C4D Logo build
Hey,
Just struggling to achieve what I need and could do with some help. I have a logo split up into multiple sections with a fracture object. I want these to flock around along spline (naturally) then form the logo at the end.
I’m using a spline effector then inheritance to overlap which works but doesn’t look right and I cant seem to tweak it. I have attached a file to where I’m up to.

First I need the flocking triangles to all face the same way in the direction of the spline. Usually I would go Spline>Parameter> and tick rotation but this sends all the clones mental. Also adding natural motion with a noise random effector send them way too crazy. I done similar before but never had behaviour like this.
Finally I need the leading triangle of the flock to build from the bottom up of the logo. No Idea how to achieve this. I think if you see the file its pretty clear what I’m trying to do, it just needs to be a really smooth transition.
I’ve already spent way to long trying to do what I thought would be simple so any help would be great.
Thanks,
Chris

this is part of it, the cones move aligned with the spline (greatly stretched so I could easily see where they are aligned). Don’t know about getting it to build from the bottom up maybe with Step but I’ve run out of time for the moment.

I realised just after I posted that the spline was also in the rail tag making it go crazy. I found I can change the order just by moving them around in the fracture but because of the randomness its difficult to build from the bottom perfectly.
I’m close enough now to be happy but thank you ever so much for your help.
Chris
