Quick MoGraph Question

[Aurety]

Hi Lennart,
Maybe I don't have really understand your needs but you have just to clone the clones, no ?

1 - Place a light, a circular spline... Clone the light with a cloner, choose object mode and put the spline in the field.
2 - Select the cloner, with the alt-key, add another cloner and voilà... Add a step effector for the scaling needs.

Sorry if my dumb answer is non sense for your needs, haha ! :-)

Hi there, thanks. Not really what I need....
With the first Cloner I use a Circle Spline. By clone-scaling I get several splines that are
bigger and bigger. I'd like to treat these as a single spline (the same as making it editable).

I then need to clone lights on this "pseudo" multispline.
If I make the circle cloner editable it works but I lose the options to animated them....

So basically I don't clone clones, I'd like to place clones on other clones......


Cheers
Lennart

Perhaps you could clone the lights onto your circle spline and then clone that cloner?

[tcastudios]

I opted for the moment to make the Cloner with the spline editable so I can spread the lights
even. Would be nice to find a solution if there any later.

Thanks
Lennart

Why don't you want to make it editable then?

[tcastudios]

So I can edit/animate/find a good look by working with the step effector.

Cheers

Is this a job for SplineConnector?

If you use a clone a spline Cinema does not see them as a single object - if you put the cloner inside a SplineConnector they behave as if they are a single spline (so you can use them as an object to place cloned objects along)

[tcastudios]

AH! Got that one.

Thanks
Lennart
