Random pavement of three segments
« on: December 03, 2021, 09:08:04 AM »
Hello,
is it possible to somehow randomly stack a pavement of three segments of 10x20, 20x20, 30x20 + their 90° rotation? It's not a problem using Compose and various transformations of the segments to create a pattern, but it will repeat over time. Or is this utopia? :-)

Can I just clarify if that picture is what you are trying to create (which seems to have a repeating pattern so is doable) or are you looking for a layout that's completely randomised?

Thanks,
Paul

The picture was for illustrative purposes only. It's really about random repetition. But if that's not feasible, I understand. I'll create three or four "lines" and repeat them randomly. Thanks

Please take a look at the attached, it's should be pretty close to the picture but its a repeating pattern, not randomised.



As you point out, the best way to fake it will be to create several different compositions and randomly select them.

Best,

Paul

Thanks, eventually the customer will have to accept that it won't be completely random.
Can you please send the max (2020)? I seem to have found a bug in RC 5.0.4 with padding. I tried to create a pattern like yours and the RC randomly disappeared. I don't know if I had a bug there. Maybe I will learn from your max. Thanks

Thanks, I guess I was trying to add padding to infinity instead of using MOD. This broke the RC :-) Oh the basic math :-)
