I'm trying to use parameter collector to animate a cabbage. I have a single leaf setup with morphs and bends, and a parameter collection to control it all, including the rotation of the bend gizmos.
It works fine on the one leaf.
But i need 12 leaves, all independently controllable, not instanced.
When I duplicate the parameter collection, all it does it control the original leaf.
Shouldn't there be a way to retarget the duplicate parameter collection so it can control a duplicate of the leaf?
I've tried every method I can come up with , including making new scenes, renaming and re-merging the leaf with a renamed collection... Nothing works.
This is the first time I've used the parameter collector, but I've got a pretty firm grasp of the functions after hours trying to find a way to make it do what I need. What exactly is the point of being able to duplicate a parameter collection if the duplicate cannot be used on another object? infuriating.
