I'm trying to find a tutorial series I went through a couple of years ago– in one of the videos, the instructor created a random rock on each frame of an animation (as I recall), and each was automatically written out to disk. So he was able to spit out 50 random rocks in one fell swoop.

I can't remember if it was on sidefx.com or lynda.com or what. I've looked in both places, and they have either been removed, or were never there in the first place.

Does anybody know what I'm talking about, and know where I might find it?

Thanks!
Bryan

I guess you are referring the M03 from H12 first steps series by Ari Danesh [vimeo.com].

Sounds like a job for PDG!

Hey, I did a write-up on a very similar procedure, I think it might be of help.
