Summary

QuantumTransform plugin for Rhino4

 

Random transformations

This plugin exposes tweaked versions of Move, Scale and Rotate that allow you to transform a bunch of objects with different settings simultaneously.

The transformation is random within the specified bounds.

 

Available commands:

• _QuantumJump (Random translation)
• _QuantumSwirl (Random rotation)
• _QuantumBloat1D (Random scaling in one direction)
• _QuantumBloat2D (Random scaling in two directions)
• _QuantumBloat3D (Random scaling in three directions)
• _QuantumChaos (All of the above)

 

Unlike the Rhino3 version of this plugin (which was never released officially) this one has a purely command line interface, making it scriptable.

Many of the commands implements one or more of these settings:

 

• Randomize
• (Calculate new random seed values for individual objects. In case you're not happy with the current distribution)
• AllowNegative
• (If enabled the random range is {-D to +D} rather than {0.0 to +D}. D is defined by your mouse-pointer)
• Local
• (If enabled each objects is transformed around its own center rather than a global base point for all objects)
• Linked
• (If enabled separate transformation along each axis direction share the same random value)
• NumericInput
• (Allows you to specify exactly what the random range is along all directions)
