Set Driven Animation

[opus2761 0]

Hi,  

I created this geometric pattern, where the iteration number of polyextrude is related to the value of Cd. But how can i animate this so that the primitive will start extruding as the Cd value changes? I looked at some examples of lookup Chop but still didn't figure it out. Does anyone know how to achieve this? 

 

Here is my ultimate goal : 

For polyextrude iterates 1 time ($CR 0.25-0.5) : 

       Total frames of extruding: 14     F1 -F14

For polyextrude iterates 2 time ($CR 0.51-0.75) : 

       Total frames of extruding: 28    F1-f14 (1st iteration) F15-F28 (2nd iteration)

For polyextrude iterates 3 time ($CR 0.76-1.00) : 

       Total frames of extruding: 42    F1-f14 (1st iteration) F15-F28 (2nd iteration) F29-F42(3rd iteration) 

 

I hope this makes sense.... 

Thanks for looking at this post. I've also attached the scene file and I really appreciate your help!

Hi, yc

I took a pass at trying to do what I think you are talking about. Let me know if you have any questions about it.
