Try this and see if it's what you need:


#declare S = seed(0);
difference {
box {<-10,-10,-10>,<10,12,10>
        pigment { rgb <0.8,0.8,0.8>}
        translate <0,0,0>
        rotate <0*rand(S), 0*rand(S), 0*rand(S)>
        }
#declare Index = 1;
#while(Index <= 300)
#declare graus = 1*rand(S);             // random farbe
#declare bocks = box {<1,1,1> .1
        pigment {rgb<1,0.7,0>}
        translate <10*rand(S),3,-0.0*rand(S)>
        scale <0.4*rand(S)-1,4*rand(S),0.4*rand(S)>
        rotate <0*rand(S), 90*rand(S)-45, 90*rand(S)>
        };
    object {bocks rotate <0,90,0> translate <0,5,0> }
#declare Index = Index + 1;
#end
}

Hope this helps.
