This is true for landscape items (trees, shrubs) but also for things like wooden boards (see left side in the image above): On a collection of real boards, the knots would be distributed somewhat randomly, not as shown here. Turns out, we can fix this easily with a few lines of code.

Want to use this without coding? This script is also in one of the tools of my Random Tools extension.
