A WIP to be finished for once perhaps? ;)

This is my scene that seemes to become something of a inner yard to a
castle. Sadly for the catapult people that cant get out of the gate
though... ;)

Umm, yes, this is what came after the "door in a wall" posted below.

Will add a few more walls in the back and do something with the tower...
etc, etc.. and try to make that straw roof not to look so repetitive...! :/

Ok, so do you feel the wings of history echoing? ;)

Enjoy!

Nice idea. But it should be a little more realistic. You can randomize
stones, for example random little translation from normal position, and
random little rotation around Y axis (just few degrees, for example -5
degree, +5 degree). I think that textures are ok but castle looks to much
"ideal" and thats why it is not so much realistic.
But it's nice picture.

Would adding the rand*rotation at the original declared single stone rotate
each stone randomly. Or would every single stone be "equally" randomly
rotated?

Thanks for the tip!

Gotta check if that can be done to the hay roof as well! :)

	If the original is declared using "#declare", then it would rotate
all stones equally. If it is declared using a macro, then each would
be rotated individually...

Ouch... that is confirmed. :/

It's a simple basic declaration of course.
Im so tired of not being best in the worlds at sdl...

And the word "macro" scares me.

No need for that! It's really not too hard. Try this:

---%<---

/* We need a random seed if we want to use rand() */
#declare Seed = seed(54890);

#declare Stone = /* Your stone object here */

#macro Rotated_Stone()
	/* Create a vector with random components (within 0 and 1) */
	#local Random_Vector = <rand(Seed),rand(Seed),rand(Seed)>;

	/*
	Until now, the random vector has components from 0..1,
	we need them to go from -1 to 1. We subtract 0.5 (then
	it goes from -0.5 to 0.5 and double it, and multiply it
	by the maximum amount of rotation we want, here 10
	degrees.
	*/
	#local Random_Degrees = (Random_Vector - 0.5)*2*10;

	object {
		Stone
		rotate Random_Degrees
	}
#end

/*
Now everywhere you've used object { Stone } before just use
object { Rotated_Stone() }
*/


--->%---

Should work, although I haven't tested it :)

Personally, I find it easier to use RRand(min,max,R) from the rand.inc

example:
#declare R=seed(1010);

object {.....
  rotate RRand(-1,1,R)*y
  ....
}

Hm, looks good, didn't know it :)

The degrees are missing, but in this case one could just use

	rotate RRand(-10,10,R)*y
