More Randomness
In the previous ramble about random colour, Leah asked
I’ve been wondering, is there any way to use effectors to apply a random color from a subset of colors (such as a range or gradient)?
So here is one method of achieving that. I’ve used the multishader to create a subset of colours.
Multishader
Then the random effector to randomise those colours.
Not sure if it is possible from a gradient, but if anyone has an idea for that then please post a comment.
Well Rick Barrett from Maxon came up with the solution here.
For a gradient, just put the MoGraph Color Shader in a Colorizer shader.
Nice and simple too. Thanks Rick.
Result using Multishader
i get a texture error with the multi shader. what’s up with that?
If it’s a new scene, with a new material. Then you apply the Multishader to say, the color channel.
Do you get a texture error then?
I just tried with a fresh scene and it was ok for me.
For a gradient, just put the MoGraph Color Shader in a Colorizer shader.
Of course!
How simple, thanks Rick.
hi, nice blog. Too bad just a little bit topic there.
i’m very interested with your logo (hypa tv logo). Is that using GI ? how to create a neon box like that? with diferent color? i tried to use GI and light inside the box but the result is not good enough as yours. Can you explain the making of hypa logo as the next topic in this blog?
Thanks

Yes the HYPA logo does use GI. Maybe I’ll do a tutorial on something like that in the future.
If you want to see it animated then check out the showreel intro.
Sweet…I love pretty much everything I’ve seen. Wish i could make it..
Awesome! Thanks for the simple and powerful solutions, Tim and Rick.
Rha ! Thanks God ! Thanks Hypa !
Looks like this technique doesn’t work with lights…
Any idea how to make that work?
Thanks
Alex
Sure is.. check out this post for one method

Hi Señor Tim,
I’m trying since this morning to apply this technique (randomness color) to a mograph text object,
but it seems impossible ! Can’t I apply this randomness to each letter of a mograph text object ?
Same thing for a gradient, I can’t !
Do you have any clues ?
Thanks, Obi10
