  problems changing the timing of clones using a shader.

  Posted by Chad Demoss on September 21, 2018 at 8:27 pm

  So I have no problem using a random/shader with a gradient and scaling things at different timing from left to right or top to bottom but I cant seem to just get a totally random scaling of the clones. I want to use noise but I cant get the clones to start off at 0 scale. I tried upping the brightness to 100% and then bringing it back to 0% but its not random enough.

  lets say i have 4 cloned spheres I want sphere 1 to go from 0 scale to 100 scale over 20 frames I want sphere 2 to scale over 30 frames and i want sphere 3 to scale over 10 frames etc…

  actually what i would really like is for them all the scale from 0 to 100 over 20 frames but start at different times on the timeline.

  one way is to animate the scaling (or a parameter) over 20 frames then use that in a cloner with a Random effector – Min/Max 0/100 – Random Mode Sorted – Color Mode On (or Effector Color in R20 – not actually necessary but gives visual feedback as you set up as to what will scale first) – and Time Offset greater than 0.
  If scaling rather than animating a parameter (like in the example) then Fix Clone in the Cloner should be off – change random seed to taste

  thanks
