Activity Forums Maxon Cinema 4D xpresso question

    I’ve been using C4D for quite a few years now, but am very new to using xpresso.

    I would like to have a light blink continuously, for example, the wingtip light of an airplane. 2 quick flashes, than off for 1 sec, 2 quick flashes again….

    I’m not sure what kind of xpresso node to connect to the light to achieve this.

    Thanks.

    it can be done with xPresso or just by keyframing the blinks for one second then Cycling the animation track for the desired number of cycles. Here’s an example of both. The xPresso has remarks in each node to (hopefully) explain what’s going on. There is probably more than one way to do it and that may not be the best…

    Wow, Brian! Thank you so much for posting your file – it’s really insightful to see other people’s XPresso set-ups!
