 Variations allow you to randomly vary the color of a material slightly on different parts of a tree. For example, you create one leaf material, but you use variations to alter the color slightly, making it look like there are multiple kinds of leaves on the tree. Variations are very helpful when making [[atclusters|cluster models]] intended for export material and used on another tree. Variations allow you to randomly vary the color of a material slightly on different parts of a tree.
