  • XPRESSO: read size of objects in group

    Posted by Ronny Traufeller on June 21, 2016 at 11:14 pm

    hey folks,

    i have plenty of toothwheels to fake-animate.
    i thought of a solution, where i could use the size as a factor for the speed.

    instead of dropping all of them into the xpresso editor, i thought of dropping the folder
    and read it, then also puttting back the value as rotation, also on the folder…

    is that making sense?

    thanks folks,
    Ronny

    are the gears going to touch each other (so some are going to be going clockwise and some counter-clockwise?)
    Folder?

    not really, its a whole bunch of them

    in this scene, they are some sort of backround filling.
    so its okay if they behaive wrong.

    what i did now, is to use a mograph fracture object and i time efffector,
    with a random effector to bring variation.
    its kinda solved, but i am still courious about the xpresso approach.

    thanks,
    Ronny
