howto: populate ecosystem upside down

#1

Hi, I was wondering if it’s possible to populate an ecosystem upside down: to explain better what I mean, think about some stalactites.
If you have a simple flat terrain, I’d like to be able to populate it so that objects would be oriented down and not up.
A trick to do it is to roll 180° the terrain once has been populated, but I was wondering if there was a clever solution to it or perhaps a python script ?

Thanks

I believe that GeekatPlay.com have a tutorial on how to do this and also Vue 7 has the ability to paint or create ecosystems at any angle.

yeh when you are painting, just tinker with the ‘Direction from Surface’ slider when you are painting would help.

#4

you can also set the populated object’s pivot above the object and it will go through the terrain, when part of an ecosystem.

Hi Nick, how would you change the object pivot ? I don’t see any option to do that. Thanks !
