Using C4D deformers

“

- [Instructor] Back when we were looking at the modifiers tab of the emitter, we saw a field for adding Cinema 4D Deformers and Mograph Effectors, and in this chapter, we'll explore those options. So lets' start off with deformers. In this scene, we have an emitter that's just emitting from this rectangle shape. Let's just have a look. It's very thin, and we've got these slow particles just flowing away. They're nicely, brightly colored. And all they're doing is just going around, and they've got a life of 150, so it's quite a long scene. What I'd like to achieve in this is the effect of the particles curving around a big arc. So I think the bend deformer would be perfect for this. So let's add a bend deformer to the scene. I'll just click here to add it. You can use the menu here as well. And there it is, in our scene. And all I want to do is to change the strength to 90, and it's rotated the wrong way currently, so I'm going to come over to the coordinates and make this minus 90…
