Is there a plug-in out there that will automatically move the position of the texture map on multiple objects? I have hundreds of items that all need the same tileable diffuse texture, but I would like to randomize its position on each object without having to do it manually. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kevin

BTW - I do not own Mograph or DiTools.

Here's a solution using XPresso. User Data are on the XPresso tag.

Drag your objects under the null and the expression will automatically randomize each texture. The objects must all be on the same hierarchy level.

If you don't want the randomization animated, set Frequency to zero on each axis.

The Tex Ref tag must be left on the master null, along with the XPresso tag.

Thanks, David! It looks as though that will work. You can't imagine how much time you have saved me.

Thanks again,

Kevin
