How to Randomize Object Transformations in Blender

Ever notice how repetitive your 3D scenes can look when all your objects are neatly copied and pasted? It quickly takes away the realism and visual appeal. Good news—there’s an easy way to inject some natural randomness into your creations! Today, we’ll cover a simple but powerful Blender trick: Randomizing Object Transformations.

Procedure to randomize object transformations in blender

Step 1: Select Your Objects

First, select all the objects you want to randomize. You can click and drag to select multiple items or hold down the Shift key and click each individually.

Step 2: Use the Randomize Transform Tool

With your objects selected, press the F3 key or your shortcut to bring up Blender’s search menu. Type in “Randomize Transform” and select it.

Step 3: Adjust for Perfect Chaos

A menu will appear with sliders for:

  • Location: Randomly reposition your objects.
  • Rotation: Give each object a unique orientation.
  • Scale: Vary the sizes for visual interest.

Play with these sliders until you’re satisfied with the variety and realism of your scene. It’s simple, quick, and highly effective!

Experiment and Engage!

Why not take a moment to experiment? Try randomizing different object groups or play with subtle vs. dramatic randomness. Did you find other creative ways to use this feature?
