Randomly Change UV on Instances

I see the Random Color Texture node which has an output of texture (dark green) and the LW native Random Scalar which has number output (light green).

On a texture image the UV Translate is a light green (number) I want to use the RandomColor Texture that changes each INSTANCE of an object but want to plug that into the NUMBER values. Is there a way to do this with other nodes? Gradient or other tool?

If I plug the Octane RandomColor Texture into the Power of a texture node I get each instance to be a different value/brightness of the texture, which is nice...but want to change the UV position slightly so everything doesn't look the same.

Thoughts?

Hi,

I'm afraid that this is not possible in Octane currently, or at least I can't figure how to modify the instances UVs.

Thanks,

Hi,

You could make 3 different uvs on your objects
and use this 3 uvs on your texture nodes to have
a bit of a randomness (it will be limited to 3 uvs
but it will always be better than having only one
on every instance)

Thats an interesting idea. I'll look into that setup. Thanks for the idea!
