Hi,  
Look at this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85QesG-WOIc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85QesG-WOIc)  
I am currently working on this project, I plan to complete somewhere in a month.

looks very interesting…  
I see it is connected to thea renderer, but i guess it might also work for octane?

I have not tested yet with Octane, but I think it will work, if only Octane supports blocks as a proxy.

There’s also RhinoGrow by Cam Newnham and the paint feature in Lands Design WIP by AsuniCAD which are recognised as octane instances

Just checked out the getskatter website. It’s really quite mature: similar to Phantom scatter but with tight integration into the host software. Good find! So much cool work being done in this space (by all) .

Looking forward to checking out the next one released!

After much testing this definition I decided to write a plugin for Rhino. The main reason was the poor display performance with large number of objects in Rhino and Grasshopper. Also, the project is still developing.

If you decide to sell it, I am your first customer. …
