CG Shortcuts shows how to animate a responsive dividing effect using the free divider plugin for C4D.

Dave Bergin walks through a neat animation project where objects and squares animate to change scale responsively. That is to say, when one square gets larger, the others will shrink to keep the fitting. Animation like this may seem like a hard thing to accomplish, but it’s quite simple using a free plugin called divider.

Free Divider for C4D.

Aleksei Karpik’s Divider takes inspiration from some of the work and techniques from Dmitris Laopoulos, Matt Taylor, and Pasha Ho. Divider leys you create procedural subdivisions on polygon meshes, making modular style topology. The effect can also animate and loop with just a few clicks. Aleksei notes that “Currently the plugin works in R20+ versions, also note that this is pre-alpha version and some bugs are possible to appear. Have fun!”
