Hi
Trying to rotate cubes using a cloner, in 90 degrees each time, while cubes are changing their size.
I need it to loop and done via a Cloner.
There’s an example of the result i want (made manually).
Any input will be appreciated.

Hi Gilk,

Thanks for the illustration.

Here is an example:

You might adjust one or the other Linear falloff or use the additional file with the Radial falloff.

The fundamental problem with such setups is that the scaling sits in the center. This means each clone axis is in the exact same spot. In this way, it affects all in the same way. To avoid this, an over-decade-old trick is to push them apart and then move them back.
To loop, I always take the total number of frames, divided by (total number of frames+1), times 360. The initial keyframe needs to be linear. [Cloner> Object> Offset.]

All the best

Thanks for That!
Very helpful.

The 1st solution is what i need. I tried doing it by animating the Step Field inside the step effector.

The Radial field creates a funky result, Love it

Thanks again.

Thanks a lot, Gilk, for taking the time.

My best wishes for your project.
