Creating the wave animation with plain effectors
Using MoGraph effectors to animate your scene can be a huge timesaver over keyframing by hand. Using effectors to procedurally animate objects allows you to automate much of your animation. In this movie, you'll begin creating the procedural animation with effectors. So you see we have our cube grid cube text all set up. Now what we need to do is start applying effectors to create our animation. So we're going to go up to MoGraph, go to Effector, and the effector type that we are going to be using specifically for this animation are just Plain effectors. The reason for this is, if you look under the Parameter tab, you can see that under Transform, you can only transform Position, Scale, and Rotation. Since we're only animating the object's position and rotation, Plain effectors are going to work just fine for what we need. So now what we have to do is apply our Plain effector to our cube grid and cube text. Under Cube Grid, we already have an effector applied. Keep that in mind. Now…
