00:00 - Intro
00:09 - Add a Chaos Scatter object.
00:17 - Choose where to distribute your foliage.
00:25 - Add objects to be distributed (trees).
00:30 - Adjust the number of scattered instances to create.
00:46 - Adjust slope controls & fine-tune your distribution (stop trees from growing on cliffs).
01:03 - Set up a second Scatter for grass.
01:46 - Use spline objects to exclude specific areas (make a path through the grass).
01:55 - Fine-tune paths with distance controls.
02:10 - Each spline can have different settings (create multiple paths through the grass, which can all have different widths).
02:39 - Add a third scatter for bushes and wild flowers (spline excludes mean they will not appear on the paths).
02:43 - Add a fourth scatter for large rocks on the shore.
03:08 - Use closed splines for precise distribution (use spline includes to limit the large rocks to a specific area on the shore).
03:18 - ‘Avoid Collisions’ to control spacing of instances (avoid rocks overlapping each other).
03:30 - Final render.
03:36 - Try Chaos Corona.
