  • Can’t Get Effector Falloff to Work

    Posted by Ryan Paterson on January 13, 2011 at 5:38 am

    I have a Fracture object which contains a Null, containing an Extrude Nurbs (contains Text Spline) and a Spline Wrap.

    So like this: Fracture->Null->Extrude(Text Spline), Spline Wrap

    I hope that makes sense, anyway- my Spline Wrap is animating my Extruded text around an ellipse. I attached a Plain Effector to the Fracture to effect the scale property. This works fine when in infinite mode, but as soon as I enable falloff, nothing is effected any more! I just want the text to be at 0 scale whence inside the area of effect, and 100% when not. Simple!

    I have even done this effect before, but I cant figure out what the heck is going on here! And of course I have tried different falloff modes, made sure everything is lined up etc.

    R12 btw

    probably you need to set your Fracture object to Explode Segments and Connect
