[Max] General Discussion / Chaos scatter randomization
« on: 2024-03-27, 13:21:08 »
Hi,
I'm using chaos scatter to populate large parking lots with cars. It's a simple spline scattering, with 250 cm distance between the cars. I have ca. 30 different car models.
The main problem is randomization. Sometimes i get 3-4 instances of the same cars next to each other. Or if there are only 25 items to place via the scatter, it doesn't takes 25 unique car models, instead mabe 10 and then I have of course multiple instances of the same models next to eachother.
Is there any way to force chaos scatter to take as many different models from the list as possible, to reduce repetation? Sure, I can change the random seed, but it creates then a different state, with other repeating cars. Frequeny is 1 for all instanced objects, except for one, the model for empty space, it has a fequency of 30 to have also empty space in the parking lot.
I also tried Forest Pack for this, but had similar results.
Thanks for any advice.
