How to duplicate layers/spreads at specific positions

vvvv beta question
#1

Hi folks,

I would like to duplicate spreads, without changing the spreads count.

In the example attached I try to position at 3 different place, but the spread is splitted.
How to remain with the same numbers of slices for the spreads but at different positions?

Hi,

Maybe this helps. I’m not sure why your patch doens’t work tho.

The simplest solution would be LinearSpread after Cross…

@drehwurm Please note that your patch is producing 5^6 number of overlapping quads, because you are spreading second LinearSpread Input: 55 = 25 values that in Cross become 252525 = 15625, while it would be (5^3)3 the correct number, meaning 555 = 125 (first cube of cubes) and then * 3 = 375.

@h99: yes doing a linearspread is good when the positions are linear.
But in fact I have to replicate the cube 24 times along various positions X and Y from the original patch.

Is it possible to do it after? …
Like a duplication of layers but not the texture to keep 3d effect/movement from the initial cube?
