Grouped object revealed over time as a whole?
-
Hello.
I have a group of objects functioning as one object that I'm trying to reveal over time. I tried using Booleans -- one big, encompassing Boolean to intersect the group, but it simply doesn't work. I don't see any errors, I just don't see the effect of the Boolean. And after that, I have no idea what to try next.
My grouped (compound) object is mostly cubes, although there is a Boolean in there which contains a cloner (and there's another cloner, too), so I assume my compound object is just too complex for the Boolean to handle.
Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? I thought about some kind of animated field or something, then realized I don't know where to begin or if that's even feasible. Thanks for any advice!

Hi Blake,
I am not on my computer as I am visiting the Maxon Summit this week. So I have to do what I think is not the best way to do it—guessing. Sorry about that.
Having a whole scene (or a larger group) in a Boole might not work when one part is not ready for this.
Take the most complete object and test if a cube can Boole it. Perhaps with the group either under a Connect Object or Booled first, or even merge all first. Those three might hold one option to explore further.
Please note that Multi Instance might be source of trouble here, if the Cloner is set to this.
My best wishes
