Hi everyone,

I have a geo node with a cube moving inside and also an “instance” node at OBJ level. Is it possible to modify the frame number currently playing on different “@instance”. (I know there is other way of doing that but I want to know if it's possible with this specific context (instance node with s@instance pointing to another geo node))

Because I use: s@instance = “/obj/moving_cube”; I don't know how to access the current frame to offset every copy

I attached the example file

Thanks

see attached,
for many instances its probably best to use point procedural from file, override the frame number.
for few instances use copy-sop with a stamp in a timeshift sop.
