Live Effect Parameter Randomization

It is often desirable to have the same live effect applied to a number of objects but with different parameters. For example, you might want to apply an AG Offset to many objects with different distance values:

Different AG Offsets Example

Unfortunately, modifying each object one by one is time-consuming and tedious. However, using Randomino, you can instantly assign a random value across multiple objects to many different parameters from a number of common live effects, both native and from Astute Graphics:

• Add Points: Seed

• AG Block Shadow: Position

• AG Offset: Distance

• Color Randomizer: Hue Seed, Saturation Seed, Lightness Seed, Filter Seed

• Dashify: Seed

• Drop Shadow: Blur, Opacity, Position

• Extend Path: Seed

• Feather: Radius

• InkFlow: Size

• Inner Glow: Blur, Opacity

• Make Shape: Seed

• Opacity Randomizer: Variation Seed, Filter Seed

• Outer Glow: Blur, Opacity

• Path Removal: Seed

• Point Removal: Seed

• Phantasm: Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Hue (Colorizing), Saturation, Saturation (Colorizing), Lightness

• Pucker & Bloat: Strength 

• Roughen: Size (Absolute), Size (Relative), Detail

• Segment Removal: Seed

• Stroke Attributes: Seed

When the Randomino panel kind is set to Live Effects, one, and possibly two, additional popup menus will appear on the panel:

Randomino Panel Live Effect Callouts

1. Effect menu

Selects the live effect or family of effects to randomize.

2. Parameter menu

Appears if there are multiple parameters available within the live effect or family and allows you to select the parameter.

Tip: Artwork that does not have the specified live effect applied to it will not be changed; i.e., the live effect is not automatically added.
