Hello,
I have Cloned Diamond Pattern made up of a animation using a sweep and a Disc to make a diamond. What im trying to do is offset the animation so it starts from the bottom left to the top right.  This is a sample video im trying to do but rather then starting from left to right i want it to come in on a angle. I tried to use a step effector but the offset is from bottom to top and i want it to come in from a angle.


I have a sample file.

I think i figured it out. I set the Step effector to linear. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wikni1jsoh2bpc0/PatternAnimation_REV.c4d?dl=0  I hope this is the way to get it done.. Thanks in Advance

Hi kingkopper,

I have attached a sketch with two set ups. Both are sketches to give you something to move forward. The elements are just squares from my point of view, and based on the rotation, they appear like “diamond shapes”.

To get the “correct” combination, as in the example in your link, you need to play with combinations of such.

Happy New Year
