View Full Version : texture multiple object slightly different?

Probably a n00b question, but I can't figure out how to texture hundreds of wooden poles slightly different for a more natural look. Do I have to assign every object with a different shader or is there something like the colorchanger plugin that helps to randomise my texture? Do I need Xpresso for this (if so I'm doomed :eek:)

Thanks!

it's about displacement, but i think it can also be applied to diffuse channel or whatever you wish.

I will george!
Still fiddling to find the best settings, but it seems like a nice solution.
