cascade effect in main xl
« on: September 26, 2017, 04:53:42 PM »
Any thought too adding the AC cascade effect to the main xl effect list.
It makes for cleaner chases etc.
Could it be setup too apply to a single effect or group of effects,
 ie add colour wash for 2 secs and then use cascade to draw over the effect and to the right or left
 for the time period you want the cascade to run for,
rather than having to go down to the node level to to do this.
Just a thought
Cheers Boof63 :)

There are no plans. I am aware of the interest but there are major complications that would need to be resolved and I don't see that happening any time soon.

Cascade already works with the existing effects.

Thanks Gil and Keith , Gil your gif shows what i want it to do but only on one model, not across all the models.
(Though i must point out i did that whilst playing around and found it worked a treat actually.)
Anyways thanks for replies and will work with it at node level
Cheers Boof63
PS if work at node level , is there away to show you have an effect at the node level show up at the model level, so you know quickly
Thanks again

So why can't you do what I showed in the GIF on one model?  You do know you can add layers to the model level right?  Just right-click, select Insert Multiple Layers and type in a number.  Then my operation works at the model level and can be done on a single model.

There is an ancient GitHub request already for showing effect data at the model level.  Not sure if its hard to do but no one has tried yet.
