      Hi, I have 3 splines in a sweep that I have animated across thirty 30 frames using an FFD deformer and PLA.
      I have these splines in a matrix using a redshift tag.
      I want these to be triggered with a vertex map that I have growing on a plane. The splines work as expected and get triggered but the animation on them get triggered all at the same time. Is there a way to get them to trigger once the vertex maps reveal them? I e tried baking as alembic and using connect objects but with no joy. Any tips or advice would be great, thanks
