replicate_mesh

[mjcg91]

@suryamunny  has been asking many time for this compound we've a had long time ago, so I've recreated it.

It uses point_position, point_scale, and point_orientation to transform the mesh. If these properties doesn't exist then it will use default values. It also transform any normal data found on the input mesh. No dependency required.

thank u so much😍.

Maxime somehow its not working for me.

Here is the scene file.

Figured it out. Had to set the Value to float3.

If id like to use this compound to create some random rotated trees how do i do that?

I found no way to limit the rotations. 

[mjcg91 · Accepted solution]

You should use the "random_value" node instead, it has min / max ports, quite useful to set range.

Btw if you just want need to render trees, I think it might be wiser to use instancing rather than a replicated mesh.

Thanks Maxime thats perfect!

But how should a non TD know that a degree_to_radiants and an euler_to_quaternion is needed to get that working?

[mjcg91]

These are not "needed". You could directly set some random quaternion values and it would work fine. You could also set euler values directly in radians.

When setting arbitrary rotations, euler degrees in just easier to deal with.
