EFFECT

Randomize

 

The Effect->Randomize command in the Model module allows you to randomly displace points on polygon mesh objects and patch or NURBS surface objects. It is not useful for curves or faces. You can select the whole object, or define a specific area to randomize for a local effect.

 

Procedure

  1. To apply the effect over the whole object, select the object.
  2. To apply the effect to a specific area of the object, tag points on the object and choose the TAG manipulation mode.
  3. Choose the Effect->Randomize command.

    The Randomize dialogue box is displayed.

  4. Set the Size for each axis: range [0, x]. This is the maximum displacement of points along each axis, measured in SOFTIMAGE units.
  5. Set the number of Repetitions of random calculation: range is from 0 to x.
  6. Click Ok to accept the settings or Cancel to exit the dialogue box.
