Random colour fill from a range of preselected colours
Hello to the community!
Does someone has an idea or could explain the approach to achieve the following animation with windows? –> https://www.sibelga.be/uploads/assets/681/fr/1450961754421-joyeusesfetesFR.gif
I exported .ai file in ae, with two layers – top fill and bottom fill (windows). The second layer has (x)amount of groups for each shape (window).
I tried to randomise the fill colour, but it applies the whole layer. Although I am not sure if that is an accurate description, because I have three colours from which the shapes should fill.
Any suggestions on how to move forward or another approach?
Many thanks,
Katya

Assuming you have a Fill in each group in the shape layer, I’d add an expression to each Fill so they each display a random brightness value from black [0,0,0] to white [1,1,1]. Then I’d use a Colorama effect on the layer (with Interpolate Palette set to Off!) to force the windows to your specific palette.
You can use an expression like this:
// use seedRandom to generate a "timeless" value
seedRandom(1, true);
// pick a random number between 0 and 1
var x = random();
// put that same random number into the red, blue and green channels
// to give us a brightness value. Keep alpha full!
[x,x,x,1]I’ve attached a sample project that shows how it all works together. Please ask questions if anything isn’t clear!
