Controlling the distribution of clones
Posted by Darren Lee on May 14, 2020 at 3:10 pmHi, is there a way of controlling how frequent an object is used in a clone?
For example, I would like the Torus to only appear twice… or 10% of the time, rather than them being evenly distrubuted:

I’ve tried mograph cache bake.. and a connect object, but it doesn’t seem to work properly, some of the instance objects are missing

May 15, 2020 at 1:42 pmI’m not sure what you’re trying to do, so for best exposure I would suggest creating a new post and describing (and including a simple project file if possible) just what you’re trying to accomplish. That way readers may be able to offer some solutions to your question, and perhaps suggest other approaches to your ultimate goal.
