Suggestion : Random component selection #88

Closed Memesphere closed 2 years ago

Memesphere commented 3 years ago

For multi-component selection a face is mapped to one component with the same name as the face material. To create more variation in the resulting branching system it would useful to map faces to a component selected randomly from a collection. The collection could carry the same name as the face material.

Thanks Memesphere for the suggestion. This is actually interesting, and it may lead also to other possible implementations of more possible strategies. It's something that I will try in the future. Before that, you may consider using the Random Material operator that randomize the Materials. It's not seamless but still can make the trick for a single iteration. It's more complex for multiple iterations.

@Memesphere I'm currently working on that feature, I will update you once it's ready. Thanks again for your suggestion :-)

Looking forward to it.

hi @Memesphere it's finally online :-) https://github.com/alessandro-zomparelli/tissue/tree/b290-dev

There are now three different options for the Tessellation, the classic one with the selected object as a component, plus one based on the Active Collection, and one that uses the Materials names (former Multi-Components): image

More options in the Tissue properties panel, under Object Data: image

Let me know your thoughts!
