Outputs
Here you will receive an array collection with all properties of the distribution. The individual components can also be found in the Output Op.
Outputs
Here you receive the calculated object. Under this port there are often other outputs, which can be used to output e.g. the geometry, the matrix or a Parent object.
The most important outputs are:
- Matrix: The matrices of the calculated distribution points will be output successively. If this input is linked with a Matrix Op and an object is also connected there, this geometry will automatically be cloned onto the distribution points.
- Color: Numerous distributions will automatically produce color gradients that can be queried and applied to the geometry, e.g., using a Color Op Node.
- Index: Each distribution point is assigned a unique number, whereby the count will start at 0 for the first distribution point.
- Ratio: This output defines the position of each matrix within the distribution as a value between 0.0 and 1.0. Imagine, for example, a linear distribution and the Ratio value for the first matrix is 0.0, and the last is 1.0. The matrices along the line will be assigned intermediate values according to their position. Since 2D and 3D distributions exist, the data type for Ratio can differ from case to case. For a grid you will, for example, receive a vector for which the individual components each define the position of each matrix within the distribution cube with values between 0.0 and 1.0 for each direction.
