      Looks like a good one. I think it's amazing you can make it work with Enscape and all. Thank you!

        With 1.0.4 version:

        You can create proxies for Enscape. So, a tree becomes a forest in secs.
        Proxies are symbolized by little translucent cubes with a random color:

            What's new in 1.0.5 version?

            • There is a new param: Avoid entity collision. After 5 unsuccessful attempts, collided entity is erased.
            • Enscape proxies have real dimensions based on real model. This allows a better collision detection.
            • You can specify, via context menu, a spawn zone for generated objects. It is called "Random Zone":
