Yeah, its a sweet new plug for sure - especially since its free

 

I've been using it for a few weeks and it does give better results, however it is significantly slower with complex geometry.

 

I also just bought Surface Painter by Paul Everette and I am about to buy his wire shader.

Haha, sorry strat.

 

Surface Painter Summary:

Create a library of textured polygonal objects and variations, then spray paint them onto other objects.

Verdict: Kick Ass. Amazing for planting trees, rocks flowers - basically anything you need scattered quickly. Be warned about using high poly (over a few hundred) objects. You get full control over variations in scale and rotation. Downside is it costs 69 euros and your library MUST be polygonal objects.

 

Finger Painter Summary:

I helped Paul design and beta test this plug so I dig it Basically you can drag, clone and rotate objects along the surfaces of other objects.

Verdict: ITS FREE! And works fantastic. Great for planting trees and flowers one at a time.

 

Wire Shader:

I dont have this yet, but it looks awesome.
