Random texture mapping

[smirnoff]

Hi guys,

I need to randomly place texture on many objects with same material.
I found this article (http://www.nartnet.net/blog/?p=586), but don’t know, how to achieve it.

Thanks for any opinion.

I’ve been managing to do this within grasshopper by baking any breps out as a mesh with a randomised box mapping.

Thanks for response. Could you tell me, how to do the randomised box mapping?

you could also use scale and rotate to further alter the mapping. This can also be done with planar/spherical/cylinder/surface mapping

you will need to have human installed into grasshopper.

Hey Marcel,

Perhaps this is what you search:

Really FUN script request that might actually be useful for others

What I’d like to do is select a group of objects. Run script. -Prompt for number x of layers -Make x layers -Assign each object in the selection randomly to one of the layers. I know true randomization is difficult but someone clever can probably figure something out. In my case I’d like to use it for floors, which are made of hundreds of planks. I’ve got a handful of different plank images. I’d like to assign a different plank materials to each layer… and if the planks could all go on the l…
