          [...] I think it's amazing you can make it work with Enscape and all. [...]

          It also works with V-Ray and potentially other renderers. 😄 👍
          Just randomize the component-proxy made with V-Ray/other...
          (Right click on component-proxy then left click "Randomize...".)

                                This extension is amazing! I use this all the time in our workflow we have for quickly dispersing trees along terrain. I am having a lot of trouble getting the "Set Random Zone from Image..." function to work. I can select the image, and type in the parameters for centimeters per pixel, etc. but once i select OK the following error message pops up:

                                Error: undefined method 'unpack' for nil:NilClass

                                Is there any way you could help me with this? This extension is amazing, and the function of Set Random Zone from Image would be a giant help to our team. Thanks Samuel!

                                  This extension is only compatible with 24-bit BMP images. So be sure to select a 24-bit BMP image...
