random blinking lights

channel-blame

Hi Dr. Sassi, how are you? I created an Xpresso node for a blinking light, which is nice, but I can not figure out how to create randomly lights in a cloner ; can you please help me out here? also, maybe there is a more modern way to achieve this , I hope to use RS, but any solution would be most helpful. Thank you as always for your time, Craig

Dr. Sassi

Hi Craig,

Thanks for asking, I hope you have a great day.

Please have a look here:

CV4_2023_drs_23_RSfl_01.c4d

Change the setting Effector>Animation for different results.

I assume white illumination was the idea?

Let me know if that works.

All the best

@Dr-Sassi Thank you, please pardon, my obtuseness, but the lights are not flickering?, please tell me what I'm doing wrong ; (-thank you, Craig

Dr. Sassi

Hi Craig,

You never bother.

This works only during render time. Please let me know if rendering isn't working, I have seen it here flickering over time (not in the same frame), click to the next frame to see it working.

Cheers

Dr. Sassi

Here are a few more setups, Craig.

I assume file…_13.c4d fits.

CV4_2023_drs_23_RSfl_11.c4d
CV4_2023_drs_23_RSfl_12.c4d
CV4_2023_drs_23_RSfl_13.c4d
CV4_2023_drs_23_RSfl_21.c4d

If you share more details, I might get new ideas.

Enjoy

Dr. Sassi

P.S.:

I can't even count how many times I have set this up for objects.

This is the first time for R.S. lights in that way; I use two lights; one is off, and one is on.
The Cloner sorts it based on the "Modify Clones" of the Random Effector. Simple and easy.

Cheers
