The creative possibilities when using MoGraph are virtually limitless, so, what is MoGraph? It's a group of objects that allow for procedural modeling and animation within Cinema 4D. These objects include the cloner, which is the core of the MoGraph system, and effectors, which can be used to manipulate clones. There are other objects such as special shaders, for colorizing clones, and tags for recording and storing information about clones. If we look at this scene that we have here, you can see that in order for an object to be cloned, it needs to be made a child of the cloner.
