spiraling cards

Use a Helix Spline and set your Cloner to object mode, referencing the soline. Gives you all the control you need by adjusting the Helix’ parameters.

Thank you, Mylenium. You are a great, and I mean great resource.

Everything worked well according to instructions. The problem is that the cards need to be
one on top of the other – like a deck being spread out – and each card at a 45 degree angle.

When I try this in mograph, “fixed” has to be cut off, or you don’t get the plane angled.
When this happens, the cards cut into each other when angled. That is bits of the
under card penetrates out from the card covering it.

I guess the thing to try is instead of using the flat plane and angling it, import an alpha pre-angled, and add it to
vectorizor to give it geometry – then use that in helix/clone.

(Originally, I’d wanted to do this in Trapcode Echospace, It’s faster. but the filter was bugging out!)

You may need to add a Target effector and use Up-Vectors. this should fix the overlap problems. Also look into turning off the Align option and creating the rotation, scaling etc. with an additional step effector.
