  • MOGRAPH : step effector down spline ?

    Posted by Andy Stokes on December 20, 2006 at 4:50 am

    Hi all,

    I have some cloned objects positioned on a spline using the spline effector. Additionally I have also applied a step effector to make the objects rotate / scale over the length of the path. This works fine for a still.

    However, problems arise when I try to animate. I’d like to set things up so when I animate the spline effectors offset, the objects will slide down the path and rotate/scale according to the step effector. This is currently not the case. It seems the step effector is fixed to the spline effector. I have tried changing the stacking order, although this doesn’t seem to make any difference.

    Am I missing something, or could there be another technique to achieve this ?

    Cheers,
    Andy

    Change the transform space of the Step Effector to “Effector” and place it after the Spline Effector. This should use the Spline Effector’s transform space and get you the effect you want.
