Title: Random pavement of three segments
Post by: RealViz 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? :-)

Thanks,
Paul

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

Best,

Paul

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
