    Hello,
    I am simply trying to get sprinkles to lay on the contour of a donut. I created my sprinkles by putting a capsule in a cloner object.

    Can someone point me in a direction please…thanks!

    Create a polygon selection where you want the sprinkles. Set the cloner to object mode and refernce the donut. Drop the selection tag into the Cloner’s selection box to restrict the sprinkles. Set the distribution mode to surface. Use a random effector to vary rotation. Brew some coffee and away you go.

    I’m curious as to how you did the “icing”?

    I made a material and used the pic below as the texture, to give it an alpha, made the color white and gave it a bump to looked raised.
