Matrix Scatter and Object Bias

[smckenzie]

Is there a way to bias which objects are scattered more than others when using Matrix scatter with Redshift?!!

Hi smckenzie,

The Matrix Scatter has no direct option for that. However, it is easy to split it up.
Please have a look at the file below.

The idea is that the Master Matrix sets the overall "clones". From there, other Matrix Objects take that information, and we make all other in-visible via a simple formula. Separation naturally allows for a lot of control.
I used the formula mod(ID;10)=3 to give only a clone out when the ID of a clone divided by ten provides the reminder of three.
You want double the amount, then mod(ID;10)=3 + mod(ID;10)=4 for example.
Each of these Matrix/RS Object tags can hold several objects. So the variety is easily changed.

Cheers

A bit more involved than I was hoping for but pretty cool though. Thanks again!

Thank you very much, smckenzie, for the reply.

Yes, it is a little bit more work, but also has way more control

If you want to double the amount of one clone, perhaps create a copy (in the Object Manager) and populate the list to get a different ratio among the results.

There is always the option to submit this as an idea.

I think that should be an option to dial in percentages of distribution.
