Randomize attributes

[Anonymous]

Hi all, I'm new to MEL script and wanted to create a simple way of quickly randomizing certain attributes of geometric primitives. For example, if I wanted to randomize the ScaleY of pCube1 within a range of .5 to 1.5.

I noted in the script editor that when I manually scale in Y to .5 it says

scale -r 1 0.5 1 ;

My idea would be to run a command that says something like

scale -r 1 rand<<.5,1.5>> 1 ;

but of course this isn't the correct syntax. Could someone please give me a correct example? Thanks for your time.

Hi!

Example:

scale -y -a (rand(1,10));

Thank you! This sets me on the right path.
