Stagger Inheritance?
Hi
I’ve posted a little clip to better explain what I want to do here:
https://www.tomottoe.com/img/movietest.mov
Right now, I’m using an inheritance effector to morph cloner objects; I’ve animated the strength of the inheritance effector from 100% to 0% over the length of the clip; the cloner at the end is in object mode, linked to a path, set to vertex mode (in the test, so I could get that gap in the top row; ultimately I will be arranging the clones in the shape of a map). I’m wondering if there’s another way to set up the morphing so that the clones don’t all arrive in position in the same frame?
thanks

It’s not the only way to do it, but you could use a shader effector set to transform weight only, with a radial gradient int he shading slot. Then either animate the gradient, or as in the file linked below, animate the effector’s Min/Max (Max) value.

wow–thanks. I never would have figured that out. I still don’t really grok the weight transform thing.
thanks again!

Weight is just a way to tell the clones how much they should be affected. Basically it allows you to use an effector to modify the influence of other effectors.
