What I'm trying to achieve in Solaris is
Using instancer, I'd like to scatter two or three different groups of species, where each group comes from USD file and has variants, and have those groups "cluster" together but still be randomly spawn. Thus cluster one would get 10 variants of ferns and cluster 2 would get all of the variants the second spieces.
I went through all the tutorials I could find and everybody does it the same way using Attribute adjuster, applying noise to index attribute and then ramping or choking it and passing that to instacer and supply a collection where each member of collection would go to that clamped index thus creating cluster.
It's all good but they only cluster using 2 or three 3 distincs spieces. I would like to cluster using 2 or 3 different Groups of speceices.
Attached screenshot shows my approach, two input spieces with variants, obviously the setup does not work.
Some magic is needed to force grouped variants per index and still randompy picking a distinct variant every time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
