Outline:

SurfaceSPREAD is a Cinema 4D plugin for distributing (“scattering”) large amounts of object clones such as trees and shrubs over landscape scenes. By reacting to the topology of the landscape, SurfaceSPREAD lets users create both realistic and phantastic images and animations. Maxon Cinema 4D is a popular a 3D software suite for modeling, animation, simulation, and rendering available for macOS and Windows.

Participants in this workshop will
1. Learn to work with the SurfaceSPREAD object and distribute different kind of trees on terrain.
2. Discover the SplineSPREAD object by plating tree rows on splines.
3. Get an overview of the use of the wide selection of straightforward parameters to influence the distribution, alignment, scaling, and display of clone objects, as well as maximize the overall speed and performance of the landscape scene.
4. Learn how to manually control distributions with help of splines, vertex painting, bitmaps, or distribution modifiers.
