Can I do this with Replicators in Motion and if not what would be the best way?

Thanks very much Jasper for your reply.

Yes, your method occurred to me. The problem is that as the rows fan out into the distance they begin to overlap very quickly, so with what you suggest it will appear as though one of the types of rows is on top of the other with out anything in between them.

I am going to include an animation that I found on youtube that is exactly what I am going for, the only difference is that it does not have the objects on top of the columns. Let me know if you have any other ideas or if you think my only choice is to do them one by one.

I think I have to do them one by one, that is difficult though, because it will be VERY hard to get them to line up correctly as they go off into the horizon I think...

Also, I forgot to say I do not know much about particle emitters (I'm a semi-noob to Motion 5 if you can't tell) I'm going to look into them tonight though. If you think I can do what you saw in the youtube video with particle emitters or any other method please let me know and thanks again 😝

First of all thank you so much for going through this trouble to lend a hand.

It does help, but I need to swap your columns with the ones I have which have the animations on top. Can that be done easily?

Also, I'm trying to study what you've done here and I'm confused. I don't understand how you were able to make these without the columns overlapping each other...

Tomorrow I have most of the day to devote to this, I'm hoping that if I study what you've done here I'll be able to figure out the process and make the adjustments I need to make with my columns.

If you have any other helpful hints let me know. Thanks!

I'm working on this and making some headway, but still mega confused.

The thing I'm most confused about is why the two replicators you have don't seem to over lap one another.

Is the tip that you've given the key to make sure that they don't?

If that's the case then I think I must have set things up incorrectly, because I believe I've done what you suggested and they do overlap rather than alternate like yours do.

I'm spending the day trying to work on this, thanks again for your help and knock on wood for me and maybe I'll make a breakthrough with this. 😁

Hey!

Just a little update. I JUST adjusted it so that they interweave rather than overlap each other.

The only thing is I'm not sure what I did differently here.

I'm still mystified, but it seems like I'm making progress. Hopefully I'll get this down AND understand how to duplicate it in future instances.

If you think you have any other light to shed then let me know and I'll keep you abreast of my progress.

I'm coming to the end of a very important project that very well might help me get a job with a pretty high profile band, so I honestly can't thank you enough for your help.

Thanks so much!

Hey Jasper, I have everything figured out except for one more thing that I think should be a simple adjustment to make but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.

Right now the further out the columns go to the horizon the more they converge at the center of the screen. For the animation I'm trying to achieve it would be great if I could get them so the bottoms of the columns stays relatively close to level of the closest column to the screen.

I can't quite get this, when I adjust the cameras or the position of the group within the properties panel the best I can do is get a version that cuts off the top.

I am enclosing a link to a youtube video that should give you a more clear visual representation of what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks again 🙂

Awesome! I had adjusted nearly everything BUT the camera rotation. Now I've got it looking just the way I want it to. THANK YOU AGAIN!
