Expression value not working when pick whipped. Sometimes.

*Using just THE values I’d like it to effect the zPosition …

Hey Karl, that is strange behaviour indeed! It seems that on Z it works only when the exact same expression is applied again.

I also checked in case there is some rounding happening – doesn’t seem to be the case neither.

Hi Tomas.

Thanks for looking into this for me. 🙂

Yes; I did consider copying the same expression on the Z, but assumed it would mean more computing!?

NOTE: The expression works as intended if I place the script slider on the null.

The null allows me to place/move the square easily on the comp for now. I plan to fill up the screen with the squares. Kind of making it appear like a vortex. Once in place, I’d delete the nulls. Wanting to recreate something like this.

Update:

More layers than I would have liked. Double the number because of the NULLs.Orientation has gone out of whack but should be able to fix that.
