1:02:00 - Where to find the tools and different Licenses

------------------------------------------------

I have been doing some significant changes in the AL Tools, more specifically in the way AdvancedScatter works. It is about time for a fully detailed breakdown !

Quick disclaimer though, the V6 of AdvancedScatter is so different internally that this node will most likely mess up the scattering of your current or past projects... It was a tough decision, but this tool is so complex that carrying deprecated features would only make it more confusing for new users.
The upgrade maybe worth re-setting your different scatters if you are working on something though. ;)
