Random UV offset shader node

[Gpix]

Hi everyone,

I know that that topic had already discussed from time to time.
I wanted to ask, if there is any solution on the horizon to make it more convenient for example with a neat special node for the beloved node editor.

Let me explain a little further if it is not clear what I mean:

If I have multiple same objects e.g. floor wood planks with a wood image texture and I would like to offset for each object the texture slightly to give it more diversity, is there an other way to do it besides the OSL scripts I found?
I also know that with the random color node there is a possibility to give it some color varations to different cloner objects.

But with the C4D shaders (I believe the "Variation shader" in the UV-Coordinatesvariation tab?) , there is the possibility to give a certain polygon number per object after which the texture gets offset slighty. Unfortunately this shader isn't working in an octane slot.

I mean, the scripts work (if it not crashes the whole system - which happens unfortunately a lot with these scripts) as long as it is a object within a cloner, but I find the solution not really intuitive.
But what if I have e.g. a tree with a lot of polygon leaves? I
haven't found a way yet to offset the texture on each leave a little. (for example, a low-poly leave has 6 polys. Every 7th poly the uv gets moved randomly by the x or y-coordinate.)

Or am I completely unknowing that there is a solution to that problem already that is integrated within the node editor?

Thank you in advance!

Best regards

Hi,
in Standalone this can be done via Lua Scripted Graph, not available via plugin:

But you can prepare your mesh in Standalone, save as orbx, and import back in c4doctane via OrbxLoader object:
