Complex Trails
Howdy,
I’m moving 9 solids that form a solid plane. The parented “tiles” are moved by a single 3d null’s rotation value.
Can anyone help me stagger the frame at which the “tiles” land. I tried changing the valueAtTime by subtracting the index, but it doesn’t seem to affect the null parent relationship.
Thanks for your time!

I can’t think of anything except maybe using 9 identical nulls (with the same keyframes) as parents then staggering their animated properties with something like this:
delay = .1;
valueAtTime(time – index*delay)Adjust delay (or tie it to a slider) until you get what you’re after.

Hey Dan,
I feared there was no magic solution. Thanks for your help, again.
It’s a bummer that parenting objects doesn’t actually update their 3D coordinates.
This seems like something they would have included.– Matt
