I made the red cube move for 100 frames

I made a blue cube by duplicating a red cube. And since I moved the keyframe back, the blue cube moves after 20 frames

enter image description here

But this work takes two steps.

  1. Duplicating 2. Moving Keyframes

But I want to give delayed keyframes to many cubes, so I want to know how to easily do two steps at once.

Probably this could work ...

  • Duplicate node - set number of instances
  • Multiply node - set time offset (delay in frames)
  • Integer node - set animationn length (of one instance in frames)
  • Map Range node - To Min = start location, To Max = end location (meters)

The Nonlinear Animation editor is made for that:

  • Duplicate your cube
  • Select a cube. In the Dope Sheet, switch to Action Editor, click on the Push Down button to push the action into the Nonlinear Animation editor:

  • In the Nonlinear Animation editor, move the strip:

It works fine for tens of cube, if you have hundreds of cube, maybe consider Geometry Nodes?

  • What makes a difference between Q/A workflow? I mean - it is also 2 steps. – vklidu Jun 29 '22 at 16:58
  • Yes but with his solution you'll end up with tens of actions, it seems more convenient to work with the NLA. I guess the only other solution is to do it with Geometry Nodes, but I don't know them enough – moonboots Jun 29 '22 at 17:36
  • Ah ... I forgot, when PushDown the action is reused in duplicated object ... yes it is convenient :) Thanks – vklidu Jun 29 '22 at 18:20
  • I didn't test it, but seems to be related https://github.com/mrachinskiy/commotion – vklidu Jun 30 '22 at 06:57
  • Oh ok thanks i'll take a look at it – moonboots Jun 30 '22 at 09:13
