please see the attached file.
hi.
im trying to create a mograph system, in which a random effector effects the heigh (Y) of my clones?
i would like the effector to be on CLONER B, so it effects the full system. right now, if i place it on CLONER B, it moves all 3 clones as 1 unit. if i place the effector on CLONER A, it moves the cloner within the triptych, but is then mimicked on CLONER B.
please help.
basically, is there a way to have an effector on a parent effect the matrices of a child cloner.

Hi Liron,

There is no Effector in the scene, so I have no idea if you like to use a falloff or not.

Your set up is

Cloner_B
__Cloner_A
_____Object

The random pattern of the three clones from A repeats when used in A. The group of clones becomes moved equally when used in B.

I have attached a scene file that allows you to have this pattern established, but affect individual clones with the Random Effector.

I assume that you gave me a complete description of the target. If there is more needed, you might create with single polygons, that triple structure and go from there as attached.

All the best

Sassi
