Transform

In the distribution of vegetation at nature, most of cases the trees have different orientations and sizes. With this rollout we can apply this varations to the elements.

Translation

When are not zero, this values define a random translation of tree over its original position. The translation comes defined as a percent over the width tree.

Note: This translation is applied after placing the tree over its position (as indicated in distribution map), so it's possible if we apply a high random translation the tree will place out of area spline. Then, we must lower the translation value or modify the area spline until trees are placed on a good position. We sorry this annoyance, but we have implemented of this way to maintain a high speed of placing trees.

Rotation

It apply a random rotation over the Z axis. The degree of rotation ranges from Min to Max values specified (from 0 to 359 degrees).

Scale

This parameters apply a random scale for each tree. It's possible to define independent ranges for width and height, and to lock the aspect ratio with the 'Lock aspecto ratio' checkbox. With this option enabled, height values are ignored.
