Failure Rate is a scatter modifier, not a primary sample generator. Instead of creating new samples, it removes a percentage of the samples that were already generated earlier in the scatter stack.

​
Setting

  • Value is the percentage of samples to remove.

​
Best position in the stack

Failure Rate works best after a generator such as:

​
When to use Failure Rate

Failure Rate is best when you want:
  • to break up a distribution without changing the generator itself;
  • to make a grid feel less perfect;
  • to reduce density while keeping the overall pattern.

​
Notes

  • Because it removes existing samples, it makes the most sense near the end of the scatter stack.
  • If used alone, it has no useful effect because there are no earlier samples to remove.
