I thought sub models were too complicated to try, so I ignored it until seeing your video. In the first 5 minutes you gave me what I needed to know. Thank you!
Make sure to check out the part 2 video. Lots of learning and mistakes I made when I did this video. I follow up with some resolutions. Glad it helped you.
Vey helpful video! Thanks! Question - Can you create groups of the same sub models from different props? In you example if you set all your snowflakes w the same sub models, could you make a group to drop an effect on all “legs” for instance? Or do you have to drop the effect on each “leg” sub model? I’d like to break my outlines to vertical and horizontal so I can have different things going on vertically and horizontally.
I notice that your pattern on these snowflakes will be couter-clockwise. I've always found that using a clockwise setup works best. It seems like there are a lot of effects that default to clockwise. What have you found? Does it really make any difference? I suspect that the most important point would be to be consistent in your whole layout and for the sequencer (person) to be aware of the direction of the wiring of props.
Jon Harper Well, 2016 about this time, sub models came out. I thought the same. I waited till this year to learn about them. Took me around 30 minutes to do this. Would have been less if I wasn't explaining how as I went.

So did I ;)
I was just wondering how to do this when Brian told me of this at the NJ Epic a couple weeks ago. Awesome, Thanks!

That is how the client set up the flake. I do clock wise as well.
I want to learn how to make groups or models. All I seem to be able to make is straight pixel entry’s. How do you build all those groups?
Ctrl + Left Click to select the models you want in a group. Then right click, Create Group
Thank you I just found your older video on groups. You’ve been at this for a long long time👍🎄
Great video, Thank you!
I don't have that kinda time before lights have to go up. ..
