Today I would like to share with you a greatly useful Python Effector Script written by Iain Greenhalgh…
Couple of days ago I was searching for a way to create random appearing clones with time control. I had found some way using Xpresso but it was not enough because they had no time control and it was a heavy scene on CPU. I asked a question on cgsociety forum and thankfully Iain Greenhalgh answered me with this wonderful Python Effector Script. ( I guess he had written it on 2013 ).
So I would like to share it with you;
