Title: DISTRIBUTE ALONG PATH - Translation Coordinates
Post by: MK3983 on November 28, 2018, 02:17:10 PM

Hi guys!

I'm using distribute along path and i need to randomise the distance between my ForestObjects.
Translation works fine on World Coordinates but, is there a way to follow spline orientation.

For instance i have a spline which covers both x&y axis,
so if i want to randomise the distance between my aligned scattered objects,
currently Translation wont do it since it is based on world coordinates and will deviate those objects outside my path.

Please check the video below where i try to show you an idea of what I'm trying to achieve.

Any ideas if and how this can be achieved?

Please let me know if more info are needed

Regards,
Ledian

We have effect called XY Local Translate:

I hope this helps You. If You want another level of control I would suggest You check our other plugin - RailClone (https://www.itoosoft.com/railclone)

Thank you for  your time!

This is exactly what i was looking for.
For an unknown reason, when i tried it before, it didn't offer me the randomisation.

Again Thank you!
