I'd love to see a new feature for Moray, probably in the duplication
feild.

Let's say I want to make a row of icicles off the edge of a roof. I have
my icicle object, and I copy it 10 times, with a x translation of 5
units.

But this just looks silly. No icicles are this neat. It would be nice to
translate them all 5 units, +/- 2 units, to get clumps, and gaps. Also,
scaling them at 1x, +/- 0.5 ould provide a nice variation in lengths.

As is, this can be done manually, which is fine for 10 icicles. But if I
wanted to make 100 icicles, then things become ackward.

Perhaps a plugin, to emulat the duplicate feature could be used, but I
don;t know how hard it would be...
