Jonas Pilz shows how you can use standard effectors to deform geometry in C4D.

An effector is an excellent way to parameterize things in a mograph setup. But Effectors can be used as deformers too. A new quick tip tutorial from Maxon’s Jonas shows how many of the effectors in Cinema 4D can also double-time as deformers.

The tutorial shows which settings you need to adjust and covers which direction to choose to make them work correctly. Furthermore, Jonas shows three effectors and their effect on a surface.
