Hi,

Is there an easy way to precisely create points on a surface ?
I want to be able to “paint” the points exactly where I click on the surface.
The paint sop + scatter is not really made for this, so I was wondering if there was another way.

Thanks,

No, there is no way to paint “exactly”. You would have to infinitely subdivide.

use the draw curve sop with geometry projection, you can click-add points with that tool.
