Offset animation with the Step effector
- [Instructor] Let's take a look at how we'd offset animation with effectors, and in this little setup I've got a cube and it has these deformers underneath it. Now deformers allow you to manipulate geometry in a nondestructive way. So I've got this Bend Deformer selected and you can see it's got some animation on it. If I hold down J and just Scrub the timeline. See now it's unfolding this cube, and the cube also has a bit of tapering on it, you can turn these off, and as I said, it's nondestructive. So now this is quite interesting when you put it into a Cloner, and so you just turn on the Cloner here. We've got the cloner in a linear setup, and the clone is going to use a Spline Effector to clone onto this outer ring. So, what happens when we play all this back? Well, you get this kind of unfolding happening. And wouldn't it be cool if we can offset this, and kinda create a cascading effect. Well, let's do that with a Step Effector. So I'm gonna select the Clone, and come over the…
