Julian Field shows how you can make a ‘cup and ball’ effector in C4D using Python.

Over the last little while, the Expresso Mechanic, Julian Field, is covering creating custom effectors for Cinema 4D using Python. That’s a bit of a break from his usual Xpresso tutorials than now show the benefits of using Python for scri[ting in Cinema 4D.

The ‘Cup and Ball’ Effector.

Julian calls this effector a cup and ball one. In the setup, a platonic solid becomes the ball that drops into a container. The container becomes triggered to throw the ball back into the air, at which point the ball will find it’s way to another cup. Then the process will repeat.
