In the 9.0 pdf manual's discussion of the relativity expression language, there is a reference to how you can use "#ex" to take
"the numeric extension of the object’s name, either the
“(1)”, “(2)”, etc.) of a cloned object’s name, or any numeric
extension on an object’s filename (i.e. myobject001.lwo,
myobject002.lwo). This can be useful in setting up a set of
expressions that automatically offset clones and numeric
duplicates of objects into their appropriate position when
cloned (this was used in the “newtank.lws” example scene
to make all the tread links fall into their correct position."
p.384
This is exactly what I want to do, but where can I find the "newtank" example scene to study?
Also, on the subject of the manual--where is chapter 25 on compositing? Is it an additional download?
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
