hello,

if i use a classic isosurface box perturbed with pigment function like 
this : 

#declare block = isosurface {
  function { max((y*y-1),(x*x-1),(z*z-1)) - pigmentFn(x,y,z).gray*0.75 } 
  ...
  }

with : 
#declare pigmentFn =  function {
  pigment {
    cells
    color_map { [0 rgb 0][1 rgb 1] }
    scale 0.35
    }
  } 

this works well and give me a "perturbed cube". now i want to make and 
other cube with alwaway the same pattern but translated... but how to 
translate the pigment function to have different cube ?


thanks

don't care about my previous post :O

adding some things like translate rand(alea) in the pigment function 
work as i want.

  Another possibility, which I think few actually know, is to do something
like this:

#declare IsoFunc =
  function(x, y, z, a, b, c)
  { max((y*y-1),(x*x-1),(z*z-1)) - pigmentFn(x+a,y+b,z+c).gray*0.75 };

isosurface { function { IsoFunc(x, y, z, 1, 2, 3) } }

Thanks Warp. I was one of the many.

Yes and you can as well  scale the function output by multiplying x,y,and z 
(the bigger the multiplier, the smaller the scale)

Now for multiple random copies of the object

#declare nSeed = seed(400);
#macro IsoRand(Range,Scale)
   // Range and Scale are 3D vectors
   #local rgX = (random(nSeed)-random(nSeed))*Range.x;
   #local rgY = (random(nSeed)-random(nSeed))*Range.y;
   #local rgZ = (random(nSeed)-random(nSeed))*Range.z;
   isosurface {
     function {
       IsoFunc(x/Scale.x, y/Scale.y, z/Scale.z, rgX, rgY, rgZ)
     }
   }
#end

I've been doing something like this for a project of my own.
