combining sequence and random segments

[tzaar]

Hi!

Is it possible to start with a specific sequence of segments on a spline, and then have the rest of it be random segments? For as long as the spline goes on?
I'm using evenly to distribute my segments on a linear generator.

Hi,

Yes, absolutely - there are several ways to achieve the desired setup. Probably the simplest approach is to use a Compose Operator in Sequence mode connected to the Start input of the generator, and a Randomize Operator wired to the Default input. I hope that helps.

Best regards,

Yes, it work. Thank you! But when I use start or default I cannot cancel out the local rotation like you helped me with in my previous post. They just seem to follow the spline in default mode, but in evenly they do. Any new work around to get all the segments (products) facing the same direction? Or how to get the sequence + random working with evenly?

It's not the end of the work if it doesn't I just have to make up a really long sequence my self then.

The previously mentioned style setup should work for these inputs as well - just make sure that the Transform Operator with Z Fixed Rotation is correctly wired between them. You can easily copy the operator by dragging it while holding the Shift key. If you run into any issues, feel free to send us your scene and we’ll be happy to take a look.

Best regards,
