Useful!
I first used this script with max7 or something. Seems way back.
I dont use it every day, but when I need it its there. Pure reliability. Thanks for sharing.
copy error
All you need is to run your max as an administrator.
Right click on your max icon and choose "Run As Administrator".
Now you can run Advanced Painter script on your max.
can you post the listener
can you post the listener result?

I tried several times and every time i got the same error.
Does anybody know why is this, i'm using 7 64bits, max 2010 64bits and VRay1.5
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Fill a surface
This script would be even greater if there were an option in scatterer to fill a surface with copies instead of having to paint them. You know, painting small objects like grass is too slow.

This Tool is amazing!
It saved me a couple of days while creating an architectural project. I used it to put different windows on the smaller white houses in the front of this picture. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing!
