Hello,
Can you please help me, I spend so much time searching for my problem.

Is it possible to position the clones as we want ?

In fact, I would like to create this visual with spheres as clones.
But i can’t find a way to have this kind of ogive shape. I try with a spline, I put dots where I want the clones to be, but it didn’t works. The clones are along the spline but not perfectly where I want.

can you put me on the track ?

Thx so much !

Jérôme

Hi Jérôme,

Please have a look at this file below:

The Cloner can take Splines, and in your case, it needs to be set to Object> Distribution> Vertex.
The scaling, as well as the colorization, is defined by Effectors, while each is working with a Field.

Please let me know if there is any question, I’m happy to look into it.

Enjoy.

Hey !
Thank you so much for taking your time to help a beginner like me !

This is so great :D
just a little option

THX a lot !

Hey sorry, it’s me again but i’m working on the R19 and I don’t have the fields.

I tied to do the gradient color of the clones with a color shader.
But it doesn’t work in object mode, it work only with linear distribution.

Is there a way to make it with R19 ?

Hi Jérôme,

No problem here is your R19 version:

Please note that I have set the Cloner> Transform> Color: black.
The Plain Effector for the color is providing a Grayscale along the Linear Falloff. This is then used in the Material, and translated from gray to color.

It is easy to adjust the gradient, so the lower right gets more red for example.

Let me know if you have more questions, I’m happy to look into it.

Enjoy, stay safe, stay healthy.
