dfmn Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 So I'm trying to figure out how to do a random distance on the PolyExtrude but with no luck. I thought it would be simple with just a rand($PR) expression... I found some old example files and they use that expression but the polyextrude is different so I guess its an older version of the extrude. Any one that has an idea how to do this in H15? Cheers!

mestela Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Yep, the new polyextrude uses attributes rather than local variables. On the 'local control' tab you'll find toggles to enable attribute overrides for various properties. To randomise the distance, turn on 'zscale', and make sure you have a randomized @zscale attribute on the primitives feeding the extrude. Attached 2 ways to do this, one with a prim wrangle, the other with an attribute randomize sop. rand_polyextrude.hipnc 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
