Philipp Pavlov sets up a simple scene using cloned cones in Cinema 4D to show how you can randomly change PSR in Clones with fixed step using the Cinema 4D Formula Effector. While working on a project recently, Philipp tried the set up with a step and random effector, but that proved to complex and difficult, and soon found a solution with the Formula Effector.
In latest project i had a lot of clones which need to be placed in straight angle to each other. I tryed to make it with step and random effector, but it was very hard to setup, so i thought why just not use formula effector
Philipp Pavlov notes that quite obviously, using the Formula Effector in Cinema 4D requires, well… formulas, and admittedly it does get nerdy in places, however Philipp has annotated the tutorial in efforts to make it easy to follow along.
