Hi all,

In my current WIP I'm trying to place some objects (spheres) onto another
set of objects and I'm not having much success. I've tried JRG's Scatter
macro, but can't get the results I want (but still a kick-ass macro). As far
as I understand the scatter macro searches for three points of contact,
which of course doesn't truly happen for a sphere (without intersection
anyway). So I was thinking that using one of the particle systems (hope I
got the name right - it's the ones with the bouncing balls) to position the
objects and just taking the final frame.

So which one's best (or at least easiest to use)?

thanks in advance
jim
