Random Modifier

The Random modifier generates a random floating-point value within the range defined by the Minimum and Maximum values. If the Minimum channel is greater than the Maximum channel, Modo reverses the channel values: the Maximum channel becomes the Minimum; the Minimum becomes the Maximum.

Seed: Modo uses this to initialize the random number generator. A changing seed value changes the random value.

Note: Unless you clear the Use Time As Seed checkbox, Modo ignores the Seed channel.

Use Time as Seed: Specifies whether the scene time is used to seed the random number generator. If you select this, Modo generates a random number whenever the scene time changes. If this is clear, Modo uses the Seed channel to generate the random number.

Minimum: Determines the minimum value generated.

Maximum: Determines the maximum value generated.

Output: This passes the results of the randomly generated values.
