rewritten the scattering plugin - to scatter hair, grass etc - indeed any object over another.  ok for 6.01

not perfect but going on holidays. picture of what it does on other computer - may post later.  follow instructions included or you will crash. brief instructions as still typing with one hand.

sometimes it doesn't work and i don't know why :-( - always does the first time i run it. if you want to try it save your work.  can get it from here:

here's a little picture of what it does.  materials and uvs are rotated and scaled with the objects.

and the main input form, which may help you decide if you want the plugin.
