gaussRandom question

[Dan Ebberts]

You can use poseterizeTime() to set a frame rate, or you can use seedRandom(seed,true) where “seed” is a variable you change whenever you want the value to change. This example will change once a second:

seed = Math.floor(time);
seedRandom(seed,true);
gaussRandom(100);

thanks again dan!
however, I have a few followup questions

wont changing seed just make it pop to another value every second?

is there any type of noise, kind of like a wiggle that evolves more than pops to another value for more organic movement? i guess im just into learning about what i can do with noise, since ive found noise to be super useful in C4D xpresso setups

and what exactly does the math.floor element do?

btw – am working my way through “learning processing’ its really helped me understand some more about how java works an an environment where i can see what i’m doing, but still reliant on code. good stuff

Yes. If you want a smooth evolution, you’ll want to use wiggle() or noise().

Math.floor() just rounds down to the nearest whole number.
