In recreating a pepperoni pizza I need about 50 disks with each having a small amount of curl in each but I want the amount of curl to be random. I was wondering if the best way to achieve this with mograph.

Here are 2 methods.
Both are using random rotation to add directional variation, which allows you to use more subtle variation between clones.

Method 1 uses a displacer to create bumpiness. the texture space of the noise is set to texture…meaning each clone gets the same displacement.
The random rotation covers a lot of the repetition up.

method 2 uses the cloner in blend mode to blend between 2 deformed states.
Again this creates something that is fairly regular at first…so you want to add in the random rotation to break up the effect.

This is just a starting point, and you could also create a mash up of the 2 methods if you like.

Thank you for your quick response. It is quite early on the west coast.
