I’ve a sphere with a displacer deformer on it where am i am using noise to drive displacement. This sphere is then cloned on a circle with a cloner.

Right now the same deformed sphere is cloned but I want each clone to have some variation in the displacement.

How do I do this?

Hi zulu85,

Please have a look here:

Or in short: set the Noise to World.

All the best

Thanks Dr. Sassi for your promt response. Setting world space for noise worked perfected.

How would I achieve this if I was using a taper deformer instead of deformer? Is there a general approach to this problem?

Zulu85,

The Taper Deformer on a clone, but for each clone a different “strength” of the Taper?

Cheers

Here is the Taper version of it, zulu85:

Project file

• Note that I have set the Random Effector to Min/Max 0-100%, and the Modify Clones to 100%.

• Inside of the Cloner, the [Cloner is set Blend.

• The two child-objects under the Cloner deliver the ‘bandwidth’ for the Blend.

All the best
