Controlling Light Object Intensities in Cinema 4D with Effectors

By May 16, 2012March 31st, 2015No Comments

EJ Hassenfratz shows how to take control of lights in Cinema 4D by showing a simple way to affect a light objects intensity with an effector as well as on/off and gradual light fade ups and downs.

Check out the tutorial for Controlling Light Object Intensities in Cinema 4D with Effectors here.

EJ Hassenfratz: In this tutorial, I’ll explain a very simple way that you can effect Light Objects intensity in Cinema 4D with an effector and how to get a “turn on/turn off” look as well as a gradual light fade on/fade off type of example. I’ll go over another use for this method to create a noise meter animation where meter bars light up and glow, all controlled with an effector. And to finish it off, I’ll throw a little Cappucino & Mograph Effector action to animate the noise meter to look like it’s reacting to crowd noise and sync it with a shaking camera as the intensity builds as the “crowd” gets louder!
