Random seed on multiple layers
Hi,
I want the same random seed on two different layers, is that not possible?
To explain, I have two layers with a expression on their position channel.
Layer 1:
seedRandom(6, true);
[random()*1000,200];Layer 2:
seedRandom(6, true);
[random()*1000,400];Both layer now have a random x value. But I would like them to have the SAME random value. Since the seed is the same I assumed this would work, but it don’t.
Any help?
– I could of course parent one layer to the other, but this is just a simplified setup to figure out how to do this.
Thanks,

That works with wiggle(), but not random(). What I generally do is move the random call to a neutral location, like a slider or point control on a null, which I then use to publish the random value to all other layers that need it.

Had the feeling, that would be the only way to do it. I was hoping for a more clean way to do it though.
But thanks, again. You seem to be the one who answers all my questions no matter which forum. 🙂 I appreciate it.
