  Cloner object – Material

  Posted by Andy Beck on October 14, 2009 at 4:04 pm

  I created a grid array of cubes using the mograph cloner object and want to give each cube a different material. I have a picture I want to be displayed over all the cubes as one big picture like this –

  is it possible seen as its only really one cube?

  Yes, it’s possible by way of the MoGraph multi-shader. Load up your images in the multi-shader, set the method to index ratio, and apply to the cloner.

  Or if you want random placement, leave the multishader’s mode on brightness and apply a random effector to the cloner, set to affect only color.

  Thanks I’ll give it a go! For a minute I thought I was going to have to create every cube seperatley!

  Tried the shader as a test with a 3×3 grid and split my image into 9 seperate images. Loaded all 9 into the shader but it seems to apply just 3 of the images to 1 to each row? Set it to index ratio like suggested. Getting closer but stuck now!
