Scale each primitive from a copy sop with a time offset

[ndeboar]

Hey,

I thought this would be simple, but I am totally stumped. 

See the attached hip file. I want each rectangle to scale up (preferably in the local x axis) over time, but with an offset to each piece. 

In psudo code, I am trying todo something like this:

If ($PT < $F)

{xScale = PreviousFrameScale + 1;}

 

The current setup is my attempt to do it the a solver sop + attribute wrangle. I can't work out how to scale along just the x axis though, it's a bit of a mess :/

Any ideas? 

Ta,

Nick

Hey Nick, 

The copy SOP recognises the pscale attribute and will apply that to any copies you put into the left hand side. I've moved the solver to above the copy SOP and wrote a simple if expression, basically what you wrote above.

Ha, of course! I almost had it

 

Thanks Sean.
