    Is it possible to make objects move depending on how much light is shining on them?

    For example, a spot light would be moving over a large range of cubes, the cubes that have the most light on them would rise higher, whilst the cubes with less light rise lower.

    I have just done a tutorial using Mo graph to make object move using sound, so i assume it is possible. One person told me to use the step effector > adjust the fall of settings so it moves objects > then sync it with the light source. I have had no luck with this method.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Chris

    Try target effector. Dont know if it moves on light but you can make a sphere or something as a proxy object.
