Allows you to apply a random number generator to the MASH network.
Random Node
-
Position X,
Position Y,
Position Z
-
Determines which of the network's translate attributes are randomized. The value range is from the negative to the positive of the value entered.
-
Rotation X,
Rotation Y,
Rotation Z
-
Determines which of the network's rotate attributes are randomized. The value range is from the negative to the positive of the value entered.
-
Scale X,
Scale Y,
Scale Z
-
Determines which of the network's scale attributes are randomized. The value range is from the negative to the positive of the value entered.
-
Absolute Scale
-
Ensures all scale values are positive.
-
Random Seed
- Sets the randomization for the generator.
-
Uniform Scale
-
Scales points equally in all axes (Scale X value is used).
-
Normalize Random
-
Normalizes the random number to a value between 0 and 1.
-
Transformation Space
-
Determines whether to transform points relative to their shared
World space or their individual
Local spaces.
Strength
-
Strength
- Fades the node's effect for all the objects at the same time.
-
Random Strength
- Smoothly fades the node's effect on all the objects in a random order.
-
Step Strength
- Turns the node's effect off one object at a time.
-
Strength Map
- Determines the input file (2D texture, animated texture, etc) that controls the node's effect.
-
Map Projection Axis
- Determines the axis along which the
Strength Map is projected.
-
Map Helper
- Displays the object being used to interactively place the
Strength Map in the scene. You can right-click the field to create a new helper object (a plane) if none exists. You can also middle-drag a mesh into this field or right-click to connect a selected mesh. If a mesh is already connected, you can also right-click to break its connection or show it in the Outliner.
Note: For the best results, assign the same texture to both the
Strength Map and the
Map Helper (this automatically happens when creating a new helper object).
-
Whole Numbers
- Forces output values to be whole numbers.
-
Normalise Random
- Normalizes all random numbers so that they fall within the 0-1 range in world units. Note that you can increase
Strength to a value greater than 1.0 to offset this.
Individual Axis Controls
Allows you to customize the minimum and maximum values output on a per axis basis. The node only uses them when their value is not 0.
