    Hi!

    I want to render out several unique numbers using a Cloner. When I create two text objects going from 0 to 100 and put them inside a Cloner set to Clones: Blend they do not change when the text are create using the Text object. But when changed to Text Spline they do update.

    Is this an intended behaviour or a bug?

    I'm using 2024.3.2

      Hi history-growth,

      The field for text is in String Format, which doesn't work in sequences.

      To make that happen, User Data can help.

      Ensure that the number of clones equals the amount between the low and upper numbers to avoid decimals.

      All the best

        Thank you Dr. Sassi!

        What would be a good workflow to iterate text on a Text object in a Cloner. What I'm looking for is a way to have a full text and render each word in this text on each cloned Text. Guessing it would be a bit of Python?

          Hi history growth,

          Please start a new thread for new questions. Follow-up questions with different targets will make this forum harder to search and the thread more difficult to read. Thank you.

          I copied your text, as the post above contains the feedback to the question before and the new one:
