n theTips&Tricks episode we looked at using RailClone to create parametric shelves. In this tutorial we'll continue to use RailClone to populate these shelves with randomised books. There are many possible approaches for creating the distribution path for the books, but this tutorial will focus on using a one dimensional array with splines positioned along the rear of each shelf. This is ideal where the shelving is of unequal heights. Alternatively if the shelves are evenly spaced it is possible to use the same technique in a 2D array to automatically create all the shelving based on simple height and width dimensions. Please see the scene files for examples of both techniques.

By completing this tutorial you will be able to:

Randomise geometry and control the probability of a segment being selected.

Randomise materials.

Adjust alignment and rotation,translation and scale using the transform operator

Use conditional operators to test distance along a spline segment.

Nest generators.
