Scale map
Loads a greyscale map to control the Scale in X, Y and Z globally. Fully white areas will represent the maximum scale specified, while fully black areas will represent scale zero.

- Perpendicular to the surface when set to 0%
- World-Y axis (up) when set to 100%
If you set the value to 0%, the main direction will be the base polygon normal direction (and then all the variations are applied); if you set the value to 100%, that main direction will be World-Y, but then, in the intermediate values is where it gets interesting, as a 50% value gives direction in between the normal and the world-Y, which is more natural in the case of plants. After the main growth direction is set, the variations are applied.
