  Speed up slow down Clones animated with the rate value

  Posted by Sascha Koeth on June 3, 2021 at 12:29 pm

  Hi all!

  I wonder if there is a way to speed up or slow down clones that are animated with the rate value. To be more precise: If I animate clones along a spline by using the rate value, they behave like particles moving along a spline. If I now want to speed up there movement along the spline or slow it down, one might thing to just animate the rate value, but that doesn´t work as it not only speeds up (or slows down) the clones while simultaniously changing there starting point or relative position on the spline. Which leads to onwanted/uncontrolable movement on the spline.

  Now the questions again:

  – Is there a way to slowdown/speedup the movement of rate animated clones?

  – If not, what is the easiest setup to get speed controlable clone movement along a spline that does not need handanimated/keyframed clone offset but rather works like particles in an endless but speed controlable flow of clones?

  Thanks!
