How to control the percentage of clones for each object?

[Ricardo 4D]

Hi,
Is it possible to control how the objects are distributed in a way that you can dose them?
Let's suppose you have a cone and a sphere under the cloner, but I want more spheres than cones.

Cheers!

Hi Ricardo,

The simplest way is to have copies of the clones under the Cloner. So if you like a ratio of 2:3, then two of one object and three of another.

Or have a setup like the one below:
Cloner set to Sort
Plain Effector set to modify Clones.
The Field will allow us to set the distribution, like with the Random Field.
The values given from the random for each clone position will determine which child object will be used as a clone.

CV4_2024_drs_24_MGrd_01.c4d

A direct percentage value for each clone is not natively given.

All the best

Hi @Dr-Sassi

Thank you for providing the information. I believe there's an opportunity for significant improvement here. The abundance of copies and clones appears to create unnecessary clutter. Corona Scatter, on the other hand, boasts a well-organized setup. Additionally, relying on a Random Field seems somewhat arbitrary and lacks sufficient control. This is an indispensable feature, in my humble opinion.

Shall we submit a request for consideration?

Thanks
