Working with MoGraph and dynamics
The Dynamics Engine in C4D is powerful and easy to use, but what I think makes it most amazing is that it can be combined with MoGraph. What I mean by that is you can actually apply the Dynamics tag to Cloners and have those Cloners behave in a dynamic way. Let's create a very simple dynamic arrangement. I'm going to add a Plane to the scene, and that Plane is going to be a Collider object. So let's right-click on the Plane, and go to Simulation Tags, and add it as a Collider Body. And the Collider object doesn't move. It just sits there waiting for a collision to happen. So now let's make a very simple MoGraph arrangement. Let's go to our Cube and add a Cube to the scene. Let's make it very small, call it, say, 10x10x10. Now let's add that Cube to a MoGraph Cloner. So I'll go to the MoGraph Menu and go to Cloner, and put that Cube as a child of the Cloner Object, and let's make it a grid of clones. So I'll change it Grid Array, and let's crank up the count just a bit and make it from…
