Hey there,
I'm currently working on a script to scatter objects on a polygonal surface. To position the objects I first need to get a random position on the surface. Of course I can get the positions by emitting particles from the object that stick to its surface and step through the particles for the position.
But obviously the emitter already calculates those positions in the first place to be able to create the particles. So I was wondering how that is done, so I could use this method instead.
Does anyone have a suggestion here?
