Creating a grid of cubes using the Cloner
Cloners and effectors are the main strength of CINEMA 4D, and stacking effectors is a huge timesaver when creating complex animations. Let's start by designing out the concept of our network promo bumper animation. So you'll see I have an empty scene right now. We're going to start by creating that cube grid that's in our animation. And so the first thing we need to do to create the cube grid is to get our cube. So we go up, get our cube, and we're going to change the size down to 150 in each direction here, and we're going to add a nice rounding to it. We're just going to do that by selecting Fillet--and that's a little bit too much rounding there. Let's just bring that down to 5, and a Subdivision of 5 is just fine. So now we've got our cube. Now we've got to create that grid. And we're going to do that by cloning it by using a MoGraph cloner. And if we just drag our cube into our cloner, you can see that it starts duplicating it upwards. And it's set to Linear mode, and that's not…
