    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

      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

          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

            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

              P.S.:

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

              CV4_2023_drs_23_RSfl_31.c4d

              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
