Cycles: How to Random Location, Rotation an Scale of Mapping ?

Support Materials and Textures

Hi

You see in my example all boards have the same mappinglocation.

Does anybody know how to set Random X,Y and Z Location-Values to the Mappingnode ?
I can’t find any Inputs for the Mapping values.
Or is there some other way to randomly move the xy-location of a mapping without touching each board by hand ?

Kind regards
Alain

@ ALain

this looks interesting for cycles

do you have a small sample file to thsi randomg thing!

not certain how and what it does with the nodes set up in cycles

also is the video tut for cycles also ?

can this be applied let say to a duplicated object or instaced object?

thanks for any feedback

I’m not sure it helps:
Random_Mapping_02_090712.zip (1.53 MB)

It still needs alot of improvements:
-It should not Copy the Material, just the Drivers (if possible).
-There should be a way to make work for linked copies (Alt-D or arrays)

My little stupid head doesn’t find a solution for this at the moment.

Kind regards
Alain

@ Alain

left random value

not certain what this infodoc node gives
is like an integer like a sequence 0 ,1 ,2 3, 4 ect.

or a random number between 0 and 1 ?

but the render looks very nice
not too drak or light and many random values for hue ect.

nice work for UV map
hope it can do the same for proc textures

thanks for sample file

salutations

The Object Info Node Random Output produces Values between 0 and 1 I guess.
But I don’t know if 0.00 or 0.000 or 0.0000 and so on…

Kind regards

Sanne did a little Update to simplify the Nodesetup.
Here is my updated file:

Thanks again to smart head Sanne :slight_smile:

@Ricky
I would like to see the FloorGenerator (http://www.cg-source.com) for 3D Max in Blender :wink:

Kind regards

you mean to make like this !

i’d like to have one to add 100’ of planks like that
for the Titanic wood floor deck
would be easier to do the do it by hand !

did you check the script libray to see if there is one ?

i’v seen external rgram that can do that

thanks

For Blender 2.6 there os not such a Script. The has been a Floorgenerator for Blender 2.49.

Kind regards
Alain

but do you have the link for this floor generator in 2.49

i might ahve it on my HD
i’ll check out !

and it would help

thanks

it makes the tiles but when rendering you dont’ really see it as tiles!
like there are not joints between the tiles!
