Random POP: how to use only 2 axes?

POPs
1

I am playing around with POPS, using this tutorial as a base: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_y2he5-_Q4

For my project, I want the random POP to pruduce direction vectors (N) in only two directions: X and Y. My project is very low resolution and has no real capability of showing 3D. Therefore, I want to use the POP functionality, but keep the Z factor of each vector at 0. Is that possible at all? Or is there a clever work around?

Hello @pyromancer

You can use a Random POP with Type set to Direction, Random Size set to 2, and Cone Angle set to 360°. This will generate a random normalized direction in the X and Y components. Just make sure the Z component is forced to zero either before or after the Random POP.
