Hi Thomas,

The moss itself is a mesh object but there are also blobs underneath the 
moss. I place blobs using trace onto the surface of the rock then use 
trace again to place the moss plant onto the blobs. The blobs can be 
used to add a less even look if the surface is flat (not really an issue 
in this case).

It is pretty much the same moss macro that is used in my old train scene 
just with a different mesh object for the moss and an added parameter to 
determine how many of the seed pods are place.

I will probably combine the two macros together so you can choose from 1 
of 3 types of moss with or without seed pods. Happy to uploade it if 
anyone wants to use it, there is nothing particularly clever in there 
just trace and some parameters to adjust scale/size/randomness etc.
