I’m curious, what did you do to the original setup with cloners to get to the first one you uploaded with the fracture objects?
-
Ok, I understand now. I guess I didn’t take my example far enough to see the issue with the radial cloner. I would think that random rotation of each strand in the cloner would be possible, but I’ll need to think about it some more. It might need to use some xpresso, which I am not very familiar with. Perhaps someone else will chime in in the meantime, but I will continue to dig further.

It seems that you have changed your setup since uploading the original images. You had cloners before, whereas the project now is using Fracture objects to apply the random effectors. And from what I see, you are getting random rotation of the crystals on each strand. I removed the transparent materials and increased the random rotation value for clarity, then soloed the upper crystals in the render below. I guess I am confused about what you’re after if the result pictured doesn’t show it.

See if the setup for a strand of crystals pictured below helps. If not, please upload your project file.

Have you tried using a cloth plane as the object for a cloner? Something like this perhaps:

Here’s a tutorial that may help:

If you don’t need to control the clones after their creation, you could use a cloner in object mode with the helix as the object, make the cloner editable to separate all the individual clones, and add a display tag to the last nine. Set the display tag for each one to 10%, 20%, etc. respectively.

Thanks Renato.

That’s very generous of you. I’ll have to wait for the Mac version though.
Any chance you’re going to update NOTA Effector to work with later versions?

If you’re still checking in, did my previous post solve the issue?
