    Hey everyone,

    When I apply the multi-shader to a cloner object, it only works if there is a single object in the cloner. If I have a few objects under the cloner, the multishader doesn’t respond accurately. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Thank you.

    Best,
    Craig

    What do you mean when you say it doesn’t respond accurately?

    If I have five objects in the cloner and five colors in the shader, each color is not represented…it’s still random.

    Thanks Adam,
    Craig

    By default the multishader will just apply the first layer to every clone. If you set it’s mode to “index ratio” it will distribute the layers across however many clones you have. The real power of the mograph shaders is in controlling them with effectors that have their parameter>color mode turned on.
