Mograph vewport realtime update

[Randy Johnson]

You have to change the value then make the second keyframe.
So: Key frame- move timeline- change value- keyframe

Thank you Randy,
That is basically what i did. The problem is I dont see any changes in the viewport while i am setting up a new keyframe. I nest two Cloner Objects and It works for the object that is on the top of hierarchy. Still, the viewport does not respond for the nested object parameters. I believe it should be some simple solution for this problem. I just cannot find it 🙁
Thanks again for your help.

what parameters are you trying to animate?

[Sergei Opanasuk]

All parameters under Object and Transform Tab. It happens when i animate nested Clone Object. It works fine when the
Clone object is not a child of another Clone object.
I don’t have any issues when i nest Clone object into Text, Fracture, Matrix, or Instance Object.
Thank you.

Just one more thing. It looks like parameters of child Clone object don’t have any issues as long as parent Clone object is disabled. Thank you for all your feedback!!!!

a simple test here – cube in a Cloner set to grid in a Cloner set to grid – I can set object and Transform parameters in the child Cloner and they update in the viewport and show in animation. Though the viewport doesn’t update until I actually record the keyframe…

Hi Brian,
That is absolutely correct. I thought i can see the changes in the viewport before i set a new keyframe. I just hoped there is some way to make that thing work. Grid array mode does not have many properties. It gets a bit annoying when i work in Linear or Radial mode.
Thank you!!!!

It does update before you add a keyframe but after that first keyframe, no refresh until a new keyframe, maybe there’s a technical reason but I don’t know why.
