It does update before you add a keyframe but after that first keyframe, no refresh until a new keyframe, maybe there’s a technical reason but I don’t know why.

a simple test here – cube in a Cloner set to grid in a Cloner set to grid – I can set object and Transform parameters in the child Cloner and they update in the viewport and show in animation. Though the viewport doesn’t update until I actually record the keyframe…

[Brian Jones]

what parameters are you trying to animate?

2) with Mograph use a Cloner, without it probably Functions/Duplicate

[Brian Jones]

if you have MoGraph can use the Displace Deformer but you’d have to drop the sub poly and use a HyperNurb to do the extra subdivision

[Brian Jones]

if you use sub-poly displacement you can set higher subdivisions there instead having to set higher segments (or you can toss it in a HyperNurb)

10.5 has a limit of 4000, sorry don’t know a solution (other than displacement of a plane)

add a Mograph Matrix object, set it to generate Thinking Particles and set the TPGroup to Group1. Set the Matrix settings first as it’s resource intensive. If anyone knows a more efficient way I’d go with that.

The SweepNurb uses the order of points in the spline the shape spline (in this case text) is being swept along. So if the sweep spline is parametric check the Reverse checkbox in the Object properties, if the sweep spline is editable go to Structure/Edit Spline/Reverse Sequence.
