I have a fairly simple Geometry nodes tree for adding wings to a butterfly mesh object.

enter image description here

The wings are added by instancing two different mesh objects on two points:

enter image description here

I can change the angle of the wings by changing a value input:

SS2

In a separate object, I am instancing copies of the butterfly object (with the wings Geometry nodes) on a point cloud:

SS3

enter image description here

I would like to know if there is any way that I can create a DIFFERENT Random Value for the Wing Angle in each instance of the butterfly object.

Something similar to the Random output of the Object Info/Particle Info nodes when working with material nodes, which produces a different random value between 0 and 1 for each object/particle. I would like to generate a different random value for each instance of the butterfly (and use this random value to drive the 'Wing Angle').

  • really? you close a question with "maybe related"...? wow... – Chris Jul 16 '23 at 09:24
  • @Chris Yes, at first I thought it might be related, and when I looked into it more, I came to the conclusion that it is definitely the same question. Or was I mistaken? Do you disagree? ...I'm not entirely infallible either. – quellenform Jul 16 '23 at 13:11

    Thanks both. Having read the linked question I agree that it speaks to the same issue I am having. My situation is slightly different as my original 'instance' is not truly a procedurally-generated object, but the information has cleared things up for me enough that I should be able to figure things out from here. Cheers! – SlickRed Jul 16 '23 at 13:16
  • @SlickRed I'm glad the other answer was able to help you out! Sorry that I closed the question so quickly. – quellenform Jul 16 '23 at 13:22
  • @quellenform: yes, i agree that it is the same question. I was just shocked about your formulation. You wrote "maybe" - with this i would expect that you don't close the question - only if you are sure. That's all. – Chris Jul 16 '23 at 14:45
