I've these triangles that gonna unfold from each other (see image).
I've attached a null object on each point of the triangle and now I wondering if its possible to do this unfolding with xpresso in a easy way?

All help is appreciated!

Let me know!

In xpresso attaching the null to a vertex can be achieved with the point tag but I havent been able control that vertex with the null. I've also tried the following techniques:

- constraint tag (it only takes objects as a parameter)
- cluster tag (only works with geometry, point selection on splines didn't work)

Thank you,

I have this strange problem where my expresso driven animation is not working in the renderer.
It works fine in the viewport but when i render its like i never keyframed the userdata slider witch are linked to some xpresso..

I hope someone can help me im on a deadline here and completely lost......]]> Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:35:43 +0000 http://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/53349-xpresso-animation-not-showing-in-renderer/ train on spline http://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/53285-train-on-spline/ Here is my issue. I need all the cars to move with each other on the tracks. I would like to animate just the first car and have all the others stay attached to the
spline and just follow. I have tried constraint tags, but when I run the train the cars that follow the lead car fly off the tracks eventually.

Is there a way to attach all the train cars to the spline path in there relative positions and have them all follow each other as a unit. This way I can animate the lead car along the spline and they will all follow?

would set driven keyframes work??]]> Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:23:34 +0000 http://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/53285-train-on-spline/ mograph cloner delay http://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/53155-mograph-cloner-delay/ is it possible to offset the start an end of the growth??
i have a sweep nurbs that growth from 0% to 100% in a cloner object.
5 horizontal and 5 vertical.i dont wan´t them to grow all of them the same.]]> Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:49:37 +0000 http://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/53155-mograph-cloner-delay/
