A look at using the Cinema 4D Mograph Module showing how to create some complicated effects without a lot of work, from the School of Motion’s Joey Korenman who shows a technique for offsetting animation of clones.
In this tutorial I show you a technique to offset the animation on your clones to get some very complex animation
Cloning cube objects onto the faces of a sphere, Joey walks through the finer points of what the cloner object is doing in Cinema 4D, and demonstrates creating complex effects easily by layering effectors and using Time Offset to offset animation. Check out the tutorial for creating Offset Animation Using the MoGraph Cloner in Cinema 4D here.
