    Posted by Matthew Rivlin on February 24, 2010 at 5:25 pm

    I have a string of characters within a MoGraph text object which I would like to change the colors for on each frame.

    I want the colors to randomize between 3-4 shades, and switch between each letter.

    I have a random effector applied to the MoGraph obj, with color set to on, and within the color channel of the text’s material there is a multishader with 9 different shaders set to index ratio.

    I am missing something and would really appreciate some help.

    At this point, which part is missing? I mean what is it not doing that you want it to do?

    565_scene.c4d.zip

    attached is a link to my scene

    as I said, i have 9 colors (3×3) and i wish to have those 9 randomly alternate on the cap only of one mograph text object.

    There are two materials on the text object. one white for all but the C1, and one with 9 multishaders on it for the C1

    I wish to have the random effector or whatever else would work, alternate the colors on the C1

    right now the multi shader is set to index ratio and they do not alternate even when the seed of the randomizer is changed.

    (also when I do render the scene, the first few frames are way out of position, I’m guessing because of the plain/delay effectors, but I would like to solve that as well)

    I’m sure I’m missing something, but would love some help.

    thanks,
