Yes you can do that with Skatter.
You can do it with two Skatter setups:
- One for the base (white) tiles covering the whole surface. (Actually, it’s probably better to use a texture map for this, as it will limit the amount of geometry, and it will look the same)
- One for the blue tiles, with the tiles components being a tiny bit thicker than the white ones, so that we can see them. This Skatter setup has a clipping area with an inverted density falloff.
Here is an example file. Right click on the tiles and click “Edit Skatter group”, so that you can see the settings.
