    3:23 Density is just in terms of area, not volume: "The number of points to distribute per square meter on each mesh face." So a density of 173 means 173 crystals per m², or 0.0173 crystals per cm² - which isn't much on a cube with 2cm×2cm faces. (We got lucky to get any crystals at all!) The factor of 10000 Andrew typed in at 5:36 (or _1e5_ if you're lazy 😉) does exactly that conversion from m² to cm² (b/c 100 centimeters fit into a meter, and 100×100 centimeter-long squares fit into a meter-long square), so the _Sugar Density_ input ends up to be in nice units of "crystals per square centimeter." 🤓

    ​@@blenderguru Like @Animzotic said, outside of this particular node (volumetric shader nodes, physics in general...), density is in terms of volume more often than not - so it was a good instinct. ;) I'd actually love to have a _"Distribute Points in Volume"_ node, though - r/n you can fake it by slicing the mesh with a stack of planes and an intersection boolean, but it's slow and janky.

    Maybe a shorter way that avoid the Math/Multiply node is to do this before you begin the tutorial: Go to Scene Properties and set the Unit Scale to 0.01. I have this set by default because I model small things all the time. But it´s also very rewarding to see how to do it all the way around with nodes! I like the depth of your tutorials!!

    For anyone reading: the drawback is that you might want to keep the scale untouched if you are working on a more complex scene or for stuff that will be imported lets say to a Game Engine. So it is an option if you are doing a single object but the way approached in the video would be a more convenient one in bigger scenes.
