Certainly the Mograph Multi-shader in C4D is a useful shader when you need to surface clones or many objects at once. When you are using a 3rd party renderer, such as V-Ray, Maxwell, Octane or Arnold (no shortage of renderers for Cinema, is there?) The multi-shader may not have support.

Here, InLifeThrill Design’s Dobromir Dyankov shows how he recreated the Mograph Multi-shader using the Arnold renderer for Cinema 4D. InLifeThrill is a great resource for all things rendering in Cinema 4d, so be sure to check out the site for more great tutorials and walkthroughs.
