Hey,
im looking for the smartest way to time-offset a referenced animation (apply a time-offset only to a referenced value e.g. customTM channel; not the whole flow or event.).
In my scene i have a master Rotation Controller (dummy with keyframes) and id like to offset the animation by simIndex/BirhtID or some other integer that i can use as multiplier.
So for example: particle 0 has the true timing, Particle 1 has 20 Frames offset, Particle 2 has 40 Frames offset; Particle 3 has 60 Frames offset etc...
You can See in my Scene a simple example of what i try to achieve.
My 2 Questions are:
1#
Is there a way to get this precisely controlled without Script?
In my attached Scene i included my poor (tyflow) attempt.
I used several custom properties operators and have each of them filter by birhtID.
Then i used the interpolation to offset them, but its a different behaviour then a clean time-offset i feel?
Can i somehow tell the custom properties to GET the value and OFFSET by precisely X frames?
2#
If its not possible with the GUI tools, im sure this can be done with Script but im to inexperienced.
Whats the approach to time-offset a referenced animation based on particleIDs?
Is it even smart to do this inside tyflow?
Scene is max2022, i hope you can open it)
Thanks in advance guys!
