Base generator
Base generators represent Projector scene objects in the generation hierarchy. They also store information that impacts the projections.
You add a Base generator the same way you add any other generator. Base generators must be direct children of the Tree generator.
Learn how to Set up a Projector.
Generation
Refer to Generation properties.
Random Seeds
Randomize the Base generator to change the distribution of rays cast from the Projector.
Refer to Random seeds properties.
Orientation
Set the baseline orientation for children of the Base generator.
