Note
When you add the Random effector to the Object Manager, it is also added to the Effectors
area of the Cloner object. To verify this, select the Cloner in the Object Manager and then
choose the Effectors button; the Effectors area is displayed. In this area, you will notice
that the Random effector is added.
2. Make sure Random is selected in the Object Manager. In the Attribute Manager, choose
the Parameter button; the Parameter area is displayed. In this area, expand the Trans-
form area if it is not already expanded and make sure the Position check box is selected.
Also, select the Rotation check box in the Transform area.
The Position check box is used to define whether Random effector will affect the position
of cloners. The Rotation check box is used to define whether Random effector will af-
fect the rotation of cloners.
3. In the Color area, select the User Defined option from the Color Mode drop-down list,
as shown in Figure 12-11.
The User Defined option in the Color Mode drop-down list is used to set the color of the
clones manually.

4. In the Color option, enter 170 in the G spinner and 20 in the B spinner; the color of the
Random effector changes in the Perspective viewport.
Next, you will add the Formula effector to the scene. The Formula effector is used to cre-
ate complex formulae.
