Can i use Noise Maps for distribution?

[Nintenjo]

I would like to use some noise maps blended together with gradients to control where my FP scatters. However i am having an issue where my map and my scatter objects dont seem to line up.

In this basic test you can see some noise i have color corrected and used as my distribution map on a sphere. I am using the same noise in the diffuse channel of my material but the scatter and the noise dont line up. Am i missing a setting or step to have them align? It looks like the scattering is using the map but not how its mapped?

Hi,

It may be related to the position of the Forest object. I’d suggest placing the Forest gizmo at the center of 3ds Max’s world coordinates and using World XYZ mapping. I hope that helps.

Best regards,

Thanks ill give it a try
