I am trying to do grass and would like  densier  distribution . Is there a way to do it in same shape splatter node ?    By having unrestricted shape multiplier  probably like with fx -map?

It is clamped within the shape splatter node.

If you save a copy of the shape splatter node and open it, you can modify the processing within it to create your own modified version, but is not as simple as just unclamping the max 'Scale' input. Doing that still results in the max value of 5 still being used within the processing, so you will need to edit the functions being used by the pixel processors within the node.

Yeah, I understand it. I just couldn't  find  what math exactly  is in control of that limit.   When  I try to unclamp the scaling  factor  the things are just getting cropped  and that's all.    So to be exact I need to know  what math function and where  is in control of  that crop ?     Any why  it's limited at all ?

You can see all the functions driving the node if you copy it and open it for editing. It is complex though and uses several pixel processors, each with its own function. The scaling value is used in one the pixel processors labelled 1322881960
