Using the Cinema 4D Inheritance Effector & Mograph for Faking Thinking Particles

By February 18, 2012No Comments

Eyedesyn’s EJ Hassenfratz with a part two look at the Inheritance Effector in Cinema 4D showing how to effectively “fake particle cloud movement” that would normally only be achieved with an Emitter or Thinking Particles and Xpresso.

The Inheritance Effector is probably one of the most underrated and underutilized effectors in the effector menu. In part two of my Inheritance Effector tutorial, I show you how you can fake particle cloud movement that would normally only be achieved with an Emitter or Thinking Particles and Xpresso. Using a combination of the Inheritance Effector and other Mograph Effectors, you can achieve close to the same effect as Thinking Particles as a solution in your normal workflow without having to touch Xpresso.
