Activity Forums Maxon Cinema 4D Light Pulses up and down a cloned object

  • Light Pulses up and down a cloned object

    Posted by Christian Roman on October 25, 2016 at 7:09 pm

    I’m trying to get pulses of light traveling up and down a circular cloned object. So light travels down and up each ring starting from the smallest center to ring to the outermost ring with the largest radius. I tried by animating a circular gradient on a luminance and then applying this to the alpha channel on my object. However its not having the intended effect. Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes is exactly it. If I wanted to change the color of the clones and add more pulses do I just group everything and duplicate? Thanks so much.

    You can change the color using Shader Effector’s gradient controls. You’d add more pulses the same way (by adding more knots).

    Ahhh I see now. The powers of the gradient. Thanks so much.
