Hi,

I have some Sims which I saved as ASS-File Sequence and now I need them to be time offset, so one instance starts at frame 1 and another one on frame 20 or whatever.

I had a look a this tut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP5xKi0r8DA&t=628s [www.youtube.com]
and as this works fine for native houdini files I cannot get it to work with ass files.

All I can randomize is the version (object A, object B, etc.), not the time offset of each version.

As a workaround: Do I have to save out each sequence seperately? Or is there a way to tell the Arnold Procedural the Start Frame? I know, there is a Frame Parameter below the file path, but adding something does not seem to have an effect.

Anyone encountered this issue?
Thanks
