Houdini 20.5 Nodes VOP nodes

Gaussian Random UV VOP node

Generates a random number fitting a Gaussian distribution.

Since 12.5

This operator generates a random number fitting a Gaussian distribution. The random values will be unbounded (i.e. it’s possible to get very large positive or negative values), but most values will be close to 0. The Sigma parameter controls the shape of the Gaussian distribution.

The input u and v parameters are used to feed a Box-Mullter transform to generate the Gaussian distribution. The input values should be random numbers in the range [0,1]. If the input values are highly-correlated, the output values will also be correlated.

Note

This VOP is provided for advanced users, likely, you're looking for the Gaussian Random VOP.
