I have also been missing pressure support on the Inks. I took a go at adding pressure to the Randomizer Ink, and it seems to work fairly well, although it's nothing fancy.
Check out the attached file, just put it into your AdvPainter folder and you should have a new Ink Available.

would be amazing to have an option for animation offset in scatterer/randomizer...
working on a project in which a city is being built "stop motion" style, this feature could come handy.

Thanks!
I'll give it a try right away. Love this script.
-------------
Tried it now and it works fine. Just one little thing:
When switching between different brushes (Randomizer to Scatterer for example) the settings on your new parameters (min scale and max scale) are lost and reset to 1,0 (default). This is not the case with other parameters.
It would be handy to have them stay as the were when switching between the brushes.
-------------
Testing some more:
It seems that the settings are there but that it looks as if they are reset to default. Also the "Lock" check box is not updated when switching between brushes.
Also:
You haven't updated the About-page. It still says Version 1.5 for Max 5.1. Personally I think you and 3DZver are entitled to be mentioned there too. The URL that is written is no longer active.
I think that's about it!
Thanks for a nice improvement.
