Incremental rotation in an array

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi

I'm trying to create an array of objects along the axis of a cylinder, and also incrementally rotate each element of the array relative to the cylinder axis (e.g. array element1 rotated by 5 degrees, element 2 by 10 degrees and so on). The number of array elements is a parameter. Is there any way of doing the rotation in a single operation (I can manually create a number of rotate nodes, but it will be cumbersome)?
