Title: FP_7 strange behavior of lights in a group
Post by: DT2656 on March 09, 2021, 06:56:17 AM

When trying to rotate a lantern consisting of a group (pole, shade, light source), only the pole is tilted, the shade and light rotates around its axis but not together with the group's pivot point.
Is this how it should be or is this issue not yet finalized?

Hi.
Groups are tricky, does not matter if it has lights or anything else. I would recommend reading this grouped objects (https://forum.itoosoft.com/forest-pro-(*)/scattering-groups-5300/) thread.

Anyway, short answer is- You can use noise map to unify randomization:

Thanks. Everything worked, the problem was in the pivot points.
