VF elements a dynamics tag = Voronoi Fracture elements with a dynamics tag? If that’s correct, fractures fit together really tightly so how could you add different initial velocities to the pieces? They would just get stopped by their neighboring pieces. Are you looking to randomize the break-up the fracture?
If that’s not it at all what are you trying to do? -
I see, you really are using only two splines in a Sweep (without using a Rail Spline) the functionality is
Sweep
– spline (spline that gets swept)
– spline (along this spline)Because your splines are not at the origin point it looks offset from the ‘along this’ spline. What you want (I think) is not a Sweep but a Loft. If you put two splines in a Loft it will make geometry to join the two.

Found it, in a standard material you can just add a Mograph Color Shader (set to Color in Channel) and that seems to do it
-
with a Node material you can pass the color from a MoGraph node (in the Info group) into the color of the BSDF node and get the Field color remapping. I don’t know how to do it in standard materials

post the scene file please

Are you using Volume distribution in the cloner?
-
a deformer that’s at the same level as a number of objects should affect them all equally (like a Bend) or across them all (like Bulge). If your objects are in a null with the deformer it should work but it will depend on the setup of the scene.

unfortunately your image covers the most important info – what is the Texture Tag/Projection set to? if it’s UVW your UV’s are kind of goofed from the construction if it’s somethings else it should probably Flat or UVW (depending).

yes, that was it. Note that when you Bake (assuming from 61 to 102) make sure you have played through to frame 61 – I don’t know if it’s absolutely necessary but it ensures the first frame of the bake is correct.
And a note about animation of a character with a lot of mesh detail – it’s generally better to make a character with a minimal mesh and use SubD to smooth that. It makes it easier to weight bones if you have fewer vertices to control and in this case baking to PLA isn’t such a weight in file size. -
I’m not going to have time to look at it for a bit but I’ll bet you need to drag the Time track into the Time Track slot of the PLA track in the Timeline. It’s done that way so you can have multiple Time tracks and animate between them or have one Time track affect one set of parameters and another affect something else in the object etc. Powerful but it means you have to drag the time track into the PLA Time Track slot… then it should affect the PLA.
