Example Patch mesh instancer
This patch demonstrates how we can generate 3 arrays of random numbers between 0-1.
Using the arrayMultiply op allows us to smoothly change the range of each array going into the position, scale and rotation arrays.
INPUT PORTS
exe (Trigger)
Trigger in
geom (Object)
The shape that will be instanced
Scale (Number)
Global scale for all instances, disabled if scale array is used
Limit Number of Instances
Limit Instances (Number:boolean )
Enable to set a limit on how many instances are created
Limit (Number:integer )
If limit instances is enabled this number determines how many instances are created
Parameters
positions (Array)
Needs an XYZ array to determine the positions of each instance
Scale Array (Array)
needs an XYZ array to determine the scale of each instance
Rotations (Array)
Needs an XYZ array to determine the xyz rotation of each instance. 0-360 degrees
OUTPUT PORTS
Num (Number)
Total number of instances/shapes
