  New to xpresso

  Posted by Olly Bea on August 6, 2009 at 8:26 am

  Hey all, I am new to xpresso, and I am sure what I am trying to achieve is simple I just don’t know how.

  I have 2 helixes and I want to work it so that when I change the height of the main helix the secondary helix matches it. I think I have worked out the first bit… I have dragged both helixes into the xpresso window and setup the object property ‘height’ in and out ports on each, but I am not sure which node I need to select to do what I am trying to achieve.

  Also, apart from Cinema 4d’s help (which ironically isn’t much help) is there anywhere that explains the different nodes in a simple way?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  You dont need any more nodes.
  If they are plugged in like the attached pic. You can animate them both with the A1 height control.
