	Randomly move surface from it's original place.
Shift Position	Move surface with fixed amount increase per copy.
Shift Radial	Move surface based on its rotation.
Exact	Round drawing position to integer.
Rotation
Rotation	Base angle.
Point At Center	Rotate each copy to face the spawn center.
Random Angle	Rotate surface randomly.
Scale
Scale	Base scale.
Offset Scale	Scale surface randomly in both axis independenly.
Scale Random	Scale surface randomly in both axis uniformly.
Uniform Scaling	Force the final scaling to have the same value in X and Y axis.
Color
Random Blend	Apply random color blending per copy.
Alpha	Apply random opacity per copy.
Multiply Alpha	Multiply opacity to RGB channel before drawing.
Sample Color
Sample Surface	Blend surface based on color sampled from additional surface.
Sample Wiggle	Randomly modify sample point.
Rendering
Blend Mode	Drawing blend mode.
Sort Y	Sort drawing order by it's Y position to create top-down depth effect.
Tile	Draw overflow surface to the other side of the surface to create tiling effect.

Commit History

1.21.7.105	Fix point selection always always multi-select.
1.21.5.002	Fix alpha not apply when using sampler surface.
1.21.5	Fix sampler position using incorrect position.
1.21.4.002	Tiling option now separate X and Y axis.
1.21.2.003	Fix amount input disappear when setting source to map while setting distribution to poisson. Add "Stop" option for ended animation.
1.21.1.0	Fix value map doesn't work. Add tiling option for all scatter source type.
1.21.0.2.007	Add offset transformation properties.
