The random function returns some value between 0 and 1. You're using $TZ(position in Z) in there which steadily increases - so despite the random call, you're still weighting it with a steadily increasing value.
Of course it steadily descreases after zero, the abs() makes it positive again. If your goal is to make it pseudo-random, try losing the $TZ altogether.
Cheers,
J.C.

Oi Andz, tudo blz?
Gostei muito dos seus trampos.
Por acaso o que vc está desenvolvendo é baseado no famoso tutorial de procedural cities?
Esse é meu primeiro vôo no houdini. Ainda estou bem perdidão, principalmente na parte de expressões e synthax mas já baixei um monte de tutorial pra evoluir.
Trabalho com motion graphics e to procurando uma forma de fazer animações mais avançadas.
Sabe se aqui no Brazil tem algum curso decente de houdini?
Podemos trocar umas figurinhas quando quiser, blz?

Hum… just to keep this in english, here is the translation.
Hi Homero,
That thread is from an old experiment I was doing, still before the procedural city tutorials came out.
I'm a Houdini enthusiast but unfortunately I don't use it commercially. I should be giving it a try in production since I've been doing games for these last 3 years.
As for training, here in Brazil? :roll: I've never met a single Houdini user down here. I've herd of someone using it in São Paulo, but he wasn't even brazilian
Hi Andz
Are you developing something based on that famous procedural city tutorial?
This is my first test with Houdini and I'm still lost. Specially in the expressions and syntax, but I'm going thru a lot of tutorials to evolve.
I work with motion graphics and am looking into a way of doing more advanced animations. Do you know of any decent Houdini course here in Brazil?
