Cloner dynamics and several effectors on individual elements?

Hi!

Trying to figure out if it’s possible to use several effects for different purposes on the same clones. When the Cloner is set to “Individual Elements: All” the static effect is not working (the MoSelector effector is working tho). When I change that to “Individual Elements: Off” the static effector does work in the expected way…

Is this some limitation I’m not aware of? How can I work around this?

Hi martinlofqvist,

Thanks for all the information.

All means that they are exploring their very own way inside of the dynamics. Off means they are seen as one object.

What ever happens in MoGraph will be limited to MoGraph. In the moment Dynamics is applied, anything in that frame will be calculated and then explored what this state will do in the Dynamics.
That is the flow of processing and priority. In the next frame it starts again. Two things at different time inside of each frame.

But you can use the MoGraph selection to tell the Dynamics which one to use, and there are two fields to be even more specific.

Hi!

But I do not really understand how this affects on the behavior of the Effectors.

Is it onnly possible to use one (1) Effector when the dynamics is set to All?

As I mentioned, the Dynamics is calculated AFTER the MoGraph, in each frame.

So if you exclude something in side of the Dynamics calculation, then it will use the MoGraph information and adds not any Dynamic based changes on it.

The settings Off for Individual elements creates a set up as all clones are just one object, not single clones.

All the best
