# Clustering

## Overview

The Clustering rollout allows grouping elements together. Insanely useful for mimicking phenomena found in the real world, like large patches of dried grass on lawns or weeds clumping. There are three different types of clustering algorithms.

## Procedural

**Size** - Specifies the size of the clusters.\
**Fuzz** - Determines the crimping of the cluster shapes.\
**Blur** - Controls the diffusion of the cluster edges.\
**Noise** - Specifies the factor of the introduced random elements.

## Shape

**Shape** - Defines a shape to be used for clustering.\
**Size** - Specifies the size of clusters.\
**Rotation** - Determines the range of random rotation performed by the defined shape.\
**Scale** - Determines the range of random scaling applied to the defined shape.\
**Blur** - Controls the diffusion of the cluster edges.\
**Noise** - Specifies the factor of the introduced random elements.

## Map

**Filename** - Defines the path to an image to be used for clustering.\
**Mapping Type** - Allows choosing between *Simple* and *Individual UV* mapping.\
**Mapping** - Provides simple mapping as well as user-friendly editing.\
**UV Channel** - Determines the UV channel for evaluation.\
**Blur** - Controls the diffusion of the cluster edges. In Map type case, it refers to gradient values treatment.\
**Noise** - Specifies the factor of the introduced random elements.<br>

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.rhinonature.com/manual/distribution/clustering.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
