[pierolr]

Hi, I have an FBX file and I want to distribute it in a scene with variations of scale, rotation and position, but the modifiers only let me do it with images. how can I do it? thanks

Hi Pierolr

And welcome to the Smode Forum.

You have 3 approach to perform such things in Smode

You can share instance of your mesh and customize each instance placement like this:

Create new instance by control+drag shared element.

Then modify your instance placement type from "Position Orientation" into "Position Orientation and Size, then you can change the size of your instance.

The second approach is to use a repeat modifier allowing you to directly instanciate your mesh multiple time and applying placement modification for each instance repeatedly.

For the third approach, you can also Instanciate your mesh on each vertex of another mesh (like a box or a particle system)

And play with Point Scale Function, depending of an vertex attribute like age depth...

Hopping this can help.

The best

Hello, thank you very much for replying to me, this is the form that I need, but as I change the box by the humanoid.fbx in the Instantiate ?, I have tried but can not.

thank you.

You just have to drag and drop you Fbx file or control drag shared reference of your fbx over the instantiate node, then delete the box node.

Hopping this will help

is this in smode studio or Synth? I have Synth, but I Can't replace the primitive or the fbx or shared reference.
