Lotus stem spots



It is common for Chinese paintings of lotus plants to have small black dots on the stems of the leaves and flowers as you can see on the example to the left.


I had to find a way to create these spots efficiently and so that they would move with the gentle sway of the objects.  Paint Effects once again!  I created a brush that would spawn these tiny black dots and used the "Paint on Surface" feature to stick them to the stems.  This allowed them to move with the surface of the stem as it was animated.
