ROVer — Random Object Variation

ROVer (Random Object Variation) is a Blender add-on that quickly generates transform variations for selected objects.

It allows artists to randomize location, rotation, and scale along specific axes and generate multiple variations automatically.

ROVer is designed to help break visual repetition and create more natural-looking scenes.

Features

Axis-Based Randomization

ROVer allows randomization along specific axes.

Randomize:

• Location X / Y / Z
• Rotation X / Y / Z
• Scale X / Y / Z

This provides precise control over how variations are applied.

Example:

Rotation Z = 360°
Scale = 0.8 – 1.2

---

Object Variation Generator

ROVer can generate multiple randomized copies of selected objects.

Example workflow:

Select 1 object
Generate Copies = 25
Apply random transforms

Result:

25 unique variations of the object

Example Use Case

Environment asset variation.

Input:
