  xpresso and the timeline

  Posted by Matt Collett on April 13, 2009 at 6:13 pm

  Is there a simple way of using xpresso to tell a driven object to imitate a driver object but with a delay.

  so for example if I have a null object (driver) which has a keyframe at the start and a keyframe at frame 20 with a rotation value of 90 degress.

  how can I tell the driven object to do the same rotation but 10 frames later, from frames 10 – 30 rather then 0 – 20.

  thanks in advance, appreciate this is quite probably more complicated than its sounds, so alternatively any pointers to relevant tutorials or resources would be much appreciated.

  I have only been able to find either very basic tutorials (how to add an expression tag) or tutorials which are way beyond my current knowledge.

  many thanks

  matt

  put a Memory Node in between the passed values. The help has a good description of the History Depth and History Level settings in the Memory node – they’re what’s important to get what you need.
