Does chaos scatter supported to Preview animations ?

Hello!

I made a simple scatter animation , use gradient map to drive instances rotation.
when you drag the time slider, they are good, but don't move in Preview video. (menu - tools - preview - grab viewport - create preview animation)

Hi, animation is supported for modificators (bend, noise etc) and vertext/poly edit. Transformation is animatable only for rotate and scale, if you check preserve model rotation/scale in scatter. Animation of sources objects positions is not supported. Transformation map and parameters in scatter can be animated too.
If you need animate position of source object, try animate all poly by editable poly/Animate. I dont know your intention, but it can be solution.




if you mean 3ds max preview generation - you are right, the preview for animated instances does not work. I have reported it to the support team.
