Hi all, I’m new to Blender and forgive me my maybe trivial question.
I want to create an array of spheres as seen on the left, but they should also vary on the X-axis according to the input pattern. Probably I’m missing something stupid…
Would be great, if somebody could help me.


something like this?
I think in your version it should work, but since you only have one value (distance) instead of 3 (eg. xyz or rgb), you really can’t displace in more directions. Use the color rather than the distance and vectormath instead of just regular math node :)
edit:
the voronoi texture doesn’t really seem to have more components to it than one. swapped to noise and now the spheres get translated to every direction
Thanks for your answer. I actually want only to displace the objects on the z-axis, but every single one depending on the pattern and not only the complete rows. I want to achieve something like this:
round (snap) to certain increments?
Cool thank you so much
I love playing around with it!
