Hi, i used to be able to reset my cloner blend mode in r19 with a plain effector with the following:
- Modify clone 100%
- Set max to 0

In R20 nothing happens when i change the max to 0.

I know falloffs and weights have been revamped, but whats the way of doing it now?

thanks

Hi thanulee,

Yes, I can see what you describe, in R20 0% switches the Effector off and the Blend affects the clones from start to finish as blend, not a single one is the same. That was not the case in R19. The manual doesn’t state this (do I miss something?)

I have to explore this more in detail.

For now, here are two ways to get back to the old way:

Typically the set up with Blend is based on a Cloner that blends one, and a parent Cloner that distributes them. There, it is not a problem, and since this is the way I use it, I have not notice any problems.

The other file uses a Plain Effector right on the start with a value for Modify Clones that is really small. In this way it doesn’t snap back to a sequence blend.

If I find out something else, I will follow up here.
Otherwise, you are more than welcome to ask the support, which would be also a proper place, since this goes kind of in the coding part of the app.

My best wishes

Thanks alot Dr. Sassi!
If any more info on this follow up here thanks again

I will do of course, thanulee.

It feels like that it should be like before. It makes no sense to have an off switch with a 0% function there.

Thanks for posting this.

All the best
