  • Changing materials on cloners

    Hi there,

    I’ve set up a scene (find attached) with some glass cases containing an image, which have been put into a cloner repeated in z space. There is a master case which animates from left to right which is controlling an inheritance effector, which is in turn controlling the cloners.

    All sounds a bit complicated…..see the project file. (R12)

    The idea is to have a camera moving through a set of panels either side which turn to face the camera is it moves through them. I wanted to set this up so that I could use it to present a bunch of images.

    The inheritance effector does a great job of staggering the animation of each independent panel, however the problem is that as they are set up as cloners, I have the same image on each of them.

    I wondering if there is a way of changing the materials of each panel whist keeping the set-up.
    Or is this just impossible?

    Many thanks for any help! 🙂
