# Surface Scale Blue Noise

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Surface Scale Blue Noise distribution node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. Beyond blue-noise placement it adds randomized scaling per matrix — varied, overlap-friendly scattering in one node.

This Node calculates a distribution along a given geometry surface, just as Surface Blue-Noise does. In addition to the placement, the distribution matrices can also receive a randomized scaling.

The calculated distribution along the surface gives different results than the Surface Fill as it tries to break up any regularity in the placement of the matrices.

The Node computes a distribution along the surface based on a noise structure. The effect is therefore comparable to the Surface Blue Noise Node, but variations in size can also be created here.
