Particle arrays random rotation and scale

[mykyl66]

Particle arrays - Needs the ability to choose a random rotation/scale etc. For example if I use the surface mesh and place trees on a ground object I would like to have the ability to randomise the rotation and even perhaps the scale of each instance so that they are not so uniform.

Can't you use the particle tag on the children elements of the particle array to add "variability"?

Forgot about that one. Doesn't seem to work quite right mind you. Just rotates the objects around the main object. It is not rotating around its own axis.

Oh and of course you cannot apply a particle tag to the particle object itself.

Hi,
it should rotate around the particles axis.

Your right. Somehow during the building of the scene I moved the pivot point away from the original particle object.
Sorted now.

Thanks.
