I only discovered today that I don’t need to pass a seed to Random node because nodes like Random (FromTo)
exist that can emit different values for each iteration when placed in a loop. The current Random node that shows up in node browser’s standard set of nodes expects a seed value to be provided, and so it won’t work the way the user expects it to when no seed is passed.
This trips up new users too.
Proposal: Move Random (Math)
to Advanced category and put Random (FromTo)
node in standard set. With the latter, a (new) user doesn’t have to worry about what a seed is and what range is.
