Offset animation with the Step effector

- [Instructor] Let's look at how we'd offset animation with effectors. In this setup, we've got a cube, and we're just going to focus on this for the moment. It's got some deformers underneath, and they're causing the animation to happen here, so if we toggle them on and off, you can see nothing's happening. With bend deformer, we're unfolding that cube. See, deformers allow you to manipulate geometry in a non-destructive way, so this becomes quite interesting when we put these objects into a cloner, and you can see we've got it cloning linearly, now if we add a spline effector to the cloner, you can see now it's cloning around this inner ring that we have here. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could offset this animation and get a sort of cascading effect? So let's do that with a step effector. So with the cloner inner selected, I'm going to choose a step effector, and now the default behavior is to scale the clones up, so uncheck that, and we're interested in this one all the way at the…
