  • Change Color of Cloned Spotlights

    Posted by Joe Bodego on June 26, 2016 at 10:38 pm

    Hello all, i created a spotlight and cloned it so now i have 6 lights, no problem, i want each light to have a specific color so i headed for the “Randon” Effector and turned color mode on.. However the issue is the colors are random alright but i cant change each color to what i really want. Is there a way to do this without accepting the random colors?

    You can put a material on the cloned light with a Mograph Multishader in the Transparency channel – set the Multishader to Index Ratio and use as many colours in there as you have lights

    Thank you very much, one more question if you dont mind, how can i rotate each light individually?

    It would be possible with xpresso using the clone index or possibly plain effectors with clone selections but with only 6 lights it might be easier to just have 6 lights… Is there a reason you want them to be clones

    will all the lights be targeting the logo? (centered on it?)

    The logo is a circle with a map in the middle and the company name on the circle, i want to stimulate light rays rotating on the logo
