Description

 

There’s already a lot of PRS randomizer tool available in maxscript, but what I found missing the most was a real time visualization of the randomized transformations applied. Video available in the full post. 

Fast Positioning Tool add this interactivity : it has an "operate" state during which you choose the amount of randomization you want visually, instead of generating a new seed and waiting for a good result to show up. Once you quit this state, the new transformations are applied (to avoid deleting the undo history).

It also adds two others tools : some kind of a Z-drop, and attraction/repulsion from a center node.

Great tool! Thank you.
I wanted to assign keyboard shortcut but could not find it in the commands list. Could you help me?

I can rewrite a macro-style version. This will do the trick. I'll give it to you next week.
