Instanced geometry element node
This node is used to connect one geometry object to the Instanced geometry node.
Pick Object
Click this button, then click to select an object in the viewport.
[None]
Displays the name of the picked object.
Count rate %
Specifies the count rate in percent for this object.
Path Pos - Min %
Path Pos - Max %
If the Path position distributor node is used to generate path lines for this builder mesh, then you can set these values to control the generation of this object. If the position of the path line falls within this range, then the object will be generated, otherwise not.
Use hierarchy
All objects from the hierarchy of a selected object are used.
Note:
1. If the hierarchy of objects is used (Use hierarchy), it is possible to use animation of position/rotation/scale for child objects. This animation is not available for a parent object.
2. If Combine meshes is off, the parameter Current time from the Instanced geometry node does not allow the user to offset in time the internal animation of an object. It is only possible to offset animation of position/rotation/scale for child objects of the hierarchy. If you want to use Current time fully, turn on the Combine meshes!
