Hi andras, I have added this to the wishlist here: http://moi3d.com/wiki/Wishlist

Probably instead of a random array though it would be a kind of "perturb" function where you would first do a regular array to create everything, and then run the Perturb command to jiggle things around from their current positions.

That way it would work on things created from any of the array variants, like ArrayGrid, ArrayCurve, ArrayDir, or ArrayCircular.

Yeah currently this tends to be done within a rendering program rather than something that you would want to do with MoI, because a rendering program is able to make all the duplicated objects be a kind of special cloned copy of a master instance definition which can save a lot of memory.
