“MoGraph – Part I – Cloner” tutorial question
Hello,
MoGraph – Part I – Cloner is very nice and clear tutorial, except 1 thing i cant figure out.
In the spline object part, cone (arrowhead) is moving along the spline, as the result of clone’s “end” parameter animation (at 15:06) – i cant make that work..
Could anyone please help me with that? -

The cloner with the pyramid should be simple enough. I suspect the tricks are:
– the helix is used twice, once for the cloner – once for the arrow
– he uses a spline tag for the Cone (Arrow) and animates the cone along the helix and matches the Align to Spline’s ‘Position’ parameter to match the Cloner’s ‘End’ parameter
– set the Cone’s Orientation to +Z and Check ‘Tangential’ and set Axis to Z in the Align to Spline tag
– the Helix should be set to Uniform (makes it easier to match the timing along the spline) -
Thank you very much for reply
I suspected that it animated separately, but thought that may be there is some trick to animate the arrowhead through the cloner start/end parameter.
