Surface Scatter: when all objects are removed from the container the scatter remains

When all objects are removed from the container of a surface scatter, either by directly clicking on the "-" in a circle in the "Scatter" line, or by listing all objects and removing one by one, the scatter still remains on the surface. In the latter case, if the scatter has more than 1 object, the scatter is refreshed each time I remove one object, except in the last one, where it remains exactly as it was.

dirt materials

Is it possible to get the dirt feature to work with proximity? So say you want dirt to appear on a wall but just close to an object or floor?

Pipe/Cable features/questions

Hello, I am finally getting a chance to dive into the new Dash. There are a lot of cool new features! I'm making an "updated" version from a favorite level in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and trying to work with the cable and pipe tools to create some computer cables to plug into an outlet with a plug. Am I correct in my assumption (after looking everywhere), that you cannot use a custom cable mesh? I have a lot of cable meshes for spline cables, and it would be great to be able to use these. I al...

Terrain pivot suddenly resets

If I create a Dash terrain, move it from where it was created, do some kind of transformation (e.g. change scale) and move it again, the pivot is suddenly moved to the original place where the terrain was created. See video.

Why not posting all the little Discord tutorial videos as shorts in Polygonflow YT channel?

It's quite common to have great short tutorial videos as direct responses to comments or questions in the various channels of Discord. But due to being scattered all around, it's not easy to find them later. Why not systematically host them all in Polygonflow YT channel as shorts?

Scattered objects growing smaller in the shade or under meshes

It would be great to have a masking option like that for i.e. make shorter grass under a parking bench.

Issue with shadows on foilage

Hey im fairly certain this has to do with a setting within my scene, but maybe if someone else found a fix for this I would appreciate some help. As you can see my plants have deep black shadows that flicker intensely. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Two feature requests

1. Scatter per material for meshes with multiple materials. 2. An option in path scatters width settings to mirror one side. Would be great for guardrails or snow embankments on roads....

Custom asset libraries can load external projects

Hi, I tried the custom asset library in the latest version. It's great to use, but can it then load external project UE libraries like Megascan? As you import more and more asset packages into the project, there is a huge memory footprint, which can exceed 100GB. If imported from outside, you can keep a clean project and use only the assets you need. I know of a plugin called Uasset Browser that can do this, but it keeps the same structure as the project when browsing, and Dash's AI notes are much better to use....

Animation

I think it would be friggin cool to be able to animate the scatter. A scene of a small community taken over by trees and moss would be a rad render. Or a skull overtaken by diamonds. Especially given the options (height, proximity, density), that control would be siiiiiick.

Why not specular in the material editor?

The material editor seems to have most of the basic settings, except specular. This is not ideal if, for example, we want a completely non specular material, like dry soil.

Procedural to static doesn't seem to be working in 1.5.1

I realize I can only enable displacement if nanite is enabled and I can only enable nanite in a Dash terrain if I convert it first to a static mesh (right?). But the latter step doesn't seem to be working. Nothing seems to change when I do it. It shows "calculating distance fields" for a brief moment and then the actor remains unchanged, with the normal Actor type and icon. And if I try to enable Nanite, it doesn't seem to do anything because displacement doesn't work. The same happens with a Da...

Constant crashes after latest Dash update (1.5.1)

Is there a way to revert to the previous version just to make sure these constant crashes are related with this update?

Make Instances editable in the surface scatter

This would make this tool sooo flexible and powerful. After the scatter be able to delete or move individual instances as in the foliage tool!

Perpetual Plan Question

Hi, first of all congratulations for the amazing work on Dash, it is really amazing. I have a question regarding the Perpetual License, if I purchase it I will only have updates for 12 months? I don't understand very well what will happen after those 12 months, because normally when you buy a perpetual license it means that you will always have updates. Could someone explain me what is the difference between a normal and a perpetual license? Thanks!...
