| Usually scenes in 3ds max with a great amount of even identical objects take a lot of space on HDD, consumes a lot of time for loading, and it is very hard to work with. MultiScatter is created to solve these problems. The scene containing 500 000 identical objects created with 3ds max 2008 occupies 1400Mb of HDD space. Now, if it is created with MultiScatter and still containing the same 500 000 objects the scene can take just 250Kb. | Usually scenes in 3ds max with a great amount of even identical objects take a lot of space on HDD, consumes a lot of time for loading, and it is very hard to work with.

| With default settings texture coordinates set only location of objects, but not their rotation and scale. Activation of **Affect Transform** option lets you set rotation of objects to UVW Mapping. For example, rotating UVW Mapping Gizmo, the objects will be rotating the same way following texture rotation. If you need to control not only rotation, but scale also then turn on **Affect Scale** option. With this, the scale of objects can be change suddenly. For controlling the scale use **XY Scale** and **Z Scale** options if necessary. With ‘Affect Transform’ option active, ‘Use Normal’ setting of the ‘Rotate’ settings should be set as 0.0. | With default settings texture coordinates set only location of objects, but not their rotation and scale.
