Allow to generate a primitive geometry (any

The 3d generator of a 3D Layer represents a source of geometry.

Random Points
Allow to display points randomly over a geometry

for an awesome scatter effect. If you want to scatter meshes inside a 3d volume (and not only randomly on the surface of a geometry), then check out the

Here is an example of a plane instantiating box, with a random point modifier :
Be also very attentive to the general order of the modifiers :
A less costly but less versatile alternative to instantiate can be a
Box Points
Display points of a geometry with Boxes

or a
Ball Points
Display points of a geometry with spheres

. I say less versatile as the principle of the instantiate is that you can put an actual geometry inside of it and so do any transformations you could do over it.
Here is a little mograph made with that modifier, a
Point Rotate
Rotate all vertices of geometry

grouped with a

Note that any Smode primitive can be used as instantiate generator (as well as
