Randomize rotations within a value

[samboosa]

Hello all!

I have a grid of boxes which I want to rotate randomly but I want to limit to rotations to say 15 degrees and -15 degrees.

I know I could clamp the rotation between 345 degrees and 15 but this would be too erratic, what I want is for these boxes to jiggle basically.

This seems very simple but I just can't think of it, any ideas?

you can write a simple expression for this:

(-15+(rand($PT)*30)),

something like this would do the trick

if you want to rotate over more axes:

(-15+(rand($PT+874)*30))

(-15+(rand($PT+411)*30))

just add different generic numbers for each axis

if you do this via copy stamping:

(-15+(rand(stamp("../copy1","copy",0)+411)*30))

I can't believe I didn't think of that! I honestly don't know why I didn't think of setting the rotation to the minimum value at first, this will come in handy!

for readibility it makes more sense to use fit01() expression

like

fit01(rand($PT), -15,15)

or

15*fit01(rand($PT), -1,1)
