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
Trigger In
The shape that will be instanced
Global scale for all instances, disabled if scale array is used
Limit Number of Instances
Enable to set a limit on how many instances are created
If limit instances is enabled this number determines how many instances are created
Parameters
Needs an XYZ array to determine the positions of each instance
Needs an XYZ array to determine the scale of each instance
Needs an XYZ array to determine the XYZ rotation of each instance. 0 - 360 degrees.
Pick a material blend mode with an integer
Multiply, Add or Normal. Pick the blending mode the material for instances
Needs an RGBA array to determine the color of each instance.
OUTPUT PORTS
Trigger Out
Total number of instances/shapes
